Maybe it was his weekend to babysit?

Done with my 7-day elevation challenge! Overall, over 3000' climbed and 24 miles run!

that would be insane. and also frowned upon within the dept, I'm sure because it would ruin the gear which ain't cheapPerhaps. Or full firefighter gear would also be impressive.

That's awesome! I did the Trifecta back in 2014. It was definitely one of the things I'm most proud of having ever done, but I haven't yet felt the need to ever do it again.
What length did you sign up for? If I were to do another, it would preferably be of the Super length. I'm tempted to do the Sprints (particularly the ones held in baseball parks, for the novelty), but it's physically tough to do so many obstacles over such a relatively long distance. Meanwhile, the Beast took me literally over 8 hours to complete. The Super is the right mix for me!
Then again, what good are they if they are not physically challenging? Ha!

Good luck! Let me know if you survive the rope climb. I was only able to do it once. I forget which distance it was on.

Got in a run yesterday while the air quality was a little better around these parts... But I still think the air was affecting me. I have a Pumpkin Run 10k with the fiance this Sunday, luckily it'll be further south on the coast here, so here's hoping the effects won't be as bad.
In more fun news... The prize is a pumpkin!

I bought a pair of Hooka shoes for when I have to run on pavement, these things are comfy!
Anyone use them? The running store guy told me the only bad things he has heard is that they are maybe only good for 200 miles and after that the arch supports and cushion drops steadily to zero?

Firstly, Hooka makes me think you're trying to say hooker... Or hookah. Haha! They're Hoka, but I imagine that was just a typo.
I've never actually bought a pair, but have tried them on in the store. They were comfy, but just too darned weird feeling in terms of how they made my feet take the actual steps for me to actually want to invest. I'm a human; I'm averse to change.
That being said, I've heard the same thing about the low mileage. You'll have to report back on how that goes!
I'm looking at the new Brooks PureCadence shoes as possible holiday presents this year. I love, love, love those shoes. My current ones are starting to feel a little worn out, but I can probably make it another two months in them.
