Under other conditions, the comments would have been: “Drinking club with a running problem? It’s raining: Let’s go. Then, let’s pour.” Under last week’s conditions, though, it was raining mighty hard. One runner messaged me with: ‘Bail’. The others didn’t message at all but just…bailed.
Four of us figured it had to get better and didn’t bail. We showed, but that rain was coming down hard and steady. We decided to do the after-celebration instead and then did our bailing on the run.
So we headed to Human Robot. Where we bailed. Out our shoes. We fairly sprinted through puddles and heavy rainfull and the splashing of passing cars.
By the time we finished pouring (beer at the bar), we were still super soppy, but the rainfall had ended. So we drove home. Except for Jason. He completed the evening with a run home. Jason: Thanks for redeeming the evening for the rest of us with a legitimate run. You did running for the sake of fitness, versus just for the sake of fatness.
