P200 training has now moved into its 3rd week and YHC’s training plan for the #morecowbell9 called for us to step up our mid-week runs to a 6 miler at tempo. Of course this was without acknowledging the F3 Christmas party Tuesday evening (or my own office Christmas party) so tempo may have been a stretch. Either way the Pax responded well and pushed their normal mid-week limits.
Conditions: 48 degrees and clear

Moleskin:
This was an honest route, enough hills to challenge the pax but not so many that they were cussing YHC upon return. The mile long downhill finish on Trenholm has a way of making the pax forget the other 5 miles of pain. Times looked good for everyone, YHC averaged 7:48 with Garnish close behind. McLovin and Lincoln Logs looked to average around 8:05 over this distance, good running by all!
