THE Denver Friday Fun Run – A Meteor, A Prius and a Helicopter

Event Date

Jul 31, 2020

AO


6 men made the "early" edition at 0530 to start their weekend early….

 – I didn't realize how much the 0530 crew has missed me.  We left 5 minutes late after everyone really opened-up and I had to fight off several attempted man hugs.  I promise I'll try to make some more early runs.  But you will need to be able to stand on your own 2 feet at some point.

 – Dandy rolls in early to the AO, and Gecko rolls in late.  Gecko explains that he was knocking on Sam's door to wake him up.

 – While running down Camino the PAX sees a glorious meteor streak across the sky.  I guess this is one bonus of the early edition.

 – Moments later, we hear a vehicle approaching from behind in the opposite lane, to which Sam says, "car back, actually it may be a Prius", it turns out to be a full-sized 18-wheel cement truck. 

 – Again, moments later, another car, Sam says "Car Back! Sounds like a helicopter", SMH.  Not a helicopter.

 – Rudolph joins us after camping at the WWC yesterday and hiking 20+ miles.  I admonished him for not wearing a vest in the dark and he said that his white chest was reflective.  Maybe stop shaving it.

 – Fabio has no such luck, he sports a full sweater vest even when he goes shirtless.

 – Shirley busts out of the gate and sets-down a blistering first mile.  He then feels sorry for us mortals and re-joins us in Covington.

 – I guess I'll offer a 0630 option next time, but I can't win no matter what I offer.  Remember, you are Freed To Lead!
