& for my next trick I’ll turn 5 miles into 5k

Event Date

Sep 18, 2024


Pulled in the parking lot at 0528 and surprised to see no one in the gloom with running shoes and headlamps. They must all be at jug a lug. After double checking X and isotope website for details I may have missed such as another convergence or relocation I was about to head to pickup Weasley for 5 miles around the home turf. But then I saw it, a beacon! 2 headlamps bobbed past me on the street with the 6 in tow. After about a minute for me to decide whether or not to pursue I jumped from the truck and took off at speed to catch up as they were quite a distance  away. Turns out they’re Davidson pax running a 5 miler. They too had heard the legend of Speed Dating and The Count. We shared some distance but as it was apparent their terminal destination was far from my vehicle I decided to break off to finish 5 miles in solitude. Although the owls kept me company and I did enjoy their commentary. After some exploration a situation began to unfold. Rerouted to the HT to clear the colon. After 10+ minute unexpected detour I changed plans to head scoop up the dog and finish some slow miles with him by my side. 
Until next time,

this AO owes me some backblast credit from earlier this year — counting twice is not by mistake.
