2017-07-04 - Barry Belvedere Hillwork

 

~8.4 miles @ ~13.4 min/mi

"No puking, Leftenant Smythe!" Barry has just finished running four repeats up the median of Belvedere Blvd, a relentless climb that brings to mind Maryland Heights treks-of-legend by Dr Stephanie. Well, admittedly this is 60' instead of 1200' elevation gain, a 1/20th scale model — close enough, eh?!

We warm up by meandering around the 'hood, reminiscing about songs by Eric Burdon and the Animals. A fleet chipmunk scampers across Woodman Av. Rabbit count = 4, plus one more that Barry spies in his front yard flower bed after the run.
