Yes to Running

Yes to Running

17 Pax arrived as mere mortals and were transformed into high performance running machines at this week’s installment of Mountain Goat.

The Thang

We ran. We ran at a tempo pace from SCMS to the Dunkin Donuts at Rea and Colony, regrouped at Rea and 51, then headed back to launch. Today’s goal was to find a pace that could be comfortably maintained for 4 to 5 miles. Runs of this nature help to increase endurance and build the physical and mental toughness needed to tackle longer runs.

Skinny Mole

• YHC was thrilled with the strong turnout and excellent performance of the group this morning. We had a few Pax who were semi-Kotters in addition to the MG regulars.
• Insomniac gets faster every week.
• Slice, I don’t know what you’ve been up to since BRR, but you’re a lean, mean, fighting machine.
• Kilowatt and YHC contemplated a coffee break at DD, but neither of us had any cash on hand.
• Sensei was on top of his game as usual, despite Slim Fast’s attempt to have them both run over by a car on Strawberry Lane. CAR BACK! CAR BACK!
• Kudos to Freedom and Gullah for strong efforts at their second consecutive MG posts.
• Loads of quality 2F this morning, I’m sure there were notable moments I missed. Don’t be afraid to share, we’re in the trust tree.
• Thanks to Slim Fast for the takeout on this beautiful Friday morning
