That’s a Peach hon. Oh golly I’m hot today.

25 men gathered in a middle school parking lot at 5:15. I got a little heat for rolling in at 5:12 and walking right into the middle of a full circle. I know the code is for the Q to be the first one there, but I don’t think that applies for 5:15 workouts. And I was still 3 minutes earlier than I am on most Tuesdays. My pregame routine is very important and can’t be rushed. After a thorough disclaimer, including unwanted details about my aforementioned pregame routine, we headed out for an interval workout. Somebody tripped on the curbs in the parking lot, despite 17 guys yelling “curb” and the fact that those curbs haven’t moved in 5 years.

Warmup run to Davie. Imperial walkers.
AYG to Rea Rd. traffic light. Mary/merkin recovery, then easy jog to the library entrance.
AYG down the hill to the Bevington. This was a little dicey. Running up the hill doesn’t seem so bad, but downhill speed made it dicey. I think this is when Clubber hurt some lower extremity that caused him to limp the rest of the time (except, notably, during the sprints at the end when he seemed all better). Mary/merkin recovery.
Speed hump suicides up Bevington. AYG to hump #2, slow back to #1, AYG to #3, slow back to #2, etc. Ugh. Mary/merkin recovery. Slow mosey to the stop sign at the top of the Coburn half pipe.
Slow to the bottom of the hill, AYG back to the top, slow back down, AYG to the top on the other side (Brownes Pond). Mary/merkin recovery. Yog to Rosecliff with a surprise left turn to the bottom of the cul-de-sac.
AYG to the stop sign at Strawberry. Mary/merkin recovery.
More speed hump suicides to get back to the school. Mary/merkin recovery.
Jog into the parking lot for a few sprints, then done.

Other observations:
– Turkey Leg was killing it out there. And I don’t mean that he was running fast. Maybe skip the Mexican food next time.
– Semi thought it was the right day to unleash his fall wardrobe and showed up in a long sleeve shirt. It was off by the end of the warmup run.
– Swiper went the other way and didn’t bring a shirt at all. Hopefully he had one for the drive home. The wet seatbelt is no good when you get back in the car in your work clothes.
– I stole the Bevington suicides from Prohibition, but I went from Starbucks to Coburn instead of the other way around. Uphill. Mistake.
– Speaking of Prohibition, he posted at Swift this morning. We had 25 without him.
– I think I saw Hannibal die on the last run up to the school. Did anyone see him in COT?

Announcements
– Southern Discomfort is on 10/21. Should be fun. Buy Body Glide now.

The real question is did Purple Haze make it back by 6:15? Last time we did that workout, he limped in around 6:20 or so.

Turkey Leg must have had leftovers last night because he was “killing it” at Matrix yesterday, too. #F3TalentShow?
