12 men and a Ghost Flag showed up to The Laugh Factory Train Station (Ed. Note: my early push for a nickname when this becomes official AO).
WARMUP:
- DCCS with focus on Safety:
- Headlamps required as we will be on main roads
- Run on same side of road as front guys
- Run with a partner/wingman
- Laugh often
- Quick circle around front of middle school
- Smattering of exercises (even a merkin)
- Knock Knock jokes
THANG:
- It’s Waxhaw Express . . . We run. Period!
- QIC would give a destination about .5-1 mile away
- Front PAX run to that spot and circle back for 6
- Repeat for 6-7 miles
KNEE-SLAPPING MOLESKINE:
- TRAIN SCHEDULE: This was billed as “10k prep for Makeshift Marathon at a slower pace”
- REALLY impressed to see 12 PAX with several Waxhaw Express newbies
- HIGH SPEED RAIL: Gerber and Tool Time were clearly on this train . . . Thanks for the pull all morning
- STEAM ENGINE: YHC was spewing his usual chatter
- LIGHT RAIL: Baio doesn’t seem to be fazed by any speed and just glides right behind the tracks of Gerber and TT
- ELECTRIC: Awesome Teamwork by Carb Load, Chicken Little, Sugar Daddy, and Premature training for their team relay together (Mad Dog is 5th teammate but traveling today)
- STREET CAR: These old worn down and tired looking units are generally the most reliable, especially on the hills of
San Francisco Lawson . . . Isn’t that right Dasher and Easy Button?
- FREIGHT TRAIN: This usually is Legal Zoom with those
clogs heavy sneakers but he has lightened up a bit
- MAINTENANCE: Foundation assumed this role nicely since his actual job is working on trains
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Prayers for Kelli, Premature’s M, who is seeking healing, guidance, and wisdom on next steps with her auto-immune disease
- Congrats and THANKS to Schneider for stepping up as the new Watchtower Site Q (replacing Smithers) . . . Bringing some much needed Respect to the Tuesday workout
CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO!
