7 PAX made it to Town Center this morning, where we stood on a dark corner and waited for 0530…

THE ROUTE:

• Head toward Roberta, turn left toward 49.
• Cross 49, keep straight on Veterans Pkwy
• Cross the bridge, left on Stallings
• Turn left at Stallings Pk entrance, run the trail thru the ballfields
• Jump on the Harrisburg Elementary track and take a lap, then take the cut-thru to Ayrshire
• Left onto Bovine, run about half a mile, turn around and head back.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Santa Scramble 5K is 11/23
• Orphanage Christmas Party is December…22nd? See @FlipPhone for confirmation.

MOLESKINE:

YHC took the Q off @FlipPhone’s hands some time yesterday afternoon – he’s apparently been laid out with a tweaked back (get well soon). I pulled up to my usual parking spot this morning and couldn’t really tell what kind of crowd we had, because the nearby streetlamp was out. All you could see was a couple of guys in dark clothing standing there in the dark. I got out and joined them, hoping we wouldn’t look too much like we were casing the local establishments.

As for the workout itself, I hadn’t had much time to plan something new so we went with one of my old standbys – to the school track, then to @Clueless’s neighborhood, then head back. Always an enjoyable route, with some low-traffic miles, and plenty of sidewalk where the traffic is heavier.

Nice to be joined by @Strapless and @SSMinnow this morning. Both guys have upcoming marathons before end-of-year. Good to see @SoloCup who was all business this morning. @Gamma was there with the rucksack on, not that it slowed him down at all. He’s definitely going to kill that team ruck event next weekend. Finally, there was @Cowpens who I don’t believe has missed a #RoadWarrior since he joined F3. Watch the man’s #NoQuit attitude and it’s easy to see why he’s lost 50 pounds recently.

As always, thanks for letting me lead.
