There I was, arriving at 5:00 before my 5:45 Q and the internal debate was strong...you're at a brewery bro, go ahead, grab a cold one while you put your plan together for the millennial beatdown. Having been a Punchbowl Noob I wasn't sure if that was acceptable behavior so I opted for some EC scouting instead. Tormund pulled up around 5:05 and was on a call so I defaulted to heading out on my own. Gepetto has been a great site Q for PunchBowl even though the Metro Website cant tag the #Punchbowl Backblast (Help Festus). G was reaching out months back to lock me into a spot and when I had a Mammon conflict for my first date, Rose' saved the day. My substitute date came in with a cold snap and 5 brave PAX heeded the call. Shout out to my daughter's Boyfriend Kushner (Kush) who answered the call from me around 4:30 and was ready to roll for his second F3 post without hesitation.
What we Did: Ran 3.3 mi along the rail trail following DiCCS Protocol (more on this later) Stopped for pain stations and Goat Yoga
Pedo was throwing shade from the start, this is an afternoon workout and I'm used to the gloom so to simulate I wore my super cool Lineberger Dentistry sunglasses for the Q and off we went. Tormund was up front the whole time, I felt like I had him on a leash ready to take off, dude is beast mode. Pedo somehow planned it so that we passed by his Girlfriend as she was eating dinner and ran out of the restaurant to give him a big smooch. Ped also planned it so that we stopped for the evening smooch in front of some Goat Yoga right outside Indaco and the Trolley barn, mental note to make a stop there next week for some Monkey Humpers.
Kush and TigerD were steady and focused on keeping the Q between the lines, at one point we stopped for some scaffold upper body work and the two of them were conspiring I think on how to pull it down.
then - back to the AO with a quick stop for Burpees, more pain and a Mary finish near the Suffolk Punch light rail stop.
NMM: What's wrong with wearing sunglasses during a workout? Its certainly not against a core principal, and it is in line with the newly launched DiCCS safety protocol (https://coda.io/d/Stuff-Worth-Trying_dt9MwveNe4u/Safety_su8L3#_luezW)

What a great AO, lots happening around it and a great Opportunity for some Second F connections. This would be a great spot to post up for HDHH as well.
For the record Tormund ordered some kindof pink liquor drink that he claims is like an old fashioned but could've had an umbrella in it... and I ordered a Sour, which I felt was a solid option given my recent propensity towards seltzers but he still proceed to poke the bear. Pedo was wearing a celebratory shirt for an Ultra he didn't run after bailing on his buddy that am at #shorecard but as expected, he led from the front.
