Hill Repeats and C25K Graduation

All East Charlotte Backblasts

August 6th, 2019 By Othello

YHC put out the APB on Slack last night to not have to run alone in the gloom.  No one responds, oh well.  0500 YHC arrives at the HT and on the way, gets a text from BC saying, “I’m coming, may be a few minutes late”.  Great, now YHC has a partner.  BC arrives, we simonize our watches and off we went, doing Evans Road repeats until 0530.  We got in 5 laps, good little hill, and I mean little.  This is a pimple compared to the hills we run at Pitchfork, Senator Royal, etc.  But, it’s better than nothing in The Hill.  Making Lemonade out of lemons, and training for BRR any way I can.  Here is our route.

At 0530, BC and YHC returned to the cars/Flag to find Chum, Hightower, Silas and Highchair waiting to rock-n-roll.  Wait, here comes Clover on two wheels making a late entry.  This was Highchair’s first posting to a run event in a while, says he needs to get in more running.  I agree, we ALL need to get in more running, the common denominator to all F3 postings!!

The route is as follows (Rabbits in front, p/u the six): out the back of the HT down Evans to Lawers, Right on Lawers to 51, left on 51 to Wilgrove, Left on Wilgrove to Nelson, Left on Nelson to Sunset, Left on Sunset to 51, Right on 51 and then backtrack back to the cars.  It looked sort of like this.

Congratulations to all who participated in Chums Couch to 5K (C25K) training program over the past few weeks.  You are now all ready for the Brixx in September, gonna be a great time!  Hey, we didn’t lose anyone this time too, bonus!! 😉
