The notice came in late Tuesday evening on Mummblechatter that a Q was needed for the newest AO — Popeye’s. YHC graciously volunteered for the opportunity to lead the PAX. The forcast late Tuesday said there was a 70% chance of rain. What do they know? Fear of the flu had some Sad Clowns bailing out on the fun before it even began. YHC thought what a solo workout would look like–not expecting 7 PAX to post this fine morning.
Lafreniere Park is an endless opportunity for fun. Thoughts of the hills, the running track, and the workout equipment all raced through YHC head on the ride over. “Maybe 11s over the hills” “Maybe a run around the track” “Maybe some fun on the monkey bars” and if it rains “Maybe a full workout under the gazebo.” The conclusion…who am I kidding…let’s make this up as we go.
DISCLAIMER
I’m War Eagle. It’s dark. Be carful. Push yourself, don’t hurt yourself.
Then Cruiser (from F3Houston) noted that I was not a professional trainer.

At this point, the PAX asked, “Where are we going?” YHC couldn’t handle the lie any longer. “Guys, I am completely making this up as I go.”
Mambi suggests heading back to the workout area for some Mary.
Right after that my official Team Mothership RunRangerRun Apple Watch informed me we had hit the two-mile mark on our excursion. Team Rock City members were adamant that we were only at 1.5 miles. Suggestions for cheating and asterisks were suggested, but we all know the truth.
