And all of a sudden, winter is here.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been enjoying morning runs with temps in the crisp 50s but for sure would NOT have come out this morning when it\u2019s sub 30 (so we just skip the 40s like that??). Closer, probably knowing my tendency to be lazy (and warm), asked me to Q and that\u2019s literally the only reason I showed up. Grateful for people like him to push me to be better versions of myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>route<\/span><\/a> was a simple loop from Reynolda Village, around Wake campus, down and back on Faculty, and back on the trail to Reynolda Village. So simple I don\u2019t think Juicebox even used his laminator for this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Balco and \u2018Bout Time led the way, as per usual. Being 5:30am and my brain not adjusted to the cold, I kept pace and made a comment at the start of the run to the runner on my left, thinking he was Juicebox, and realized in horror it was Balco, which meant I was going WAY too fast. I found pace with Red Eye and Closer, whom I picked the latter\u2019s brain for his thoughts about Paisley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe the biggest shock of the morning was that not only did Woodpecker make it to the beginning of the run, but he was there before me. He purposely told me NOT to pick him up this am because he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to make the Q late.\u201d You underestimated yourself this time!<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t see Bam during the run until the way back on Faculty. Before we could ask why, he shared a vital piece of news during our announcements: the public bathroom is definitely closed and locked until 9am.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the tabata, it was a collective group effort to help me remember the names of the exercises (another reminder I need to come not only more often to F3 but to more non-running AOs). We did some squats, some lunges, some of those things where you lay on your back and swipe your legs back and forth (re: low flutters). There were more but who cares and everyone seemed OK with the (mostly ad-libbed) selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayers for Burlap\u2019s dad who returns from the DR today. Praises for Juicebox\u2019s wife who\u2019s doing better but will probably need shoulder surgery before Christmas and Woodpecker got clean results back from his blood work earlier this week. He\u2019s also feeling better and running faster since taking Vitamin D supplements (that is, before the placebo effect was shattered when he found out that those supplements don\u2019t really work).<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, thanks for keys and for the push today, Closer. Happy to lead any time you\u2019ll have me<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
