12 pax showed up for a brisk morning dough it run and 1 did the doughcho (Hoppin John). Good route with consistent mix of hills and a good pace by all!

Coffee was enjoyed by most. Not sure what ended up happening to Hoppin John’s bagels! They may have made it back to the break room at Glenaire……

Reminder to get out and run The Maynard at least once this week! Upcoming dough it run to Henry’s house and back….date to be confirmed.

Prayers for Life Alerts family trip to Florida ( for safe travels and sanity).

MIAGD!

Norwegian 4×4 in the books. 5-star effort by all. 4.5m covered with some nice elevation change as we raced around Avenue of Estates and Richelieu loops. Heart rates were elevated and then de-elevated. VO2 Max gains were made. Heckuva start to the week… MIAGD!

A dozen goombahs set out on a mostly-run workout with perhaps the most Jersey Italian guy in SCary.

The Pax were advised to stretch prior to the workout, as is recommended in Freed To Lead. We departed promptly at 0515 as we had much ground to cover. Ran about a mile to the Regus parking lot where we did a warmup round of 10 American Hammers, much to Hermes’ disappointment as he said we were wasting precious running time.

We then proceeded through the pathway behind Lifetime to get us over to Ritter, where we did a flyby of the Stonecutters crew and flag. We also stopped for a quick Thang which included 20 pull-ups OYO and while you weren’t going pull-ups, you did burpees. Once everyone was done, we ran the greenway back to Regency Pkwy for a set of American Sledgehammers. Then we went up to the Caterpillar parking lot where we did some catch-me-if-you-can and then did a round of American Sledgehammers at the location where that exercise was born 3 years ago. Back to the flag as the clock struck 6.

There was a lot of disappointment today. Hermes didn’t get the all-running workout he wanted. Enhancements didn’t get his Good Mornings. All I wanted was a coffee and some pound cake, but after hearing about how that would cost $7 at Starbucks, we decided to head over to NYBD instead, where I felt right at home. MIAGD.

14 PAX showed up this morning outside NYBD. An easy out and back down Kildare toward Maynard with a little loop around kilmayne added a little extra mileage and pushed the group to get back in time for the COT! Conversation was had, PRs were set, and coffee was enjoyed. Excellent work all around!

Signups still open for the South Cary picnic. Prayers for Petey as he continues to show strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Prayers for the Qs extended family as they learn to forgive and embrace eachother through difficult times.

Praises to the group for continuing to show up and push each other daily.

MIAGD!

Site Qs along with the flag were on spring break. We started out with jog down the greenway Indian run style. Next we ran up the hills and under the Kildaire bridge with merkins at the top of each side.

Mosey to Ritter Park for some abs and arms. A few pull-ups there as well.

8 mins left and a mile from the location the flag is typically posted so hustle back for a have a nice day.

Coffee was not had but pollen washing is needed. Astro did not attend.

14 went over the bridges and through MacDonald Woods. Ran into our friends from FWD miles out from their flag. Audible was called on the home stretch to grab an extra half-mile.

Announcements: Highland Games Saturday, Picnic next Saturday

Prayers/praises: unspoken.

NMS: The table stakes for getting to hang out with the fast guys is hauling myself around a 5 mile track. Always inspiring to be around them, so it’s worth it.

TClaps to HoppinJohn for yet another Ocho.

9 Stallions charged a classic JDI route. Complaints about the Guide were made by some. Good times were had by all. MIAGD!

Glorious morning to get doughy with it.

8 HIMs opted for the 5.5mi black diamond route which turned out to be more like 5.28mi. You are all still champions in my heart. YHC stuck with a more inclusive option.
Great coffeteria attendance and JRI collab. Shout out to Kiffin for buying the brew, thanks much!
MIAGD!

16 descended upon the lovely Giles residence in the hills of Regency for a poker night to remember. Vegan and non-Vegan snacks were provided. Beverages of various types were brought in by select Pax.

The game – two tables of 8 pax each. One of them was Tamara’s prized dining room table which was treated with appropriate care. Pax were randomly assigned to a table and a seat. One table seemed to have the more serious poker players, plus a wild card who kept busting them up and putting them on tilt.

Blinds increased very rapidly and steeply to keep things moving, which was both scorned and appreciated.

As the night wore on, the cream rose to the top with most of the names you expected to be there making the final table (except for Kiffin, who went out early despite a re-buy). High drama with many all-in moments. Down to the final 4 of Term, Astro, Augmented and Hermes. Out goes TP at the hands of the host and then down went that same HIM at one of the remaining two players. Not a single heads up hand was played as Astro quickly motioned to call it done and split up the winnings. Augmented with 2x the chips threw his weight around and suggested a $380 vs $100 split, which was rejected. After upping the offer to $360 and $120 the deal was sealed and two Pax went home monetary winners. But really…all who attended won.

Could highlights…
-term coming over to table two with exasperated updates on bad beats at his table
-oofda complaining about a bunch of recyclables that ended up in the trash can.
-laloosh doing laloosh things
-learning that there are both bosswood and boxwood cts in Cary
-Astro busting up Amway on another venue
-Buncha pax staying up hours past their bedtime

Well done, Hermes!
