COT
Fast group today with shirtless Hairball, Swiper, Rachel, Nemo, Laronda, Joker, Lorax pushing the pace. May be missing names here as YHC was a ways back. Stone Cold, Semi, Margo, Utah pushing hard. Van Pelt crushing it in prep for 25 miles on the AT with his daughter. Enjoy the time and stay safe VP. The Providence Hill is a kick in the teeth. Raintree Lane with 140 merkins and 70 Jump Squats felt great. Kind of. Strong work today men. 5.4 on my watch. Hairball probably got closer to 7 as he modified from the Raintree Lane exercises to additional running. To each his own. Sometimes you have to get those miles. Good steady work today from Ironsides, Haze, Retread, and Pop Tart.

Laronda and Nemo torched the down slope of Providence. Only to get reeled in by Rachel on the uphill grind #veteranmove
Y’all whine about the humidity and slog around soaking lulu shirts for an hour. Swallow your pride and ditch the shirt. If gloss can do it, so can you.
Good thing Gummy wasn’t there this morning. The 1.0mile out of the gate at a spicy pace would have gotten some comments about how people don’t like you when you run fast.
Diabolical plan Mermaid. Despite your best efforts, the paws stayed clean today
Mermaid, there wasn’t no mosey-ing out there today! I was 10 seconds late to the workout and you guys were, well, 10 seconds into the workout and moving at a fast clip.
Haze – and Swiper – sorry for the air pollution, but it’s a gift I have… what can I say… just me being me.
I’m not sure if I’m ready for the whole shirtless running thing. Maybe at o-dark-thiry, but by 6:15AM it’s awful bright out there… and with all those run-for-your-lifers milling around the parking lot I might get a little self-conscious.
