The eve before Dragon Slayer, YHC was at Night Ranger. A 5 mile run was quickly negated by two beers and a giant burrito. My stomach was angry and that made my brain angry. So it came up with this at 9:30pm and then finished the thought at 4:35am this morning. Here’s what went down.

0452 – YHC decides he should go see if anyone is doing the Standard he tweeted out but praying that no one would show so a 30 minute car nap could take place.

0455 – Slingshot pulls onto Westmoreland Road ahead of YHC’s car. Damn it.

0500 – Enron is waiting for us to run. YHC briefly contemplates not running at all but reconsiders. During a wrestling match with his light, YHC tells Enron and Slingshot to take off and he’ll catch up. Enron and Slingshot then run Hoodie-tempo pace away and YHC doesn’t catch them until nearly the last mile of the Standard.

0522 – The runners witness Swamp Fox getting taken down by the law. Sources say he was pulled over for DWH (Driving While Handsome).

0528 – The runners return. The pax await. Swamp Fox pulls up with a ticket in hand (we can only assume it was to Disney’s Frozen on Ice). Grab bells and walk to the back of the church.

• Reach out to a kotter. Click the Pax list and do it now.

• It was great to see Ultraman, The Force, and Canuck today. They aren’t regularly at DS so it’s always great to see new faces. They of course crushed it and continue to prove age is just a number.
• AM-PM was on time just a couple minutes over late. We may need to move our preblasts back 5 minutes and then he’ll never be late again.
• Swamp Fox is insanely jealous of Popcorn’s cop charming abilities. The anger from the ticket today was on full display as he nearly launched his kettlebell into orbit during the thrusters.
• Enron had lots to say about the workout. All good things.
• Slingshot is starting to hate running. All according to plan.
• Cobra is out here getting stronger every week. Watch out Isotope – he’s gonna be smoking all of us soon.

I appreciate those who came out this morning. It’s tough to choose where to go each morning when we have so many options. Glad this group of men chose Dragon Slayer. Thanks to AM-PM for the opportunity to Q. Until next time – CB
