The Beast

The Beast was back in its proper month; last year it was held in August (thanks, Squirrel, I couldn't figure out why no one wrote about it and why it was mysteriously missing from my garmin data).  Jim and Shauna host a great, if unusual, event.  I did as many laps as the winner, Double T, but did not drink the required beers.  I was happy with my speed.  After lots of LSD, it felt good to just let go a bit.  The laps were a mile long.  I got to run a couple of laps with Kip and Jet.  Man!  Those are fast pups!  I shared a lap or two with the eventual winner, TT.  I kidded him it was his anniversary; last year's Beast was the first we knew that he was funny :)  I ran a lap with Ian, when he caught up with his dogs.  I shared the last of my laps with Blaine.  I hadn't run with him in a long time, certainly not since the birth of Lillian.  It was nice to catch up.

Post run, there was the usual great food and shenanigans.  TMs, gotta love 'em.

Oh, I got in seven miles, but forgot to stop my garmin so don't know my actual pace.
