BRR is right around the corner, and this morning’s route reminded me that I’m kinda glad that I’m not running it this year, or at least am glad that I haven’t been training for it.  Hills suck.  They really suck when it’s relatively hot and humid.  In spite of that, 16 of the Dash’s finest and Mongoose ran the following routes:

OGs: ~6.2 miles

Announcements

  • Schmedfest next weekend, 8/24, Schmed-lympics that morning, beer truck involved.

  • A new round of GAS groups are being formed – connect with Hazer for more info.  You should do it.

NMM

  • Winklevoss told me that people kept calling out something like “A Hole” throughout the route, but the footing was fine.
  • Much discussion and consternation about the activity buses in the parking lot.  Really.
  • Velvet may be directionally challenged, but the dude can run well in sandals.  Looked like he might be trying out for a new 300 movie.
  • Only 37 days until the Autumnal Equinox.

Thanks for the keys, Vig.

SYITG,
