OK… So I will only devote a small portion of the BB to lampooning TL for Qsacking today. Even the Run For Your Lifers commented on his absenteeism and said they would keep an eye out for him…. we were all very worried… no, really!! However, with no TL in sight at 5:15, for some unknown reason we mosey’d to the track, led by the Ghost of TL, and proceeded to do a warm-up mile at Fellowship Pace.
After the mile and 25 IW’s, it was clear TL had either been abducted or overslept, so instead of sending a search party, we decided to honor the memory of his last wish and known communication… that we do some speed work.
Group consensus was to do a simple ladder:
4×200 with recovery 200’s in between
2×400 with recovery 400’s in between
1×800 with recovery 800
2X400 with recovery 400’s in between
4×200 with recovery 200’s in between
Finished with some Mary:
LBC x 25
Dolly x 20
Protractor as emcee’d by Gummy
1 minute elbow plank
Done
Total miles 6-6.25 (depending on the extra 400 that some completed)
Moleskin
Everyone did great adjusting to a plan that was conceived 10 minutes AFTER the workout began! And quite honestly it is situations like this that unify the PAX, provide for a humorous story or two, and create ENDLESS FODDER for reminding TL for at least the next 6 months!
‘Bout Time and Mr. Brady were clearly unfazed by the intervals as they smoothly set the pace and never looked back… until they both didn’t realize that when you go UP the ladder, you then come back DOWN! So they completed an extra recovery 400 somewhere in the middle. Nonetheless, strong from both… ‘Bout Time is looking like a veteran! Always great to have you… BRR is definitely in your future!
Great to see Semi Gloss out this morning. No better place to be and I know you are giving it all you got… which is exactly what you SHOULD be doing!
Spackler did some encouragement running with SG, then played catch-up… Spackler always likes it when I takeover running with SG, or whoever the six is… so he can go catch everyone else… It’s a special moment that he looks forward to!
Hannibal, Gummy, Hopper and Horsehead were also giving it 100%! Nice job of blocking out the RFYL’s in the final laps!
Thanks Semi Gloss for the closing prayer.
