· With BRR a week away, YHC planned a running heavy workout for the PAX. I mainly wanted for everyone to keep their legs loose and most importantly, not get hurt. The plan was simple.
· And then the weather forecast came out which called for heavy rain this morning. I had a Plan B, but fortunately all we got were sprinkles of varying levels so we were fine to stick with Plan A.
· After giving a heart felt disclaimer, impressing upon the PAX that if any of them got hurt during my workout Slim Fast would surely leave me on the side of a mountain somewhere next weekend, we took off for the following.
Mosey around the front of FBCM to the parking lot across Sadie for COP
SSH x 20
Burpees x 5 OYO
IW x 20

Round 2:

This is a Peak staple of late, though I skipped the partner called exercise and we all just ran. Only time for one (I did not hear any complaints).
5 minutes left so we went back to the launch point for some Yoga stretching.
Moleskin:
· It has been a while since I Q’d, but I had this one in my back pocket for BRR tapering. Given the wet, but not complete washout conditions, I think everyone appreciated staying on their feet as much as we did. It was a little more running than we normally get at Peak, but everyone kept up, even the guys who are not running BRR with us next week. Rest assured Slim Fast took note of this and will be signing each of you up for a team next year. We got in a little over 2 miles.
· Thanks to Slim Fast, Early Bird, Nomad, Geraldo and Tweetsie for the company during the pre-run. Though every time we have “pre-run” with Geraldo lately he has left us in the dust. Me thinks he is BRR ready.
· The rest of the crew I see at Peak and Mountain Goat every week, so I know they are BRR ready.
