Yesterday, YHC asked the location of post Honeybadger coffeeteria and was promptly given the Q by an unnamed site Q who then skipped the workout.
I did appreciate the push, I hadn’t been to honeybadger in some time. I enjoyed seeing old friends and always enjoy downtown workouts.
2 for EC 5K run. Combined with yesterday’s Moose, I ran for nearly 14 miles with ShakeIt over a 24 hour period. 6 for coffeeteria.

1.75 mile covered.
