The Misadventures of Madison Ave

Gotta love a crisp autumn morning and the old guy leading the way. After a bit of mumble chatter the PAX was off to the Matthews Library.

The Thang:

Shockingly the library was closed, so I suppose all you can do is run around it 3 times while doing a few Merkins and LBC’s.

Now lets take off to Crestdale Middle… what’s that Madison? You need to check out the construction site? Oh, Porta John!! Well meet us at 51 or Crestdale.

The PAX made it to the school and ran through suicides with 10 LSS at each line and 10 Dry Docks at the start.

Back to Hwy 51 and 10 diamond merkins when we see Madison… we never did those merkins.

Partner up at Jekyll and Hyde: one partner does LBC’s while the other does a backward run to the top of the hill… repeato.

Back to the libary: Pack runs to the back of the linrar, 10 diamond merkins then run to the Beer Temple for 10 flutters… Repeato.

Back the Matthews Middle for a total of 4.75 miles and Mary with Area51.

Moleskin:

Great work by all and some strong runners today. After a disappearance of a particular PAX, we learned a great deal about Gypsy’s mountain habitat and guests warming the seat!?!?

Enjoyed meeting a fellow App State Mountaineer… but not enjoying watching my boys lay and egg right now against Ga. Southern.

An honor to lead this group today!!

 

Post Hurricane Beatdown

The crisp fall air finally arrived and the hot air  from Glass Joe was punishing poor Double E for an early run… thanks for taking one for the team E2!! This was the start of a perfect morning according to Hoffa!!

Off we go for a Hair Band mile into COP

Whats that noise and why is Hoffa cursing again? Oh, Glass Joe and Double E decided to join us after “running” in the dark behind the schoolhouse?

Mary: 25 Dolly’s/a bunch of back scratchers/uphill and downhill Freddy Mercury’s followed by a Superman/Banana with a contest to see who could give us a better countdown – Tar Heels (Kilt) or Wolfpackers (GJ and Double E)… naturally the Tar Heel won!!

Mokeskin:

An honor to lead a great group of dudes… Woody, Shepherd and Hoffa continue to show how Respects can still kick butt!!

Kotters to the Kilt and glad he didn’t pass out or merlot on anyone’s shoes.

Appreciated GJ and EE for gracing with there beings during Mary.

Crypto, thanks for taking us out.
