A PAX of two posted at Roller Coaster during the late afternoon of our country’s Independence Day.

YHC and Husky showed up at 5:05pm and did two slow short loops.  We finished a little before the official start time of 5:30pm but waited around to see if any others showed up.  By 5:33pm there was no sign of any others.  YHC and Husky left and picked up the rest of his family from home and attended a cookout at friends.  Calories from col beer were inserted into YHC’s body after today’s weight loss session this morning in the gloom.  Husky tried his best TYA impression by running shirtless.  Well done, Husky!

Have a great evening all!

See y’all in the gloom

Four strong came out to attack the hills in the latest edition of the Wednesday Hill Run.

TYA did 2 long loops for 4.5 miles

Swirly did 2 long and 1 short loop for 5.25 miles

Wedding Singer and YHC did 3 short and 1 long loop for 4.5 miles

Great run and temperature this evening! The rain held off but the thunder was rumbling at the end.

Post run conversation included how to perform a proper Hand Release Merkin on the amphitheater steps and when the next HDHH will be.  Stay tuned!

Training is in full effect for the BRR and the Wednesday Evening Hill Run is the best way to train.

Have a great evening all!

NMS:

Possible record numbers at Roller Coaster this evening!!  Between a mixture of Pax wanting to check this off of the challenge list, veterans who are training for BRR, regulars like YHC, and 2.0’s wanting to hang out with their cool Dads, Roller Coaster was the place to be.  There was mumble chatter about Vinny’s upcoming Dogpile Field Day and Husky’s Elementary School Field Day that just occurred.  Owls were hooting and mosquitos were biting.  It was nice to have the 2.0’s out so they could have fun with their Dad’s and each other.  YHC overheard Halfpipe tell Shark Bait to “drop and give me 10” after the run was over.  Shark Bait obliged!

YHC has really grown to enjoy Roller Coaster over the last few weeks and will make it part of his permanent weekly posting schedule.  Don’t just come out to check it off your challenge list, come back and have fun and get a nice run in at the same time.

Have a great evening all!

P.S.  Saab and family were seen in front of Beijing on Grove on YHC’s drive home.  YHC’s day is now complete.

See y’all in the gloom.

5 strong posted on a hot and wet Wednesday afternoon for a run.

Great day for a run, and great to have Husky, Kubota, and EF out there with Swirly and I.  Swirly and I were in taper mode (ABT) so we were in a slow mosey mode today.

Husky is a beast.  He and Kubota put in 2.25 miles in today. 3/4 of a mile more than last week.  When we launched at the beginning of the run, Husky took off like  a rocket.  We chased for a while, but he was on a mission.   Reward afterwards was two pieces of cheese pizza and a juice box (for Husky, I presume).

TYA OUT

Kubota writing on behalf of Husky.  YHC=Husky

Two veteran hill runners, one hill runner that needs improvement, and one rookie hill runner took on the Hillcrest loops on a gorgeous afternoon.

Swirly and TYA completed two extra long loops for about 4.5 miles

Kubota and YHC completed two short loops for about 1.5 miles.

YHC took us out with a prayer that went something like this: “Dear Lord, thank you for helping us come out here and run this afternoon.  Thank you for my Daddy bringing me out here to run with him this afternoon.  Also, thank you for Swirly and thank you for TYA.  We love you God.  Amen!

YHC thinks Kubota had a tear in his eye.

NMS:

YHC had his 6 year well visit with his pediatrician this afternoon and received a clean bill of health!  Afterward, YHC told Kubota that he wanted to go run the hills with the guys this afternoon.  Kubota and YHC went to Hillcrest early to wait for the guys and saw TYA’s car already parked on the side of the street and Swirly pulled in a few minutes after.  Kubota told YHC how he finally beat Swirly to an AO!  YHC was curious about TYA’s age so TYA told YHC to guess his age.  YHC guessed 70!  TYA did not get mad!  YHC came closer to guessing Swirly’s age (50’s).  YHC loved running down the hills and liked running up the hills.  Waterfalls in the creek, fast cars and trucks, and lots of squirrels were the highlights of YHC’s run.  The guys took pictures with YHC by the Shovel Flag and TYA gave YHC a Gatorade.  YHC had a lot of fun and can’t wait to do it again!  Thanks to Swirly and TYA for letting me Q Roller Coaster!
