Paula Cole had it right in her song. "Where have all the cowboys gone?" These days men aren't as tough as they used to be. We no longer shave with straight razors, chop our own wood by hand, work on cars outside in the snow with our bare hands, drive cattle home, tend to our 40 acres, etc. Some of us still do, but most need their heated leather car seats, elderberry syrup and caramel macchiatos these days. We do things like complain that there are not enough charging ports in airports, post selfies and take our cars to Jiffy Lube for oil changes. That's ok. But 8 men woke up today, saw the 30 degree temps, saw it was raining and decided to show they still had a bit of cowboy grit in them.
We did 5 around the Slim Shady loop, Rabbit Circle and back Burton to the Clubhouse.
– Dandelion finished the run, and then broke-out into a full Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies re-mix. Millennials will never get that one.
– TL shows up with is Event Staff rain parka and all of us are instantly jealous.
– Rudolph joins us for an easy run during his busy running month of marathon training.
– Mater is looking stronger than I've ever seen him. Charging up the first hill out of the gate.
– Jeeves sports a full cotton hoodie to catch ALL the rain that hits him. #NoRaindropLeftBehind
– Fabio has his truck back. That means I'll be hearing about a monster truck in the neighborhood at 5am on the Sailview Facebook page today.
– FNG is "Patty" or "Patty Cake"? Register please.
