No Mud on the turf

No Mud on the turf

My body has been letting me know it’s not happy since I gave up MAF after Joe Davis and my calf/knee/plantar fascia had been RAGING since Thursday.  Lots of rest and rolling didn’t help too much to I inquired with Goonie/Drano to see if they wanted me to switch but they declined with Goonie mentioning there’s plenty we can do without running. I figured we could always to 45 minutes of yoga.

The Deal

Eight of us gathered at South Charlotte Middle, the muddiest AO in Area 51 immediately left campus moseying over to the daycare whilst Goonie retreated and gathered the two wheeling Floorslapper.  Once they joined we circled up for COP

Moseyed a bit more to the corner of 51 and Strawberry.  Directive given to head south to Davie park stopping at every other street light for 10 Carolina Dry Docks and the other street lights for 15 proper formed LBCs.  Regrouped at park entrance and Rapper’s Delight led plank-o-rama until the six arrived.  Goonie gave us a ten count and threw us a six inches for the final three.  Ouch.

Mosey to the glorious field turf and lined up on the Southern goalkeeper’s box(I’m not sure if that’s the proper term which is a same since i spend a great deal of time watching soccer) and count off in twos.

Ones 75% to the Northern goal line while twos do more CDDs.  Flapjack.  Repeato but this time with air squats.  Mosey to the halfway line and lunge walk to Eastern goal line.  Spring back.  Repeato.

Gather on Eastern touchline.  Run to corner flag, do 15 CDDs, run to next corner flag do 15 LSSs, run to next corner flag do 15 CDDs, run to next corner flag and 15 LSSs.  Plank at touchline until the Six arrive.

Mosey to park entrance, Run at your own pace back to the school.  We ended up getting 2.7 miles and my leg didn’t even bother me until the last .7 and I barely noticed thanks to good 2nd F with Jello.  Glad Goonie/Drano didn’t let me swap weeks.  We  finished up with about two minutes of stretching and recovered.

MOLESKINE:

It was really good to get back to Base Camp.  It was a regular stop for me for many months and today was a great reminder I should get back out there more regularly.  Rapper’s Delight wins the Good Form award for Lunge Walks. He should make a youtube video or something.  Drago learned the proper way to count to ten and Floorslapper thought I wouldn’t be able to figure out his name but he didn’t realize I grew up a Duke fan since my grandfather was a Duke Divinity grad. I’ve since seen the light and watch mainly NBA.   See ya’ll sooner than later.

Announcements:

Savage Run coming up later this year.  Check the interwebs/twitters/slack for more details.  Sounds like this is replacing the mud run as a CSAUP event this year.  I believe Icky Shuffle is our CSAUP Q. He’d likely know the details.
