Conditions: A cold and clear 32*

The Thang

Run north from the Fountain Head and hang a left on Cambridge.

Run down the hill, then up to the top of the bridge and back down. Before heading back up the hill as usual, take a slight detour from the normal route. Hang a left on Charles St. push yourself up the short, very steep hill (We’ve been running past this gem for months. How have we not incorporated it sooner?) and back down. Take a left back onto Cambridge and continue up the normal route. Repeat until Q thinks you’ve had enough. Run back to the Fountain Head.

BoM: Prayer from YHC

NMM

Today’s run had an extra hill thrown in, and I think it was a big hit based on the thanks YHC received at the conclusion of the run. Maybe it will become a normal part of the route.

Duggar was stood up by his running date and went out on his own. YHC saw him as I was driving in. Running, all alone. Looking over his shoulder, maybe hoping to see someone catching up with him.

Alpo was visibly upset about his blunder and did the right thing by punishing himself with one more lap than the rest of the PAX and a few doghouse merkins at the end of the run. Some flowers and chocolates may be a nice touch too. It is Valentine’s weekend. Just sayin.
