Facing some ups-and-downs in downtown WS…

PAX: Woodpecker; Burlap; Winklevoss; Mongoose; JuiceBox; Wham-O (WB); Airbag; Sweet Tea; 5-Dollar Footlong; BooBoo; Bout Time; Mutton; Dr. Root/Toot Canal (WD); Lemming; Van Pelt; Zuck (QIC)

16 pax traversed the up-and-downs of downtown Winston-Salem this morning – both #OGs and #Tractors.

The plan was for a ‘flatter’ route, but YHC realized that running up-and-down the streets of downtown comes with running up-and-down the hills at the end of each road.  So, that part of the plan wasn’t really ‘as expected’.  That said, the other goal was for a nice downtown route – and that, I believe, was accomplished.  Not to mention, YHC ordered up some IDEAL running temps for the pax.  You’re welcome.

Here are the ROUTES

 

NMM

  • Saw the #UrbanAssault guys getting after it… AYE!!!
  • I think everyone was thankful for this morning’s temps.
  • I don’t think everyone was so thankful for the surprisingly consistent rolling hills.
  • Personally, I enjoy the occasional downtown run… it’s a cool place to be in the pre-0600 time.
  • Not sure if @JuiceBox Omaha’d and ran on Second Street?  To be fair, you technically run on it when you cross it.
  • YHC never saw @Lemming or @VanPelt – but someone vouched for them, so I’ll believe they were there.
  • Thanks for the keys, @BooBoo!

Praise and Prayers lifted up to Him… who can handle them a lot better than we can.
