To Haze, with love
21 men struck out for their Tuesday run around Raintree. 70 degrees and 100% humidity – fantastic conditions. Runstopper was the only one that realized wearing a shirt was basically pointless, so why do it? Just holds onto all that sweat.
With a busy week at work and little time to right this backblast, it was time to keep the weinke simple.
The Thang:
Head out of school and run to 4-mile creek with a stop on the way for some Imperial Walker’s for a warm up.
For the next ~32 minutes or so, run down 4-mile creek from Raintree Ln. At Whitethorn Ln do 20 flutters each leg. Run back to Raintree Ln and do 20 dollies. Repeat until 6:02. PAX got between 2 and 4 cycles in.
Mosey to bottom of Raintree. 2 line Indian Run up Raintree. All you got up the hill on Rounding Run and all you got the length of Woodfox to Strawberry Ln.
Somewhere between 5 and 7 miles for the PAX with most likely in the low 6’s.
Done.
Moleskine:
I hate that hill on 4-mile creek, but I know Haze hates it more. Only way to get better at it is to keep doing it. It sucks.
Tried to drive a workout where everyone could get out of it more than they wanted. I hope it worked for most, but I don’t think it’s possible to tire Fraiser out in just one hour. The dude spent most of the run up and down the solid double yellow lines, because not even the cars could catch him.
Solid effort by everyone out there, guys were really pushing up and down those hills. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
Thanks to Header for the send off.

I must admit that, at the four way stop of Raintree and Four Mile when you made your little announcement about what we were about to do for the next 30 minutes, my heart grew cold and I hated you in that moment. It’s a thought I regret now, after having read the title of your BB, knowing that you truly want the best for me.
Dreading it from my very first step leaving the Arbo parking lot, that hill has defeated me many times and I have a certain disdain for its existence. But I think I exorcised some demons this morning. We’ll find out Thursday night.
Great effort out there today boys! Mr. Brady had a fast pace despite a Muthership Monday. Turkey Leg and Alf were never too far behind.
Haze kept taunting me so I was running scared all morning afraid he may catch me.
Spackler declared “I’m out of shape”. That was the Wisconsin living talking. You are still the anchor for the BRR #FreeRange.
Geraldo was flying up the hill for that AYG. Easily a silver or bronze medal on that effort.
Great route that allowed us to encourage and chide one another. Big props to footer on a quick deposit. Header must have taught you well.
