posted on a chilly morning in the gloom for some OutNBack work.
It was a chilly, gloomy Monday morning that took a rather large red pill to swallow to get going. YHC arrived to find only Meatloaf in the parking lot getting ready. Uncle Buck arrived a few moments later and we were off at 0445. The three of us headed down Maxwell towards The Shipyard where they would eventually post for Hustle. YHC however made a U-turn after the 10 min mark chimed on the Ol’Runkeeper app. It was my duty to ensure the pax posting at 0515 for the normal Out N Back would be provided a disclaimer, directions if needed(they were not), and to start them off(Something I’m sure none of them could ever be counted on to do). Upon returning to the Fountain Head parking lot, There were several new cars from the folks going XL and a few pax standing around stretching. When the bell tolled “Go,” we were off!
Conditions – Dry and Chilly 49deg
Disclaimer – Cause it’s important!
The THANG – Run/mosey/walk 22.5 minutes North down Montague, stop, turnaround and run/mosey/walk 22.5 minutes South down Montague to meet back at the shovel flag.
COT
Namerama, Counterama

– Houston LEAP – It’s important to pass this thing on to someone else. Need any info on folks in the Houston area. Volunteer to go Down Range, volunteer to stay here and work on speaking engagements, emails, AO selection, or just donate $5 to help someone else go DR. Someone thought enough of this thing to pass it to Greenwood which is why you’re reading this now. You too should try your best to help pass it on! See Jugs or Alpo for more details and ways to help.
– Convergence – SIKE! That was last week!
Merkins x22 for #22Kill – Stop and say hello to a veteran today. We all would appreciate a kind word or an acknowledgement. It may just save a service member from harming themselves or someone else in the possibility that they fail to transition to homeland or civilian life.
Prayers
– Boy George’s Family and shortie. Doctor’s visit Wed. to determine potential causes.
– Hooker’s Inlaws are going through several difficult illnesses.
The run was good. The air surprisingly became not so cold(??) after just a few minutes of running. No one found a red wallet, nor tripped on the completely smooth and blemish free asphalt on Montague, but one Dixie Chick was found along with a Refugee. YHC was thinking about starting legislation to have them both deported to wherever they came from like every immigrant and refugee in America needs to be. We could call it, “give the land back to the Native Americans” campaign! A truck full of Nitrogen, CO2, or Newquelarrr Uranium and Hydrogen gas decided that it would release its contents across from Big Mac’s Tire just as we were passing on our return route. This was the main topic of discussion once everyone returned to the Fountain. If animals start popping up with 3 eyes or 3 legs, we’ll know that it might have been a WMD from the local propane company. But in the end, everyone that posted was better for it. We all pushed the rock when it was easier to stay in the fartsack, and we all can say that we started our weeks off on the right foot……or the left. It was a pleasure.
