Moleskin:
-Midway down Pendleton St, #amble pax heard a large contingent of ROTC approaching like a Thundering Herd. It was all fun and games until our very own Woody got used a motivation prop by the drill Sargent. “Pick up the pace and catch that guy!” the instructor yelled at his cadre, “YOU ARE FASTER THAN HE IS!!” Looking behind him, Woody quickly realized he was indeed the object of this directive. Never to be outdone, Woody promptly picked up his pace and refused to let the ROTC catch up to him. Woody, T-Claps, my friend!
-Tough morning for YHC, whose heart was present and accounted for, but whose legs seemed to miss the memo and remain in the #fartsack. Somebody has to the Six, and today it was YHC’s turn. Just provides more motivation to get better.
Announcements:
-Happy to report that the discount for the Kiawah Half Marathon is down to $45. Send you $$ to Costanza via PayPal at [email protected]. We have HC’s from Noonan, Decay, Double Rub and YHC.
-PC with the Q on Monday.
Aye!
