Highland Cruise – 4/22/2015
11 Pax showed up on a surprisingly (surprising at least for the guy from Atlanta) cold late April morning for a cruise into the gloom. There was some regular running, some fast running, and some really fast running. In the end, I think everyone had sufficiently warmed up compared to their pre-cruise shivering. The Thing: […]
Not quite a 10k… but we are getting there
We are going to start periodically doing an out-and-back course to try to work our way up to a full 10k in the 45 minutes of time we have. We took it easy this morning, but we will begin picking up the pace and eventually hit that goal. The thing: From the parking lot, run […]
Spring is in the air… running is getting more fun!
12 Pax showed up on this perfect morning for running… can’t beat mid-fifties with a slight breeze. I promised that today would be a light day, and I stuck to my guns… I refused to give in to the pressure of @Frodo running shame-ing loops around us as we worked our way through the HC. […]
Running is more fun when you aren’t freezing your butt off…
11 of Highlands’ faithful came out at 5:30 this beautiful Spring-ish morning to get their run on… One pax showed up at 5:31 and thus ran by himself (Sorry for ditching you @Stoli). From now on I will start every cruise with a @Stoli-memorial-lap-around-the-parking-lot to give late comers an extra minute or two. The Thang: Pretty […]

It was a cold-ish Highlands Cruise this morning…
Nine PAX gathered in the gloom and cold this morning to encourage each other on a 3.5 – 5 mile-ish run. @Chowder brought the prescribed oven mits… but even though it was cold, his hands were hot and sweaty. Perhaps the oven mits prescription was a bit rash on my part. The thing: – Park to Park… […]
Schools may have been closed, but the Cruise was open!
8 daring PAX braved the howling wind, black ice, crunchy snow and other scary things this morning to get their run on. Actually, it wasn’t scary at all… just a little funny watching guys slip-and-almost-fall for most of the run. The thing: – Modified run-the-creek 5k course with an extra FairVista loop and Firehouse hoop thrown […]
Nice slow cruise… for the first three steps.
Being a little sore this morning, I was planning on a nice slow cruise… Little did I know what @Stoli had in mind. He shot out of the gate at what felt like a 7:15 pace, and he never relented. During our post-run chat, he intimated that he had decided that if was going to […]
