Watch the miles tick by
5:13 AM came and 9 men emerged from their cars into the brisk morning air ready for a 4 to 6 mile run. YHC had contemplated heading to new ground, but decided that the tried and true path to S. Charlotte Middle was best with a 2 mile stint on the track to provide flexibility for the overall mileage.
At 5:16 AM with GPS watches locked in, we left the parking lot and didn’t look back. Everyone was instructed to run at their own pace and enjoy the run. That we did.
As usual, Frasier led the charge with Haggis, Fletch, and Turkey Leg hot on his trail. The pace on the last stretch was teasing a 6 min/mile pace. If that doesn’t put a burn in your lungs, I don’t know what will. Nice work!
Welcome to DT FNG’s Wing(space)man and Stump Hugger! Strong work out there brothers. Keep coming out!
Thanks all for posting today. It was a great run.

Aye! There is no way I would run that fast without you guys pushing/pulling (it’s too painful).
I enjoyed the silent 2ndF out there today. On the way back, I thought about saying something but then realized if I missed a breath, I would fade. You guys are beasts of nature.
Stump Hugger – Thanks for making it out! That is what DT is about. Everyone can do their own thing and get what they need. Keep coming out.
You will likely be in with the Smokeboots with times like that on a 5k. Good stuff. We have a broad section of runners at Devil’s Turn and try to stick with set ups where there are chances to regroup. We alternate between tempo, intervals, and some hill repeats depending on the week to keep things interesting.
We will look for you on the 13th!
