3 men gathered for a Wednesday evening hill run. The Thang: Hillcrest loop x6. NMM: The weather was amazing. The past few weeks have been a scorcher. Mid 90’s and 75%+ humidity.

This made for a much easier and quicker run than the past several. Additionally, rather than being totally exhausted after the run, we were feeling good with extra energy to give if needed. Honeydo slayed the hills today, he did…
