Just Like Last Time
AYE. Look, it wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t fun. I didn’t tweet out the mileage beforehand. We didn’t do a warmup. Heck, I barely did the disclaimer. But it hurt…although not as much as last time.
THE THANG
Run to Old Course Drive and do 30 Burpees along the way
Mary while we wait for the 6 (we’ll get to that in a minute)
Partner up
20 Jump Squats at the valleys
10 Mighty Merkins each at the peaks
There are 14 peaks/valleys, so it was a lot of stuff
Mary while we wait for the 6
Run it all the way back and do 30 Burpees along the way
Mary while we wait for the 6
AYG 100ish yards to close it out
YE OLDE MOLESKINE
1. Extremely strong crew this morning. YHC had lots of potential workout options in mind but saw the makeup of the PAX and figured we’d take the road less traveled. Mileage was within reach for all (just under 4) but #smokebooters got lots of Mary while the 6s got a continuous grind. TClaps to all.
2. Speaking of speed, Larry Birds to Turkey Leg who posted for my #redpill Q at Matrix on Monday, led Fast Twitch yesterday (7.5+ miles) while YHC fartsacked and then posted for this one today. The dude is a monster of monsters, a beast of beasts, a gazelle of gazelles and a veritable leg of a turkey. I’m not sure how that last part fits in but whatever. He’s fast.
3. Thin Mint dispelled a long-held YHC notion that if I tweet that I have the Q, no one will show up because everyone is afraid of the Burp. Not only did Thin Mint post this morning and crush it, but he commented that his first post was our last visit to Piper Glen and that he posted to Anvil specifically because YHC had the Q. This warmed my heart, but next time we’re doing 200 burpees. I can’t have people saying stuff like that.
4. Icky Shuffle is a streak of lightning.
5. Iron Horse can hate all he wants but he has strong nostalgia for Piper Glen a) because he used to live there and b) because he loves those hills.
6. Scabby was late. This is not even worth mentioning, really, but my hope is that more public shaming will get him to workouts on time.
7. Alf kept complaining about all of his BRR injuries while he smoked YHC & Co.

McGee author
Legs are fresh from not actually running. And the workouts don’t hurt as bad as the rest of the day hobbling around. One of these days I’ll listen to the Doctor and rest. Or maybe just do what TL did and wrap a brace around it for a few months until it magically just gets better.
I was at the last one of these. And they both sucked. As soon as you called it I grimaced. What’s great about the F3 model is that you don’t get to choose your adventure but somehow it’s always what you need, even if you didn’t want it.
