It was a Wednesday night run with the Rim Runners and since we were at Pioneer Park and most of the easy streets in the area I’ve already run for this project, I mapped out a route to pick up some of the hilly streets above Rimrock Road. I’ve been doing these a little at a time because they make for a tough workout. They are steep and are dead ends so it’s up and back on each one. Shelley was the only one interested in the route so it was just the two of us as the other runners (I think there were 3) did the traditional (boring) route.
We knocked off the first two streets and on the third, Ronan, she texted her aunt who lives on that street and told her to look out the window. She was on the porch as we came down the hill and we stopped to chat for a moment but didn’t lose momentum.
When we got to the top of Upper Highwood, we saw there was an easement, probably covering the ditch that runs through there, that let us hop over to the next street without having to run up it. That’s not cheating! All I have to do is run the street once.
Here’s some photos from the outing.
And the stats:
