KB and YHC pulled up at a little before 5:20 to see a herd of runners running away from the proverbial flag and all of their cars taking up valuable parking space. The days of a Lakeview Clown Car were apparently over.
With just KB, Vagabond, and YHC at the flag at the start time we felt a rumbling, before we knew it, the herd had surrounded us. It felt like a reenactment of the Mufasa Death scene in the 1994 classic, The Lion King. Before we realized what had happened Vagabond was taken away and the herd had left.
KB was nursing a sore ankle and not to leave a fellow pax behind, we went to his car to lift some heavy things. Turns out, the heavy things included, but is not limited to:
a bike
a 80 lb sandbag
20 lbs of laundry (unsure if clean or not)
a 65 lb kettlebell
a 15 lb ruck weight (this was found in the pocket of said laundry)
and some manner of creature that I dare not describe.
After lifting some of the weights around, Triple showed up; apparently he sensed the dirty laundry.
Nearing the end of our weight lifting session, we could hear the lackadaisical languishing of the runner herd; apparently they could start 10-15 minutes before hand, but could run all the way to 6:15.
We ended up with 16 Pax including Vagabond who reappeared unharmed (or rather no worse off than before)
COT involved some education on today’s festivities originally being called All Hallow’s Eve referencing All Saint Day tomorrow and continuing on to All Soul’s Day the day after.
