Don’t Q what you can’t do at OG’s and Tractors!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: BAM<\/p>\n

Date: 7\/13\/18<\/p>\n

Pax: Velvet, Peacemaker, Sourmash, Spamalot, Palin, Litterbox (WB), Van Pelt, Glazer, The Vig, Mongoose, Beverly, Winklebaby, Zucky, Wiki, Sac, Drano, Balco, Red Eye, Suede, Manscape (WD), Shakes, Valdez, Boo Boo, BAM (QIC)<\/p>\n

In the years of existence of the Other Guys, YHC has always proudly claimed Tractor status.\u00a0 Regularly watching pax start with Tractors\/Square Wheels, then moving up and out to the OG’s, and lapping YHC in the process.<\/p>\n

So, when tapped to create routes for OG’s and Tractors, the refrain, don’t Q what you can’t do popped in YHC head.\u00a0 If there was ever a time to do an OG route, this would be it.<\/p>\n

Setting a goal of 10 min pace, blistering I know, YHC launched at 0515.\u00a0 Assuming it would be a solo launch, was surprised when all these other pax left at the same time.\u00a0 Immediately doubted my timing, that YHC had launched too late!<\/p>\n

The only MC that was heard was when pax passed the QIC.\u00a0 Always encouraging!\u00a0 Of course, being a non-running, YHC accidentally lied to Beverly on how many miles had be covered when he went flying by.\u00a0 YHC realized the error and tried to shout it out, but he was too far ahead.\u00a0 Didn’t feel too bad, it was Beverly after all, #runfordays.<\/p>\n

YHC made it back right on time, pace 9:50, distance 6 miles.\u00a0 That would be the longest run in 46 years for YHC. (and technically the fastest).\u00a0 In the ISI department, to run that far, by myself, with no music is a big deal for somebody who dislikes running and is easily distracted.\u00a0 I regularly heard in my head the encouragement of the pax, which made it possible.<\/p>\n

No guarantees I’ll ever run OG’s again, but have run it once more than I ever thought I would.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n

Prayers<\/strong><\/p>\n
