Stretches

In the middle of stretching Chicken Strip runs up with a jogging stroller like no big deal.

Mosey down South Union, with no lie, every intention of going to Les Myers and the greenway.

Pain station #1 at intersection of Hillcrest and Union

20 Merkins

20 squats (same exercises at all pain stations)

I had gotten about 3 hours of sleep after a long drive last night and I swear a devil appeared on my shoulder like a Donald Duck cartoon and says, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we ran to Bozeman’s house?” The angel on my other shoulder wasn’t answering texts or phone calls after a long night.

After yelling from the street at Bozey we arrive at pain station #2 at Sunnyside and Ingleside.

Some smartass in the back yells, “Homeland’s place is around the corner!” So we ran up a hill that looked like Wayne Manor’s driveway to pay him a visit as pain station #3. Apparently he was in the servants quarters and couldn’t be found. Photographic evidence was acquired.

Next on the hit list is Ace for no reason other than we needed hill training and his is a doozy as Pain station #4.

We look the scenic route to Chateau Williams for pain station #5.

Next was Mayweather but he was MIA. Pain station #6 was in his memory.

For some reason, someone thought running up Eastover to Skinner’s was a good idea so pain station #7 was held at his homestead.

Grover was the obvious choice next as pain station #8.

Next we moseyed up Louise to Washington, past Neverland’s digs to Tombstone’s favorite wine shop at the corner of Washington and Union for pain station #9.

Mosey to new parking deck for pain station #10.

Stretching

Prayers for Catfish’s family, prayers for all local civil servants and caregivers.

Coffee talk was golden as we sat around quoting movies that were from a different time.

It was different than I planned but sometimes it be like that. Apologies to annoyed spouses and dogs. Cats dgaf. I had fun and I hope everyone else did too. I was great seeing Anvil and Chicken Strip with presumably his child. We have good people all around us. 4.4 miles were logged in total.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.

Popeye
