Return of the Six

When the call went out for a Q for the Commons YHC responded in the affirmative without thinking about it. Thinking would have led to excuses and excuses just take up time. YHC had a plan and upon reaching the Commons four other Pax put aside the excuses and were ready to become a Force. The disclaimer was given. Route talked through and we were off like the Millennium Falcon.

It was 80 degrees. We didn’t need a warm-up. Stretch and

Stop lights and stop signs Return to the 6.

East on 1st all the way to 5th.

Right on 5th down to Greene.

Right on Greene to 1st. (YHC glanced at his watch and realized the pace for the 5k was the fastest he’d run since last October. Maybe the hamstring is healing up!)

Right on Cotanche to the parking deck.

Run up the backstairs to the top.

Prayers for Papa Smurf and family; Prayers for Stretch’s friends; Stitches’ M and job prospect; Sarge, Steamy and other recovering Pax.

YHC’s mind was clear as a bell during this run. The heat and humidity were manageable and the company was great. The Commons is a great time of testing and fellowship. YHC has learned much about himself through the fellowship with his brothers at this AO. Seeing Stitches sign the plank, getting paced to my fastest 5k this year by Early Bird (it used to be Mellow Johnny…where you at bro?) watching Stretch head off with Freebird so that he could get the last of a 10 miler in are special things that happen at The Commons. It was the site of my 1st post and my 2nd Q. I got my name at the Commons. Now a little over a year later it continues to give me strength and hope. Come on out and get your run on and get the other bennies that are a part of one of the best AOs in ENC Crossbones. Aye!
