We gathered. We greeted. We left at 07:00:00.0 for a neighborhood trot. YHC wanted a sunrise pic from the docks and check out neighborhood changes. 14 runners out.
Fortunately, the later start and clear skies did not require Rudolph to wear his namesake center post, blinky light. And there was much rejoicing.
Vortex was excited to see Slider join us maybe a little too excited.
Slider is wicked fast and raised the bar on the Asta la Buena Vista segment, much to Rudolph's dismay. Nice having the young pup around, except when he takes us down Silver Eagle to run up that steep hill. Not nearly as much rejoicing.
Skipper was enjoying THE Friday FunRun without the burden of unofficially or officially leading, although this backblast is no doubt a step down from his usual clever and snarky write ups
Spork reminisces about his running days, chasing segments, queue the dreamcloud flashback sequence…sigh…putting in the work recently, that all-running Q last week #CrowdPleaser
Dr Doolittle and Einhorn put in some extra work before 7, running both separately and together somehow. Was going to suggest a wormhole was involved but knew it would be too much for Clark
Theuss(!!) so great to see you Bro! Always wonder when we run past his house if he's like, "Bro, I just ran from here. Be more creative." Or like, "yaaaas, love this route!".

Bertha loves the new indoor trainer bike and touring the US with George Hincapie's bike training videos. Who doesn't love GH? #bromance
Boucher seems to be recovering well from a recent ab injury and is very strictly following Dr's orders
Shirley and Mulligan were holding down the fort mid-pack. #MyLoss for not catching up with them more. no doubt they were missing Skipper's leadership
Strudel…wait, 15 runners in?…where'd you come from? Glad you found us Bro! I assume we picked him up when we ran past a few porta potties but I'm not sure. #persistence
Many fist bumps of Merry Christmas and glad tidings at the finish. Was super great to see everyone! Enjoy your family time and be wise. Share the Christmas story and make sure you are leading your family in His ways.
Merry Christmas everyone! May His peace and love surround you and those you cherish.
Always an honor to lead
