16 for the main event and 8 for the pre-run on what started out as a pretty normal Monday morning – 40ish degrees in December, a plan to cover some ground with a few exercises thrown in, and Burt yelling my hospital name before we even left the parking lot.
But we eventually got into the Regency neighborhood where someone released their pair of attack dogs as we were doing hill repeats in front of their driveway. The creatures looked a lot like the one pictured here (I know, scary, right?). Burt Slack-trolled the Carolina fans by calling them “Wofford Terriers”, a reference to Wofford’s upset over #17 UNC just a day ago.
Fortunately all 16 of us survived the workout and made it back to the start. Here’s how it went down…
