Minute Man rolled in at 6:02 — just early enough to technically make the “6ish” window.
⸻
?♂️ Road Warriors:
• Fogerty, Bass-o-Matic, and YHC tackled Sam Neely to Harvest Point and back — locked in a crisp 10K (6.2 miles) before most people even hit snooze.
• Peach Stand took the scenic route: Sutton, Baxter, Starbucks fly-by. 4.25 miles and the quote of the morning: “6 miles wasn’t in the forecast.”
• Tiller and Minute Man completely ignored the Harvest Point turn like it never existed.
• Tiller hit the Dam and flipped it at 8 miles.
• Minute Man nearly made it to his own driveway before realizing we weren’t behind him — turned back at Dam Rd for 9 miles, crushed That Hill™ like it was flat. Savage move.
⸻
? Trail Gang:
• Vuvuzela and Roll Off delivered a trail-running masterclass:
• Vuvuzela lost a shoe mid-run, went full archaeologist to dig it out, and still gutted out 9.5 miles.
• Roll Off sprinted those same 9.5 miles like he was racing the time clock — controlled chaos at its finest.
• Sasquatch went full beast mode: prerun from home to Lake Haigler, ran the workout, then ran home. 10.66 miles — just showing off at this point.
• Everest and Cobra Kai casually dropped 9 miles like it was a warm-up jog.
⸻
? Ruck Ops:
• Wegmans did his thing — 3.6 Kingsley loop miles with weight on his back and grit in his soul.
⸻
? Shoes were lost. Hills were tamed. Coffee was earned.
?See you next week — no map needed (but maybe bring a phone just in case).

WARMUP: coffee for me
THE THANG: it was a perfect morning for a run, YHC did 5, Vuvu did 8-10. I gave a route and then did not follow it. Instead, down Munn (great warm up mile), left on Harris, flat, down, UP, left on Ardrey, nearing WEP I saw the boss and his merry band warming up, my pace increased … in the opposite direction, back on 160 (sidewalk nearly complete), N on 21 to the back entrance to Kingsley, around the long way, almost home and I was summoned by the fast guys rounding up. Reversed for a minute, and return
