Roamin’ Memories II

Returned from Rome last week and recounted a few stories to Stroganoff and Gastone as we ran the usual loop! 5 mi, 45 min, 9 min/mi.

Here’s the summary: Two of our students met the pope within 24 hours of our landing in Rome. Visited St. Peters, Assisi, Roman Forum, Vatican museums, the Pantheon, some monasteries, and lots of ice cream and coffee shops!

No, I didn’t workout once while in Rome. Too much smog, and we were walking at least 5 mi/day anyway!

Arrivederci!

20 Trains

We had 2 FNGs at The Storm on Tuesday.  One of the FNGs is a proud University of Alabama fan so he naturally was blessed with the F3 name War Eagle…the battle cry of Bama’s arch nemesis, Auburn (just ask Whoopee).  In conversation with War Eagle, I learned that he is training for the Spartan Super in Asheville on July 29th.  Since I’m also running this race, I thought I’d tailor the workout as preparation for The Super, an obstacle race that rewards failure with burpees….hence the title 20 Trains.  Sadly, War Eagle fartsacked & missed out on the opportunity.
