The Thang:
_Departing Christ Church, left on Portland to Beverly, out to Queens; Queens to Selwyn to Brandywine; right on Brandywine to the terminus of the Sugar Creek Greenway; along the greenway to Princeton; right on Princeton to QRW; Booty Loop along QRW to Hopedale to Gold Guy Intersection; back down Providence to the church. 5.6 miles, according to Map My Run. Time was around 46:30.
Spreadsheets from the Gloom:
_ 3x claps to DW, Holtz and Nino for hitting a Brisket beforehand.
_ No dogs or shirtless guys for this one. MMOB, Dredd and SixMike were all DR; Hitman was not in evidence and my dog was at the kennel enjoying the final hours of her 4th of July vacation from us.
_ Kotters to PBo and Doobie -- particularly PBo, who picked up right where he left off in terms of needing a mid-run pit stop. Unfortunately, the route was a deviation from the traditional uptown loop that takes us right by the Petro Express at the 2-mile mark, so PBo had to do some scrounging. In these economically constrained times, the Port-o-Jon selection isn't what it once was in inner-ring Charlotte, and PBo's selected Scrod Spot was perhaps a little closer to the back door right next to the back door of a charming Myers Park Manor 3-bedroom than he would have preferred. Thus he was somewhat flustered when he emerged from the green plastic shed to find the lady of the house waiting with a steaming cup of coffee and inviting him to join her for breakfast. We don't know what happened next, but he was only about four minutes behind the first group to arrive back at Christ Church so whatever it was happened quickly.
