6 of us dodged puddles and covered over 4 miles this morning. Here was what YHC dubbed the “Billy Madison” route:
– Circle Doby’s Bridge Elementary, up Neff Court
– Take the rocky path up and over Doby’s Bridge to and through Dominion Bridge
– Venture down Whites Rd, left at the Forest Creek Middle basketball courts, around the school, down to the track and back up and over Whites Rd again
– Circle Catawba Ridge High School, back over Whites Rd, through Dominion Bridge (up hill this time) and back to COT
– 4.16 miles total

When we all arrived this morning, it was pouring – like, you cannot see the road pouring. I think we all thought the worst about what was to come. Funny thing though, at 5:13 the rain stopped and we stepped off. We made the situation much worse in our minds than what was reality. There’s a lesson there. Maybe the thing you are putting off isn’t as bad as you think it is. Maybe you should just step off and get started. Or maybe it was just happenstance. Maybe.
Aye!

This Morning’s Run Recap ?♂️?
Original plan was to hit Fairway Dr and pass Esso’s place, but with all the rain overnight, I called an audible to stay off the slick roads and low visibility. Opted for Massey instead—only to find plenty of deep puddles waiting for us. Shoes were soaked within minutes, and we squished our way past the clubhouse, making it a true waterlogged adventure. Highlight of the route: ran past the biggest frog I’ve ever seen—no exaggeration. Finished strong with a loop around the school and shopping center at 6 AM.
Great work by everyone who showed up and pushed through the wet conditions. Enjoyed the miles and the company this morning! ?
