Swift Progression of Pain
We ran, ran, and ran some more.
The Thang:
Run to the bull ring for a dynamic warm up. Honey Bee demonstrated excellent form on the skipping. He must have been practicing.
By the end of the warm-up, we found ourselves at the bottom of the hill sometimes known as Dunreggan Brae.
Then it began: 2 minutes hard run, 1 minute rest. 1 minute hard run, 30 second rest. 30 second hard run, 30 second rest. We continued this for what seemed like a long time. Managed to stay true to the break periods – no mercy was shown. Also made sure that every run period included as much of the Brae as possible.
Ye Olde Moleskin:
Strong performances from all. The breaks were short and it took a lot to power through them.
Honey Bee led the pax pretty consistently, except when Mr. Bean, and occasionally Abacus were nipping on his heels.
We missed Bratwurst’s scientific approach and his hi-tech watch.
Thanks for letting me lead. Bring it again next week!

This was one tough workout. Those hills over and over and over crushed me. The humidity didn’t help either. It was exactly what I needed for BRR training.
A few observations, Mr. Bean is getting crazy fast, Tootie seemed to get much faster as the workout went on and has anyone seen Frehley’s Comet?
Everyone should run the half marathon night trail run with us on 6/19. Run starts at 8pm, bring a headlamp.
