It was soooooo EPIC….

It was soooooo EPIC….

…. it took a FULL WEEK to post the Back Blast!!!   Or I was too distracted to get it done… one of those!!

Anyway, 9 showed up for a promised Joe Davis Run Taper-Friendly Mountain Goat experience… and YHC did NOT bait and switch as some have egregiously accused him of with only minor anecdotal evidence… but I digress!

So basically, we proceeded to run 3.7 miles, including a couple of loops around Rounding Run, with stops at approximately .75-1.0 miles for stretching.

The idea was to keep it light, but also provide the chance to keep loose for the Joe Davis Run scheduled for the following day.

It was great to have Champagne join us… it has been a while since he was out.  He indicated he is starting to ramp up for BRR… which is what we all will be doing over the next several months.  Welcome… this will be the right place to do that!

Also great to have Huggy Bear back out!  We’ve missed you!!

Drano… solid as usual!

Now that we’ve run the Joe Davis, BEFORE the Back Blast, I can say that Early Bird, Retread, Lois, Tweetsie and Insomniac all did AWESOME in the race on Saturday!  Here are the results to prove it!

1. Early Bird – 5K 27:43
2. Retread – 10K 54:14
3. Lois – 5K 34:53
4. Tweetsie – 5K 32:22
5. Insomniac – 5K 31:06

Insomniac actually ran a 7.38K… he made the mistake of going on a short “warm-up” jog with YHC that ended up being identical to Spinal Tap trying to find the stage in Cleveland… “Hello, Cleveland!!”

Congrats to each of you guys, and the other Goats that got out and did something you might not have done in a while!  These might not be  your lifetime PB’s, but I venture to say they are your most recent PB’s… which is the right baseline to set!

Announcements:
1.  Talk to Slim Fast if you are ready to HC for 2nd Annual Mountain Goat BRR Experience… Imagine yourself, gliding through the mountains of NW North Carolina, gentle breeze in your hair… the warm kiss of mountain sunshine on your face… as you traverse the Blue Ridge Mountains… It too, is EPIC!!
