I am not certain if it is uncouth, unbecoming, untoward, crass, or a violation of the F3 chapter in Emily Post’s Etiquette, but what follows is a backblast of an officially unofficial workout which will hopefully very shortly hereafter become an officially official workout at the recently dubbed CAPTAIN’S COVE.
Five PAX arrived at the predetermined, slightly changed location (what gazebo???). We were about to begin our pre-departure routine when Ocho rolled in hot, in a most silent and environmentally friendly fashion, although that may be subject to debate when one considers the volume of ore required to be mined to manufacture a lithium battery for a Prius, not to mention the challenges that disposing of such presents. Nonetheless, the Ocho-operated Prius glid into the parking lot. Apparently the parking lot stripes are laid out in an unintuitive manner, resulting in the Prius intersecting a yellow stripe at an acute angle. Mumble chatter erupted (well, erupted may be a bit too dramatic a verb, but there was mumble chatter, trust me) as the Pax laughed and pointed at the parking job Ocho executed. Perhaps Ocho heard the chatter because he proceeded to engage the Prius’ hip and trendy electric motor once again and, with a bit of pitch, yaw, and roll piloted the silent auto into a position parallel to the stripes.
Countorama, nameorama, prayerorama. And we’re off. Three pax proceeded at a slightly faster pace, and C-Spark announced that the three in the lead would add the “Thursday Scramble Loop”. This allowed the trailing Pax to catch up and overtake the lead pax. At Sunset point, lead Pax met up with tail Pax and kept going. We finished in two groups at the gazebo that does indeed exist, with the lead group getting an extra ~1/2 mile in, thanks to the loop.
Really digging the 10K Fridays guys. This, with the City Hall Scramble, has seen several self-proclaimed “I’m not a runner” Pax tackle the mental obstacle of running. Excellent, excellent work guys! See ya next time.
