Stopping by Woods on a Leafless Afternoon

October 29, 2018 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Went tromping through the woods with a merry band of adventurers! Best run in a long time. Listen to my rhyme...

We set out on our quest
through the Northwest
hoping to capture some leaves
Alas we discovered
(though much ground we covered)
the foliage stuck to the trees

There was Ana(-Sophia)
Lucy and Amelia
and a couple of canine companions
In the leaf-catching grounds
With no leaves to be found
Our team teammates we choose to abandon

So off down a trail
We did merely sail
leaving the pavement behind us
Where nothing was heard
but the calls of the blackbirds
and the occasional trail mark to guide us

But soon we emerged
Where two paths converged
We recognized one to be Glover
So upstream we ran
with no goal or plan
not wanting the run to be over

At the third intersection
This cross country session
turned uphill on New Mexico ave
though the hill was pain
and our calves did complain
Matt swore its the best run he'd had
