BRR Training has Begun

19 souls decided it was time to get in gear for BRR training this AM.  The air was soupy and the hills steep as ever in Piper Glen this morning, but that did not stop the PAX from pushing it to the next level.

The route was the typical Piper Glen hill route with 4 and 6 mile options.  (3) chose the 4-mile option to ease into the DT scene (Spackler, Semi-Gloss, Radar), (2) chose an unintended/unsanctioned route of around 5.3 miles due to missing an arrow (Dolphin, Frehley’s Comet), and the remaining 14 took the red pill logging between 6 and 7.25 miles.

It looked like good groups formed so that 2nd F could help overcome the pain of the hills.  Outback and Mr. Bean showed around site-FNG Rock City around the AO.  The already mentioned Dolphin and Frehley’s Comet ran together and got lost together.

Brisket, Sanka, and Prohibition were observed taking in a little extra hills at the end by reversing the Old Course loop.  Nice push!

Horsehead was back after overcoming some knee issues with a new uptempo stride and some new kicks.  That 180 bpm techno music must work wonders.  Next time bring a boom box and we can all enjoy some boom-cha-boom-cha-boom-cha-boom.

Unfortunately, one downside of this workout format, YHC was not able to observe all the random occurrences that happened out there today.  Sound off in the comments to share.

 

Announcements:

– #GhostRunner happening tonight at ABC Arboretum 7:30 start (4 and 6 mile options)

– F3 Dads this Saturday at Francis Beaty Park at 9:00

– July 25 – Dredd and OBT coming to Stonehenge

I chose the four mile option this morning as well…although, to my credit, it was after logging some miles running into the workout from home.

Turkeys have strong legs and are very hard to chase or keep up with. Thanks for pushing me, TL. YHC will probably not take that one on for a while. Turkeys also do not like to get passed by Scottish Stone Masons/former boxers either. In fact it makes them mad and then they give chase. #respectturkeys

Honey bee I’m not sure about red pill honor if you ran an extra .2 miles.

It was good see 1/3 of #FreeRange out there. We have a little work to do.

Now I feel kind of worthless. You are not a very good therapist Frasier.
