YHC has been going back to SouthWest Little League (or formerly known as Little League, what is Ripkin league anyway?) for the 2.3’s Quickball games, and is getting all nostalgic from childhood. So in line with that, decided to launch from their and run down to Tanglewood in celebration of the upcoming #Turnberry CSAUP on Sudnay!

The Thang

• Routes were as follows:
  • 5 miler (into Tanglewood): https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4321817395
  • 3 miler (into Tanglewood): https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4321820338
  • 1 miler (stays off Idols, SWLL only): https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4321825726

• YHC took us out giving thanks for the science and effort that went into the rocket launch this morning.

• All of the 5 miler PAX bailed on YHC, so those who showed up all decided to stick together for the 5K route.
• This lead to some great conversation about kids playing baseball, where guys were from, encounters with Coyote’s, and running by rotten dead deer.
• The highlight of the morning was the perfect timing of running back down Idols with the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket perfectly in view. Not only did it light up the sky, but the coolest moment was when the boosters separated and it created a circular shockwave that emanated outward, before becoming noticeably dimmer.
• Hooker and YHC then ran up to Wilson Park to check out some fields that aren’t a part of the Main SouthWest League fields… we heard what was likely batting practice going on inside of a warehouse while circling around. A good thing we didn’t stay because minutes later some young ladies came driving out from there and they likely would have beaten us up with their bats for startling them.
• After leaving, YHC swung by CodeRed and Chestnut’s houses and left some F3 stickers since they live 1 minute away and couldn’t wake up to join us. 60 Minutes was also absent?!

A solid group of men for a very memorable run this morning. Thanks for joining, hope to see you at Alcatraz on Saturday and/or the TurnBerry on Sunday!
