Mountain Goats are People Too!

8 PAX saved the best of their week for the last to explore this thing called “Moderate Running Workout”!  With a healthy and eager crew in place, we set off at 0515 to the South Charlotte Middle School track for something like this:

3/4 mile warm-up at fellowship pace around the track
5-10 minutes of stretching
Head to parking lot for toe walks, heel walks, high knees, butt kickers and Skips A and B (by far crowd pleasers).

Slow jog to Strawberry Ln and right to 2nd speed hump for main event… 30-30-1:

1.  Run 2-mi. race pace up Strawberry Ln towards school for :30 seconds.  When Slim Fast calls “time”, stop and slow jog/recovery back to speed hump.
2.  Rinse and repeat 2-mi. race pace for :30 seconds… slow jog/recovery back to speed hump.
3.  3rd time is same as 1-2 only for 1:00, with slow jog/recovery back to speed hump.

That is 1 round.  We did 4 rounds total.

After final/fourth round, slow jog/mosey back to cars for cool down and final stretching.

Done!  4.75 miles total!

Excellent, excellent, excellent job out there today!  I can’t say it enough!  Everyone pushed themselves individually, then supported each other collectively!

Fillmont and Pele… AWESOME to have you guys out there!  Many months ago you might have never expected to be doing speed interval training up a hill… but here you are… crushing it!  Can’t wait to see you guys continue to get stronger and stronger at running!

Steinbrenner and Simba… equally awesome to have both of you out there this morning!  Great job at pushing yourselves while dishing out the encouragement!

High Tide continues to get stronger at running… which continues to erase his 0.0 status!

Dolphin and Strange Brew provided the seniority and running experience!  Thanks for jumping in on stretching and technique!

Once again we missed Stumphugger.  He was/is instrumental in getting this workout off the ground.  He and I have been talking, and he reluctantly needs to take a more advisory role while he continues to rehab a nagging case of Plantar Fasciitis.  I know he’ll plug in when he can!  Strange Brew is going to step in to co-Q.

We have landed on a name for the site:  “Mountain Goat”.

I liked SH’s original name of “Endurance”, but unfortunately it is already taken by a 3rd F in Harrisburg.  So to avoid a feud, we decided to come up with a first alternate name, “Mountain Goat”.  It supports the “mountain theme” for A51 Moderate workouts, is descriptive of several of the PAX, and is aspirational from a BRR point of view.  We will get the tag setup and start posting to it ASAP.

Thanks to Dolphin for the send off prayer.
