Notes
Met up with Val and Mindy doing an epic 50k in cool, overcast conditions. We caught up while exploring the vast trails of the brad. On our tour we cruised through an interesting parcel of land with stone structures, alters, expensive bird houses, pools, and gardens, all fused with a rich, energetic atmosphere. At one point we talked about animals and what we'd most like to be. It was during this conversation I got Sinatra in my head:
After hanging with the ladies for a bit I headed out for some sort of hills or something. I really wasn't sure, and definitely was not feeling any of the energetic atmosphere leftover from the commune. However during a sluggish ascent of Lunch Break I heard Mindy and Val headed down the trail, and it was too good an opportunity to pass up. So I hid behind a rock and proceeded to ambush them as they went by. It was good to get some juices flowing and great to see the looks of surprise on their faces.
All said and done back at the car I ran in to Xar who was doing a few laps around the field to keep warm before joining the two bad-asses for the tail end of their run. We chatted a bit about her possibly entering the Barkley next year what her training would look like. It's gonna be a good year for her!
