I did an awesome trail run today with 15 other Fathers, Mothers and Others from the Steeplechasers. We tackled the Catoctin Mountain blue trail, which is the same trail that the Catoctin 50K is run on. Hilly, rocky, and on this morning VERY muddy! It was a blast! Most of us did 10 miles (a few others did 13), then we had a huge cookout at one of the runners' house (Mike O'Grady's) which was on the mountain about 50 feet from the nearest trailhead. What an awesome place to live! My wife and daughters came up for the cookout (brats, burgers, pasta salid, fruit salad, sweets, and plenty of beverages) and then we went on a short hike with all the kids to a nearby pond where the littlest ones got a kick out of tossing rocks into the water. Great morning, great run, great company, great food! It just doesn't get any better than this!
Happy Father's Day, my fellow fathers!
