Eleanor’s Hot Older Sister

YHC showed up this am at 0425 just below the glow of the Star of Bethlehem.  Just YHC, Mary, Baby Jesus, Joseph.  Stonewall showed up at 0430 and he and YHC ran the 3.2 mile pre run. Shiloh Church Rd to Hubbard, Hubbard to Cemetery Loop, Cemetary Loop to Shiloh, Shiloh up the hill to the Star. Let’s call it the “pre pre run”.

Fast forward to 0500.  YHC and Stonewall run down homestretch, where Cable Guy, Plank and Markup are waiting with the aforementioned Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph.  Then 5 Pax ran the 3.2 mile route.  Let’s call it the “pre run”.

Fast forward to 0530.  YHC, Stonewall, Markup, Cable Guy and Plank run down the homestretch to the Star.  No other Pax.  No Binary, No Humpy, No Root, No Taz, No Quack, No Labon (broken since IPC, sorry Labon).  Stonewall taps out saying he’s “got some work to do.”  YHC thinks he doesn’t want to get colder.

The Thang:  Warmup?  Who needs a warmup when you’ve already ran 3-6 miles.

Run back down Shiloh Church Road and across 127 to Chigger Ridge.  Stop in the Evan’s drug parking lot for simple mary installment.  No not that Mary.  She’s still back in the stable with the fam.  Run up Chigger Ridge.  Slowly and painfully.  Bethelehem Pax know this as the other mistress.  She’s Eleanor’s hot older sister.

Run to Squint’s competitions office. Some more Mary. Run across 127 and around the post office back to the Star.

Observations: YHC ran 9.75 miles, All other Pax ran 6.5. According to YHC’s fancy watch, that was worth 79 flights of stairs. Plank channeled his inner Binary, and complained about running the entire second three miles. TMDR. Cable Guy could run a half marathon without training at this point. Markup was able to travel somewhere without the Corning Bus System. Glad to see that Joker back. The route on Strava eerily appears like a Great White Shark, ready to dive back into Lake Hickory. This is the most YHC has typed in years…

WOD: 1 John 1:7-9. He is faithful and just and will forgive us of all unrighteousness. BUT don’t be a fool and think you’re without sin.

Hot Lips out.
