An interesting set of circumstances resulted in the Run n Gun shovel flag landing in my lap. You can read about that HERE !

Thus a plan was hatched to do something a little different at Run n Gun. Earlier in the day I planted said flag far up along the Baxter trails, a little north of New Gray Rock Road. Hoping some Pax would take the bait, I posted a picture on Twitter of the flag with the caption “Come and get me”. Fast forward to 1815 at the Baxter Y and sure enough, we had a good showing. 9 Pax decided to go on the mission.

The Thang (Go find the flag and bring her home)

Depart the Y towards Market Street and head up to Alison Park. There we did a couple of laps hoping someone would see the decoy flag that Bolt planted. Not the sharpest bunch of Pax, so we entered the trails and began our trek. Let me tell you, there are some long steady hills on the trails. Needless to say, it wasn’t the easiest of trail runs even though Longshanks will tell you different. We ran a good 2.5+ miles to find the flag nestled just off the trail. Along this journey Cable Guy came down wrong on his foot and heard a pop! At the time of this writing he hasn’t gotten a diagnosis but we’re praying it’s nothing serious.

After grabbing the flag, we all headed as fast as we could back to the Y so I could get in the car and go retrieve Cable Guy. Tclaps to #HIM Longshanks for staying with him and walking alongside him until I arrived. We returned to the Y, waited a few moments for Longshanks to arrive with the flag and completed the workout like we always do. All said and done, we covered a little over 4.5 miles.
