No, it’s not the encyclopedia salesman nor roosters. It’s being able to tell CW from CCW.
YHC showed up at #MeasureTwice a couple minutes early and just at 5:30 began the disclaimer (see NMS) and a talk-through of the run route. My goal had been to add a few short-cuts for the Clydesdales so we could run the same route and start/finish together with a few options in between. But Franklin started getting all antsy so instead of taking it nice and slow like I would have done normally with someone so clearly not in control of their faculties, I rushed through things. Oops.
First Measure – Run:
Start towards the big oval in Carpenter Village. Clydesdales right, Greyhounds left. Callahan got confused and went left. He regretted/enjoyed it.
At the bottom of the oval and entering the path going CLOCKWISE around the lake, I expected to see the Clydesdales off in the distance, acting as the rabbit to Shut In’s “Santa’s Little Helper”. But either those dudes got fast quick … or they got lost.
They got lost. Or rather, they listened to Liverpool who apparently said, very authoritatively I imagine, that CLOCKWISE meant right.
It didn’t.
Ah well. At least Callahan set a PR mile and 5K time!
Second Measure – Stretch:
Stretchies. I watched a yoga-for-runners video by some Aussie lady the night before but clearly my explanation of some of the routines did not meet expectations. Will have to try again. I liked the shoulder stretches though.
COT:
- 10
- Prayers: leaders, wisdom and patience. Pivot and Torpedo.
- Announcements: CSAUP is on.
NMS:
- Coronavirus situation is not getting any better in NC. A reminder that we need to maintain social distancing at AOs
- Nice job Callahan!
- Parker rocks a solid headstand. YHC… a bit less so.
- I did log a geocache on the way home
- Great to see Betsy Ross out this morning. It’s been a while but it’s always great to see an old face out in the gloom.
