What does that mean, in-famous?



What does that mean, in-famous?

13 more-than-famous guys showed up at the unusually barricaded and gated Latin parking lot this morning to see what I had in mind for a post-BRR Fast Twitch. I went with a workout that let guys run as fast or slow as they wanted for as long or as short as they wanted.

Based on the Mermaid-born staple at the old Fast Twitch launch site, I mapped out an aggressive (too aggressive?) route through Raintree to the Piper Glen Starbucks. Run as far as you care to in the first 30 minutes (or 28ish if you expect to be slower coming back), then reverse back to the launch parking lot. The route was Raintree to Rounding Run to Woodfox to Strawberry to Rosecliff to Brownes Pond to Coburn to Bevington.

Notes:
– It’s about 4 miles one-way, so the fastest guys out there may be able to make it all the way there and back. I don’t think anybody made it all the way down Bevington today. Astro, Rosie, Hollywood and Haze were out there, but it looks like they turned around on Bevington (I sure wasn’t there to see it myself). Rachel and Purell were gassed from BRR so they wisely took it as a recovery run. I think some of those guys could make it to Starbucks if they were fresh.
– I prepared turn-by-turn instructions to hand out to those who weren’t around for the old Fast Twitch site and didn’t know the mean streets of Raintree well. I don’t think anyone got lost, so, success!
– My turnaround point turned out to be the bottom of the nasty hill on Coburn. Awesome.
– Hopper said he’ll be at Fast Twitch from now on. Or maybe he said he hated me. I can’t remember.
– It was good to catch up with Joker on the way out. He drug me a little faster than I wanted to go on my own. I finally shook him when Haze ran by and he latched on to him instead.
– Hannibal and Retread did not hide their judgement when they passed after I turned around on Coburn. “You’re turning around already?” I got back at 6:12, so that’s good planning by me.
– Pop Tart stepped up to drag me back to Latin. He stayed just close enough that I wouldn’t let myself walk and lose him. I guess that’s the Iron Sharpening part they talk about. Thanks Pop Tart. Then he got lost going back through campus, so he should’ve waited for me.
– Updated to include Tolkien after he called me out. I remember him running by and saying something encouraging at one point, so I know he was there.

I said neither. I did, however, tell you last weekend during our BRR retirement celebration that I had not run 6 miles without stopping since the last BRR. I broke that streak today……which is not a bad thing. So, I said neither……I do not hate you…..nor will I be going to Fast Twitch from now on!
