Exercise Type: Run
Comments:
First Barstow run since the winter of '15. Second Barstow ever. I could feel the spirit of John L. Barstow, 39th Governor of Vermont, running alongside me. I flashback to the first Barstow...frigid temperatures, a wicked wind, and a grueling pace. Accompanied by only Mr. Hazelhurst, I struggled to fight on.
However, today was different. Basking in the South Burlington sun, I open my stride and gallop past Mr. Barstow. I outrun the wretched spirit who still haunts that run. The plateau takes many victims. But not today.
