Nice Body placed a call to the bullpen late yesterday afternoon ISO a Q for #TheSummit to cover for Novocaine, who is on IR. Since it’s a run AO, I was pretty sure I could pull something together, and since I haven’t Q’ed there before, I was happy to take the opportunity.
The Thang
Pretty simple plan: go out ISO some of my (least?) favorite hills and add a catch me if you can component to make it a little tougher. The first CMIYC was on Summit – partner 1 ran backwards while partner 2 did 10 merkins and then ran him down. Flapjack to Fifth Street. Same exercise on Rock Springs (Aquaman renamed it something that will not be repeated). I wanted to do it on the 10th Street bridge, but time was short, so we just scurried up (passing #RunStrong in the process) and headed back to the flag. I got 4.8 miles in.

Enjoyed the AO and the PAX today. Good mumble chatter among this group. The cool weather is a very welcome change, particularly for runs. This was another great example of the benefits of answering the call when the opportunity to Q comes knocking. Thanks Nice Body!
