20 with the one and only R.A.D. It was basically RAD. Got to her house about 8:30 and she and Craig (her hubby) were getting the kiddos off to school. Made me remember the days when my siblings and I would rush off to school in the morning. Her little guy Nathan was having a Birthday and they were enjoying some Kneaders sweet rolls. Kids left and we made our way (drove) 4 miles down and started our run. I mentioned the word "hills" when we were putting this run together and boy, did I get some hills thanks to Moody Running Club. I think we should name this run Hell's Hills, just sayin'. I didn't have a Garmin, so I was not keeping track of mileage. I would occasionally ask her where we were at and I was sorry for it. Phase 1: Climbed up to the top of Mountain Corridor? I forgot the name of that road, but it was a small mountain so we can call it that. Phase 2: Downhill and some rollers in there at the end. Phase 3: Up a canyon she called The Cove. Phase 4: Up some mountains and then some more mountains. Mile 10: Looked at the most amazing view ever! Mile 12: Rachel's hero friend whom was sent from heaven found us on the side of mountain and brought us some water. Evidently she lives on the mountain side and just happened to be going into town. God sent. Phase 5: Down some really steep passes with a couple of big climbs in there. Phase 6: Gradual downhill to her house. We were now at mile 16. She threw together a Birthday lunch for Nathan and Adam and we took a momentarily recess. Phase 7: Last 4 miles back down to the car! Phase 8: We went to 7-eleven and bought she Slurpees!!! Yum yum, they were the best ever. Dr Pepper slurpees to be exact. Recap: So much fun and such an AWESOME course! HOMM (a crazy marathon) will be held there for the craziest of the craziest. Rachel is planning to run that. Sad I will be back in Texas for that one. Beautiful weather, company, and again, so blessed that I can run. :) |
