So this idea of a run that hits several of the local establishments that first started in 2013 has continued on for its fourth year. Each year gets a little bigger in regards to participation. We had as many as 18 folks in the mix this year.
Thankfully, nobody lost their phone or got stuck in trying to climb a link fence or was hit by a car (it was close) or passed out in a bathroom. There was a dog found and returned to its an owner, a pull up contest where a Nolans finisher could not do a single pull up, and a showing of donkeys. The round trip of 20 miles and 7 stops was finished by four. Along the way there was the usual good dishing of trash talk, laughs, surges, discussion on how I have an old man stride, consideration of next summer race plans and memory of races long ago.
I feel pretty fortunate to know so many wonderful people that I can share some miles and beverages with. Chatter is that there could be a summer edition of this event, but it seems the desire there is with less miles but more stops per mile. Hoo boy.
