Pipeline double with Neasts, Craig, MattW, MVH, Je10, Leslie, JimmySg and Zac.

We started at the Birch Hollow trailhead in Millcreek Canyon at 4:30 AM this morning. I set my alarm for 3:20, but I woke up about 10 minutes before, so I just got up and got ready. I only got 3 hours of sleep and although I felt great at the time I am dragging big time now 12 hours later. Caffeine!

I was the first person at the trailhead and after 10 minutes everyone but Zac was there and we were off. We waited close to 10 minutes for Zac and he eventually caught up to us just before the turnaround. We did an out and back to the view point twice. It was a ton of fun and I think I spent some time chatting with just about everyone at some point during the day. The temps were perfect, I really love this trail and I totally enjoyed the morning. I got back to the car about 15 minutes later than I had hoped for after lap two, so it was a quick drive to the office, with a Nalgene bottle shower mixed-in in a random parking lot, threw on the suit and tie and made it almost in time. :)

Attach a musical instrument to each of us and that could be our bluegrass band photo.

I get the banjo

Good to see you out there moving like there was never an ITB problem. Is that thing banished for good? Such an enjoyable morning all the way around, but I also had to resort to caffeine in the afternoon just to get by.

Dibs on the mandolin for me.

Nice.. looks like you are rolling off the miles this year!

From Neasts on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:07:20 from 75.169.56.70

Nevermind...looks like I got the oversized fiddle.

What is that string instrument called that you put in your mouth? I think they used one on the Dukes of Hazzard to bellow out the twang. I'll take one of those. Nice pic on your page Neasts. :)

From Scott Wesemann on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:22:41 from 66.232.64.4

Oh and yes it seems like the ITB issue is gone. I didn't have any pain or soreness yesterday.

From Ericka on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:28:10 from 67.186.218.23

Gorgeous! Sounds like a fun run.

From JD on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:56:21 from 70.96.78.188

thanks for the vicarious fun - you all really know how to do it up right. this totally looks like a band photo.

From Lulu Walls on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 15:00:11 from 155.100.212.147

Sweet run! How do you do the no sleep thing? Doesn't it catch up with you? I am just jealous!

Oh and jaw harp!

Jaw harp. Haha.
