With a 12 mile, obstacle-filled mud fest of a CSAUP awaiting the men of F3 saturday morning, this particular man knew a 4:45am 10k would not be high on his priorities. However, a simple “maybe-ish” text to one half of “The Northshore Core”, Shooter, was enough to stoke the irrepressible flames of the EH. Somehow, after just brief digital exchange, YHC found himself roped in as though he had signed up to Q himself rather than offering to cover for Captain Sparkles (Captain Sparkles =EiEi, but that’s a different backblast).
With a chance groupme comment by the long lost Pelican offering similar intentions as I, YHC felt compelled to sic the EH master on him. SUCCESS! 3 sets of headlights ended up simultaneously rolling down Jackson St. to converge at the Cove.
Today’s 10k was, indeed, and educational experience. So to recap, what did we learn?
1. There’s no readily apparent excessive benefit to a Disney cruise over a non-Disney cruise.
2. LBCs are a great way to break up the monotony of a long run.
3. Though a man may keep mum about your over exaggeration of accomplishment, NEVER misrepresent that your HALF beat his WHOLE.
4. Self-employment tax sucks!
5. Shooter wins the gold medal for EH.
6.Garfield can put the best of us to secret running shame.
7. The Pelican is Japanese!
8. Bushwacker suffers from Foot-In-Mouth disease.
9. Small grown men drive small grown cars (but they sure are fun!)
Class dismissed
