Catapult Escalator

AO: Catapult

Conditions: 50s and clear

Boxcar hit me up yesterday afternoon and asked if I was up for a pre-run. I promptly responded with an “SC” as I hate pre-runs mainly because I have to get up an extra 15-20 min early to stretch ever since I tore my achilles. But after taking a minute to check what the weather was going to be like today and seeing rain in the forecast during the day, I knew that it was probably going to be my best bet to get a 5k in if I wanted some points for the #1stFChallenge, so I texted him back a few minutes later and said that I was in. He told me to put the word out to see if we could get a few more PAX to join us. Knowing the Catapult guys’ love of running, I figured it would be a long shot, but you never know. Didn’t get any takers on slack, but not everybody always comments.

Fast forward to 3:55am… alarm goes off and I immediately regret my HC. But I get up and do my stretches to loosen up the ankle and right as I finish up I get a text from Boxcar at about 4:15 saying “I’m out sorry”.

$#$%#!!S@#$#^ (he pulled a rope a dope as First Base so eloquently pointed out to me)

Well since I was already up and warmed up… might as well head to the AO and get a run in, you never know if somebody else will show up for the pre-run. They didn’t. But as it got closer to the start, First Base and Crabs joined me for the last couple of laps.
