We ran. Some rucked. In loops. Around Old Kingsley (business park). ~4.5 miles
WARMUP: the nice warm air gave us all the warm up we needed
THE THANG: the recommended route was L on munn, R on Harris, R on Sam smith, R into Sutton place neighborhood, take the first left 3 times to arrive at Sutton, R on Sutton, turn around once you hit 6th Baxter and do the whole thing in reverse. 4.35 miles. Not many did this route, but those who did were treated to some solid hill work <#C09QRA67ST0>

Vuvuzela sent a text around 1:30am saying he was still up and wouldn’t be able to Q. Since I was already covering site Q duties anyway, I did what any site Q should do when you have a no show Q—step up and Q yourself but I was able to use Vuvuzela route he provided.
The Thang (Run):
Route took us:
– Down Munn Rd
– To Harris St
– Right into Sutton Mills
– Crossed Sutton Rd
– Down Suttonview Rd
– Into Masons Bend
– And back to home base
Clocked roughly 4–5 miles at a solid, conversational pace.
PSA: Running AOs require constant awareness. Too many distracted drivers out there. We can’t control them, but we can control spacing, visibility, and keeping our heads on a swivel. Shady and Tiller can attest.
COT: Talked briefly about stepping up when plans change. Leadership doesn’t wait for perfect conditions—it responds when needed. That’s how trust is built and how groups stay strong.
Grateful for men who show up, adapt, and get the work in—no excuses.
WARMUP: 4 mile Route was described
THE THANG: Head up Munn, left on Harris, loop through WEP and back.
MARY: 2 minutes at the end.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas Party, Xmas Eve Convergence, Bethel Men’s Shelter

THE THANG: right on Mun left and Kingsley park circle, cross over 160 to Kingsley do as many loops as possible, head back

COT: keep several father in laws and uncles in your prayers plus prayers for direction.
Run. Run run run. Run. Stop walking. Run run run. :runner:
