Did Check 2 with a little bit of extra. Pretty good run. Here's how it went down...

Started my adventure on Red Land Senior High School property, exited the homelands in search of a good run, and headed into the development of old people(take a right at the 4-way from fishing creek road). Turned right on hillcrest, then met with the first of many hills. The battle was quickly over, and i continued on my merry way down the nice recovery hill. It wasn't too long before the second wave hit me, the challenging hill known as Poop Loop Hill(or at least I know it as) was a more difficult adversary, but knowing its weakness'(knee drive and body lean) I was able to overcome the hill without much difficulty. I then enjoyed the sweet desserts of my recovery down the hill, and turned left onto possibly the most challenging hill of the run. I repeated my actions of Poop Loop Hill, but I soon realized that this would not be enough. I knew I needed something, and that something was a quick turnover. I begin to move with lightning quick legs and soon the mountainous hill was defeated. I celebrated with a well deserved stretching at the intersection before turning right down big spring road. As i stretched, I had a lovely conversation with local chemistry teacher Mrs. Becker. We discussed the Chem AP summer work, and she mentioned that she has yet to grade the summer work, and that I have "the chem jeans". Whatever they are. I don't think I own any jeans with the word chem on them, but I'm gonna take a second look. I continued on my exploration and saw the very attractive Emma Rothermel in her SUV vechicle. She waved to me(which made me feel special) and I waved back. By now I was beginning to feel the effects of the Double Quarter Pounder from McDonalds. I knew I needed to make a pit stop soon, or poo was about to get real. But I pushed on, and passed over Butler's territory. I then entered the lair of Woodbridge farms, in an attempt to maybe see a former teacher or two, I pushed up yet another hill, although very minor. I failed in this attempt, and made an illegal U-turn on the sidewalk. Proceeding to head back my previous trail, i embarked on a left turn, and made my will into the heart of the Farms. I soon made a right, and pushed down this hill. I needed to stop soon, or i would be in serious doo-doo(no pun intended here). I stopped at the porta-potty, or as I would like to mention, a sauna. That thing cooked me like a lobster at a fine seafood restaurant. As I sat there pondering about many a thing(mostly Emma Rothermel) I took note to a bee. And this was no ordinary bee either, it was black and yellow, with several antennae. I became very hesitant in my dumping, and made very precautious moves not to disturb this savy beast. I quickly made my exit from the sauna, and proceeded on my way, without a scratch or puncture wound. I turned right onto valley instead of proceeding straight and continuing with potts hill. I originally planning a mega run today, but my daylight was burning quickly and I needed to get home. I pushed past Salem church, and back onto the old trail. I began my preparations for what I viewed as the most difficult part of this challenge. I needed all of my strength and courage to get up this final beast. And it would take all of me with it. As i started, i repeated my previous techniques, but soon learned that it was no where near enough. I then noticed to my right, a familar comrade known as Greg Gillispie was there, almost as if fate had put him there. I gave him a thumbs up, and he took off, and I found my much needed motivation and finished off the fiend of Hess Hill. I then took the rest of the way easy, to finish a cool down. Good day, and an epic run.
