Should We Stay Or Should We Go?

Should We Stay Or Should We Go?

One week after a Slimfast-led track beat down 21 pax showed up at Fast Twitch this morning – including several site FNGs. As more and more pax moseyed out of their cars I started to wonder if the previous week’s trip down to the track – long overdue to say the least – was actually a drawl. Maybe these guys are looking for 60 minutes of unmarked circular wind sprints? Maybe it’s the tomatoes? Maybe I should scrap my plan and just deal with Spackler’s ridicule?

Or…

The Thang

Lap around parking lot with some karaoke, forward jogging and backward jogging to loosen up. Turn right out of the parking lot on Strawberry Lane towards Rosecliff. “It’s not too late to turn around,” I thought, as Purple Haze reminded the group of a Tiger Rag juke a few months ago that ultimately led the pax back to the track for fast-paced repeats. We continued on to the entrance of Rosecliff and circled up for:

Disclaimer
SSH 25
Group run to bottom of Coburn, emphasis on “bottom.”

11’s from bottom of Coburn to the top. Deep squats at the bottom, knee tucks at the top. Silence ensued.

Plank

Mosey to corner of Coburn and Bevington

Partner up for Catch Me If You Can. Partner one runs while partner two does 10 walking lunges, then chases down partner one. Repeat for nearly a mile until we hit the corner of Rea and Bevington.

Plank

Mosey to Calvary Church, Entrance 4. Provide disclaimer that this particular area is infested with fire ants. Proceed to announce the Backwards Triple-Triple: One leg (right) squat at bottom of Entrance 4 hill, run up backwards, one leg squat (left) at top of hill, run down forward. Rinse and repeat two more times.

Line up for the longest Indian Run known to man. Not only is it more than 1.5 miles back to home base but there were also 21 pax. Twenty one fairly-winded pax.

Moleskin

Hopefully no one was too disappointed that we ventured out and didn’t see the track today. It is awesome that so many new guys are coming out to Fast Twitch each week. Keep coming. It’s a lot more fun to run hill repeats and do lunges in the middle of a neighborhood with a big group. I hope everybody felt like they got their money’s worth this morning. We covered nearly 5.7 miles – most of which was at a fast pace. Thanks to Mr Brady for the thoughtful send off and, as always, thanks to Turkey Leg and Haze for the opportunity to lead.
