Disclaimer given

Leave AO & turn left onto Trade St.  Follow Trade across new bridge & regroup on the other side.

YHC explained that the workout consisted of timed hill repeats until 6:05, and then we’d head back.

Run up the hill towards Squirrel Lake Park for 2 min and recover back down to the bridge.  Repeat until 6:05.

The Mole Skinny

8/10 Pax were thinking “Safety First” and wore reflective gear and/or headlamps. 

I’m sure somewhere on some obscure marathon training plan, it was either Hill Repeats or Timed Intervals Day. The guys who showed this AM are some of the toughest MF’ers out there.  There’s nothing we can throw at them that will knock them off their game.  We’ve tried The Board of Suck, tires, hill repeats, track intervals and even timed hill repeats.   

We should feel honored to be the first people in all of Matthews to travel across the “new” bridge on Pleasant Plains.  Just minutes after our workout ended, the barrels were moved and the “new” bridge was open to traffic.

I don’t know how many of the PAX listed above are training for Fall marathons (full or half), but they should be.  They are solid, strong & fast runners, and it was an honor to lead.

No tires were injured in the making of this workout
