Brakeman’s Coffee & Supply

Brakeman’s Coffee & Supply

6 PAX, posted on a frigid Thursday morning to partake in another addition of Peak 51. With the disclaimer understood, we were off…

Warm up indian run around the track a couple of times and to the school parking lot for COP

SSH (Side Straddle Hop) x 23

The Thang:

12 Sets of 50-yard wind sprints. Called exercise after each 50 yard sprint.

Then run over to the school wall for some chair and overhead presses. In between three rounds of chair we did two rounds of Planker’s Delight – PAX planked shoulder to shoulder, one person went down the line doing two hand slap merkins with each man.

Then back to the track… 6 loops around the track with 10 LBCs at each corner. Sprint the straightaways… Recover in the end zones.

At 6:11 am we ran back to our automobiles. We drove to Brakeman’s Coffee & Supply. We did 20 merkins and finished up right at 6:15. Brakeman’s had our coffees ready and sitting on the counter for us when we walked in.

 The official mileage came in at 3 (pre-run) + 2.20 = 5.20.

The Moleskin:

Excellent effort by everybody today. It was cold but we kept moving. Great group of guys this morning. This best kind of camaraderie… Some of my absolute favorites.

Slim Fast and Tweetsie were out front the entire workout… For the most part we stuck together. No real six today. Nomad and especially Lois kept us current with everything going on in the sports world. I could tell as soon as I made eye contact with Lois (as he was proudly wearing his South Carolina sweatshirt so proudly) in the freezing cold that he was just waiting for the right opportunity to remind me of the Carolina vs FSU outcome last night. If hurting me, helps you, I’ll take it. It was a nice treat to have Lorenzo with us… Home from flight school and got his F3 fix in. Love it. Super guy!

Getting up to workout in the freezing cold isn’t so bad when you enjoy and love the company you workout with. The most painful part of this morning’s workout was lots of smiling. My big bugs bunny front teeth were freezing… Hard to keep them covered up. Slim Fast, Lois, Tweetsie, Nomad and Lorenzo… It was a treat to start my day with you guys. I am both thankful and grateful to know these guys. It was an honor to workout with two veterans (Lorenzo and Nomad).

Tweetsie… Thank you for taking us out. Well done!

Sensei… You were missed. We wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you, Lois and Sensei, for the opportunity to call the shots. It was fun!
