Prologue:
My cousin-in-law, the recently minted Go Long, has given me new motivation to post the non-running AOs (as well as just to get out of the fartsack). I haven’t Q’d since Feburary 14 and Yukon has been holding down the fort at Lame Duck for way too long, so last night I decided I needed to step up. I confirmed with Yukon that the Q slot was still available and tweeted out my intentions, a tweet that included a very appropriate GIF of a duck kindly receiving ambulatory assistance.

The was some confusion on the part of the persons who run the Lame Duck twitter handle, as they were unable to see any duck in the GIF. I assured them the duck was there and went to sleep.
I made sure to set my alarm to arrive in time for the 5:44AM prerun, completed in time for our 5:45AM start. I’ll post results to Strava soon.

Naked Moleskin:
Man, it’s hard to mumble chatter when you are Q. I really heard Old Lady Crunches last week, and then I had to keep cadence while Yukon got to play with the name haha. Very glad to help Yukon out and very glad to have Go Long to motivate me to post. I really liked the Mercan/LBC combo that Spurrier used at Dawn Patrol two weeks ago (although 50 is about all I can handle at a sitting, not the 100 he did!) Future attempts at the Square Root/Duck Duck Goose combo will include two laps, one lap was way to short.
Support each other!
