Audible to run for the hills and keep the mumble chatter low

Audible to run for the hills and keep the mumble chatter low

POSTED FOR THE MOUTH… Copy and Pasted

11 Men showed up to BaseCamp this week… Q woke up to pouring rain and had to make a decision to continue with the football field “crawling” winkie or pull a quick audible to keep the Pax, and more importantly the Q out of the mud.  Since I occasionally give the Q a hard time trying to add fun to our morning rituals, I was expecting a lot of mumble chatter from the Pax this AM.  So the game plan was to take off quick and worked hard to keep that noise at a minimum.  #Shock&Awe

The Thang:

• Left SCMS 1 minute late as the last of the Pax was rolling in dropped in the disclaimer during the  mosey out of the parking lot
• Headed up Woodfox into raintree with a warm-up pace, at this point a few of the Pax complained that this wasn’t Mountain Goat…  So I promised some burpees so they would know I didn’t forget what a bootcamp was.  Seemed only right with #OverDoBurpeesOct in effect
• Left onto Rounding Run and slowed for toe and heel walks before hitting Rising Meadow
• Rising Meadow hill for running 7s with Squats at the bottom and Burpees at the top
• Realized the Pax, was awful quite at this point.  I did get some complaints when I called elbow planks as we waited for the six to wrap-up.  #U2ShouldHaveWornSleevesSuckers
• Time to find a bigger hill, as we took off to find Windbluff
• Stopped for a few planks to keep the Pax together (it is basecamp) and found the bottom of Windbluff
• Time to run 7s on Windbluff, Jump-squats at the bottom and LBCs up top
• At this point there was 1 or 2 comments about the BRR being over, but it was once again quite on the hill
• The Pax completed the hill and we began our run back to SCMS with some planking along the way ensuring we finished as a group #TWSS
• One last call for a backwards run up the Woodfox hill back to SCMS, as the Q planned to do that on Rising Meadow, but 45 min bootcamp goes a lot quicker than a 60 min weekend or running Q
• 3.4 miles in the books boys

Moleskine:

It was noticeably a little lighter in the attendance this AM… not sure who saw the rain and decided to stay home…  but you know who you are!  The rain stopped right as we arrived at SCMS and didn’t return before we parted for the day. #BlessedWeAre

The Pax was working hard this AM, not sure what they expected… but I hope they got their money’s worth!  Purell was leading the Pax as normal, he seems to be the extra strength version of that germ free solution.  Great to see BOG out more often and his continued strong recovery.  Benny remained upright for all his running this day and took a spot up front intermittently (#SpeedKills it’s a 45 min workout #PacingWinsEveryTime).  Lois, Drano, Tweetsie, and Retread were strong as always #MountainGoatFridayCrew – it Works, you should be there.  Fireman Ed is recovering from a “broken wheel”, but him and Smash adjusted the mileage as need and still kept the HR up.  Strong work… hope you are 100% soon. Thunder Road was crushing the hills…  Not sure if he has the old Thunder Road ½ on his radar next month, but he should.

Thanks to Smash for taking us out, and to the fine group of men who let me lead them this AM.
