The next level of challenge and rolling out the red carpet

6 “Almost” Olympic runners gathered to put in the work on a beautiful August morning. Some of the faithful Curahee were scattered but 3 from the south came to blaze the trail with us today. We rolled out the Red carpet and tried to keep a good pace so they would feel like the drive was worth it. We covered 5.25 miles in 42 mins with a sub 8:25/mile pace. Some hills and nice scenery made the distance go by quickly. There was much mumble chatter about “Whats Next” on the challenge block and a half Iron Man (after the Richmond marathon) seemed to be the favorite idea. Don Draper pushed to limit the swim with an Olympic Iron Man first. Rosetta seems to be taking the lead on the half Iron Man so reach out if that appeals. Our southside brothers continued for another 2 miles after we reached the flag. Pinto closed us in prayer and we headed out to enjoy the beautiful morning!
