A Fort Collins Chubby Cheecks

Now that was fun!


Awesome job by Mr Clark and his family for hosting such a great gathering.  I started with the 7am grouping not knowing how far I'd run or with who I'd run with.  Thankfully there were a handful of familiar faces at the start and I figured I'd go as far as they did.  Which was the whole distance.  Just a great day out  with some great folks and luckily got the run in before the horrible weather literally blew in later that afternoon.

Stats read 6 hours 5 mins of running (which sounds about right) and just over 8,000 feet of climbing (which might be overstated a tad).

While on the top of Horsetooth Rock, a conversation was had of how difficult it was to make it into work at 8am, yet here we were drinking a PBR on top of a mountain at 7:55am.


Down the hill and back up then down again and up once again and we're on top of Arthur's Rock splitting another PBR.

Another pit stop for pretzel's and beer at the Arthur's trail head and we were left with one last climb.  Overall I felt great on the day with the week coming in at 70 miles on 5 runs.  The most weekly miles since early August and easily the best I've felt since late July.
