The soup was thick today and that climb up S Ridge and Country Squire is no joke. Great route. Great running with Fudd and BT and having Swiper loop back and finish with us. Great job guys.
Nice run this morning! Needed that to get rid of the sore legs from yesterday. Have a great Tuesday!
Good one Lockjaw. We missed the last loop back to University… explains why we were a little short. Guess I owe you .3 miles.
I don’t think I’ve done that version somehow. No doubt that climb rivals Tempsford in my mind. Great to have Swiper and Gumbo push me to the point that we finally started going downhill. BT needs a nap.
And always good to see Fuddski!
I really wanted to enjoy this run, but as Gumbo pointed out, when the number of beers you drink the night before (3) exceeds the hours of sleep you got (2), that’s not a formula for success or an enjoyable run. Regardless, I did enjoy seeing everyone as well as running with Gumbo, BT, and Swiper. I’m not ashamed to admit that I pulled over at the rest stop in Spotsylvania and took a 20 minute power nap. Good route Lockjaw.
Respect for showing up Fudd!
I admit, when I started reading the sentence, “I’m not ashamed that I pulled over…”, I was certain that was going to end with “took a FUDD!” A power nap works too.
Great to see you this morning.
I initially thought the same thing as well.
Sounds like an opportunity for Offshore to find a formula describing beers (indirect relationship) and hours of sleep (direct relationship) to the number of optimal miles run.
It was good to have a Fudd sighting.
Wow. Quite a night, Fudd. I commented to Lockjaw that you were looking slower than your normal self…hope you got a nap today.
The run was at the top of the moistness scale. Yuck.
