WARMUP:  I’m pretty sure 3 out of 4 of the PAX came in HOT today…so clearly no need to warm up. Headlamps on! Let’s roll!!
THE THANG: Launched from ASC Greenway Horse Barns toward “No Name” trail. Stumbled upon a [probably not] wild horse. Alright… it was a horse (yes, a ginormous horse) just strolling around in the dark looking for snacks (we presumed). Since we had CC ( 🐕 ) with us, we opted to turn back and head out another way. The course was 5 miles-ish+ total. We ran to the top of Cantrell, onto Muscadine to Wagon Loop, up and over the Wagon Loop hill (renamed “Opportunity” because it gives you the opportunity to run up the “beast of a hill” from the swinging bridge to the Canteen) to Blue Star, around the lake to Timberline and back up to the peach orchards and the on to the horse barns.

So, to the title of the workout…While running up timberline we (possibly just me) saw what appeared to be a grey wolf dart across the trail about 20 yds ahead of us (yes, grey wolves apparently don’t live here) or maybe it was a large coyote (more than likely not a mountain lion – they apparently don’t live here either, but…a story for another time). No one was eaten and our pace mysteriously accelerated for the last portion up the hill, so there was that!!

MARY: This is a running Workout – we’re lucky to just survive that!
