The Funner, Cooler Thursday Fun Run

4 men showed up on a chilly morning to debate when the sun will come up get closer to nature.  Included in the group was a rare P-Funk sighting (don't call it a come back).

38 degrees – P-Funk and Clark are in shorts / Mulligan and YHC are more appropriate dressed for the weather.  Some people can't get the weather app to work before 0800.

Clark declares he has to be done by 0715 – we get going at 0630 in single file (when running single-track trails, it doesn't really lend to grouping up – which also doesn't lend to much group conversation).  YHC ended up out front – not by design.  Then M/C commenced in hazing to speed up.  38 degrees also means tears (or emotional pain from the hazing) in the eyes from the cold wind (because they wanted to run faster) – significantly increasing the risk of stepping on something under the leaves that wasn't seen.  Luckily no such disaster happened.

P-Funk tried a mutiny around mile 3.2 to take control of the route (so little faith in YHC's ability to do math and navigate time/distance).

4+ miles finished – last 1/4 mile on pavement (because P-Funk made us turn around early).  For the record, we finished at 0715 on the button.

Fun was had.  Heart rates were elevated.  Everyone agreed this was a significant upgrade from the Friday "Fun" Run.
