Some may boil crawfish and add a little extra salt, other’s may barbecue adding some extra sauce. Then there are some who after a long work week stop at the Barley oak for a refreshing cold brew on tap with some friends to chatter about the upcoming weekend and quickly realize they may have had a few too many and soon make the call to Uber for a safe journey home… Or it could be those who meet at an AO for 0445 on a Friday Gloom for the weekly 10k, but soon become overachievers raising the bar just so slightly higher.. For all of you out there reading this Blast, here in south Luzianna “We Call that Lagniappe!”
Rolled in about 0440 with no one in sight thinking, hey if know one shows I will get out there and knock this thing out… NOT sorry Captain Sparkles if that would disrespect the Cove but the temp was in the low 50s with Gail force winds ripping somewhere near 15-20 and this 6% was struggling with the possibility of being a Lone Ranger… Wait a second Shooter, do you truly think your fellow F3 brothers are considering not posting to give you that opportunity? 🤔🤣 Not a chance as Steve turns in from Lakeshore Drive shortly followed by Carpool and then a sighting of Bushwacker rolling down Jackson street coming in Hot right on time…
We count off, say a quick prayer and off we go.. The Q took the PAX up Jackson to the Trailhead journeying a path he had taken the PAX on some weeks back.. Remembering the last time upon returning we had to journey past the AO down Lakeshore for a little extra to hit the 6.2 miles. However, on this Gloom the QIC threw in the loop from Thursday’s AO to get the extra required before returning and that’s where the confusion sets in. As Carpool and I turn back down Jackson off the Trailhead he brings to my attention that we have hit the 10k mark. So as we complete the run the distance comes in officially at 7.04 miles completed at an hour and five minutes with a pace around 9 flat.. Great job gentleman, way to get in some lagniappe this morning.. Now Bushwacker head home and get some much needed lagniappe in other matters that I need not elaborate on 😬…
Appreciate the lead👊!!
