April 6, 2019.
Showed up at 6:45 and no one else showed until 7:10. By that time I’d already made a deal with Dennis that I might just work out with them this morning. Dennis and his group have been meeting near us at the Knoll doing their exercise routine. Shangeaux’s daughter sometimes works out with them. We all greet each other every Saturday and enjoy his dogs that get so excited when the run or when the stop running.
Then Big Easy showed up and then Banjo and then about 8:00 Shangeaux miraculously found us way out in the far east end of the park where we’ve never been, and stayed the course with us.
Since our group was small we just decided to work out with Dennis, Paul and Gerald and of course Dennis’ 3 dogs, today. Dennis seems to be their exercise leader. Since I had asked to join him I opted to let him lead his group and we would just try to go with his lead. He moseyed us all northward on the walkway toward the bridge where we store all our coupons in the creek. We crossed the bridge and went NE towards the tennis courts. There we did a variety of lunges and skips, both sideways and forward and then backwards. We did Kariokes back and forth from the big oak tree to the concrete pad with the water stub up. We eventually ran all the way to the building to the East with the water faucets, near the playground equipment. Rested there a minute. Then walked from their to a place at the far East edge of the park, beyond the soccer field. From there we did a variety of relay runs from a point on the trail to the south near a green carpeted exercise spot about 10×8 feet. Did a variety of exercises on that green mat. Then did more relay runs back and forth along that eastern end of the running trail, which is also very near Highland Road. Ended with a full tilt run from the a point along the creek to the nearest picnic table pavilion which is about ¼ mile away. We then all walked back to the parking lot pavilion. We did not have our usual COT or namarama since we really just joined their group for the morning.
