Eight showed up on a warm Friday morning ready to take on the Glen Eagles hill and its many cul-de-sacs. Why? Because running uphill is super good for you—don’t just take my word for it, check this out: NYT article. We logged about five miles (give or take), enjoyed the effort, and appreciated the company. Great way to start the day—strong work, gents!

Three ruckers and a runner posted on this Thursday to Rutland for the Tomato Run/Ruck. Since it was about 78 degrees and the runner was alone, he joined the ruckers to make it 4. They walked around Rutland discussing such topics as “Super Size Me” and what’s the difference between a dialect and a language. YHC learned quite a bit from Bulkhead on this topic. COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, No Idea took us out. NMS Great seeing No Idea back out again. The runners had returned but seem to have forgotten about Thursdays. Maybe as it starts cooling down again.…
