The Thang:

While Buttercup apparently languished in standstill traffic at 6 am, 6 two-legged pax and 1 four-legged pax’s best friend departed the startex with eyes toward the hills (well, one hill). We ran down the beltline with much mumblechatter, but still a brisk pace, until we passed the skatepark and arrived at the turn off to the PATH Stone Mountain Trail. Conveniently, there is a nice hill connecting the two paths. We ran 75% effort repeats on it, until Gronkins finally put his hands on his knees at the top (which turned out to be after rep 5). Credit chided Gronkins for not putting his hands on his head, as every high school football player apparently knows well. We ran a bit more, then turned back to endex.

CoT:

We all face broken expectations. Grown ups can pout too when their expectations aren’t met. How can we instead meet our loved ones with love and grace.
