Mr. Brady and his bunch

Posted on behalf of Mr. Brady:

Nineteen of Area 51’s best showed up on a beautiful spring morning for a pleasant running workout.  It seems some doubted if the Q would show, but those doubters just don’t understand just-in-time delivery.

The Thang & Moleskine

We skipped the COP, did a short warm up of toe and heel steps followed by butt kickers, then moseyed down to Rosecliff for a brief dose of Mary (20 flutters, 20 heels-to-heaven).  I can’t really do a lot of Mary, so we stopped there and got back to running.  Haze mentioned he was upset we headed in this direction instead of taking a tour of the 70’s architectural Mecca of Raintree since my namesake did his best work in the 70’s.  Too bad he made his request on Twitter – and I don’t tweet.  Much like my namesake, I stay away from social media.

We moseyed on to Coburn Court for a little half pipe action.  Slim Fast Q’ed my first introduction to the half pipe.  Several people noted his absence.  Perhaps he will attend FT again soon.  Somebody let him know we miss him.  We did a triple pipe with exercises at the top of each side (high knees one side, Turkish getups on the other) and Sister Mary Margarets each time you came to the bottom.  I was planning on a day of nothing but merkins and burpees – also known as a “Headerfest” – but changed my mind when Frasier showed up one-armed.  Thank God for that.  I do burpees and merkins as well as I do Mary.  So we burned up our thighs in the half pipe instead.

Then it was on to Bevington Place for a quick-paced out and back.  Everyone ran at a hard clip in the direction of Rea Road until the first guy reached Rea and turned around.  Take a guess who got there first.  Then the whole Pax reversed back to the start when the first guy rolled back up to them.

From Bevington Place, the herd moseyed around to 51, did a few LBC’s, moseyed on to Davie Park (where I was overruled), moseyed back to the AO, and finally ended up on the track as dawn was breaking.  A fast lap sprinting the straight and recovering on the turns while the six came in. By then it was running late and the PAX made it clear the workout was over.

I fumbled the COT and goofed up recording the name game.  My sincerest apologies.  I humbly thank everyone for bearing with me on my first Q at Fast Twitch.
