The way of the Mega Miler!

This Sunday we were very excited to be taking our traveling sideshow out to Umstead Park for a trail run. I have always felt more at home on the dirt and roots and I was super excited about sharing that joy with Crystal, Amy, and Jamal.

Still, we could not take our first run at Umstead alone, so we decided to join in with some friends. We met up with Olivier, Ryan, Brian, Chris and Matt, each of which brought great enthusiam to the day. It made for a great time to be around all types of runners. Some running for fun, some training for ironmans, and some who have never run the trail before.

Sorry there are no picture or videos. The trail brought such a demand that I had no time for videos. Maybe it is time to purchase a head cam, then who knows what we will be capable of in documenting our runs!

I also think the bug might have bitten Amy while on our run today. She got back to the store with the urge to buy a trail shoe and now she is going to be the proud owner of the Brooks Cascadia. Watch out now!

I guess this will not be the last time the mega milers hit the trail!!!

Here is a pic that we took from the top Mt. Raleigh at Umstead Park...ok maybe not

Here is a picture of our view instead, still pretty exciting (is that a snake!!!)

We RUN then we IHOP!

No one said that all the Mega Milers are supposed to do is run. Crystal sure took that to heart we she gave birth to the idea that after our Sunday run we should grub it down, and we would do just that!




We set out on our new favorite, a 3 mile loop, and we decided to add an extra mile to the mix just to get our money's worth. While our feet said "KEEP RUNNING" and our stomach's said "FEED ME!!"


We missed Randy during the post run breakfast but he made sure he left his mark by setting the pace during our 4 miler.

So as we made our way to the "Flying Biscuit" only to find out the wait was to long for us to have time to eat and be at work. When all else fails one must look to the northern star, and it is behind that northern star that you see IHOP!!



What a great way to start a Sunday!! We are already looking forward to next week.

Kickin A with the A List!!
