Happy New Year to all of my Mint Hill brothers! After a hard run the day prior, seven Pax wanted to take the initiative to ring in the new year with…another run!  Go figure.  One Pax, Clover, was home comfy in his bed after just surpassing his 1/2 marathon goal the day before.  Sleep my little one, sleep, you deserve your slumber.  BUT GET YOUR ARSE OUT OF BED TOMORROW, BECAUSE YOUR NEW GOAL IS A SUB 2 HOUR HALF BY THE END OF 2020. 🙂  There, I feel better.

We all met at the HT on 51 for the start at 0700.  Jimmies was going to be our 2nd F place afterwards but ‘lo and behold, it was closed.  No worries, we have an hour to think of where to go.  One by one we all show, bust a little balls (especially on Man Bun for his LAME excuse for showing up late yesterday).  H&S took the defensive position as we “lovingly” commented about his running shirt and pullover.  He is always so fashionable (aka Enrico Suave).

The Route, down 51 towards Chuckwood and into Farmwood to explore Nimbus’ old boyhood home.  We meandered throughout that beautiful neighborhood, picked up the six once or twice and headed back to the barn.  It looked something like this:
