BUT….this time we ran the course in reverse. That was not the plan, but some eager beavers tried to jump start the run. Going the other directly put them in their proper place and that head start turned into a little disadvantage.
MARY: Hipster took charge of the after party and walked us down a ladder of Squats, Merkins and WWIs.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Welcome home, Chunks!! It was great to have you back.
