We are all Mud Run ready; or ready to run in mud

We are all Mud Run ready; or ready to run in mud

17 Ballantyne Suburbanites went into Saturday morning weak and soft; 17 heartbreakers and lifetakers came out of the woods ready to eat concertina wire and piss napalm. Woe is anyone who cuts in front of us in the line at Starbucks!

This is what we did:

Mosey to lot next to Hotel. ‘Good morning’ was ridiculed as too soft so YHC did his best drill sergeant impression until Fireman Ed reminded me that not everyone works out at 6am on Saturday. In a lowered voice; we called out cadence:

Warm Up:
– SSH x 25
– IW x 25
– Mtn. Climbers x 25

Get in teams of 4 – acknowledge that Cadre: Big Tuna was the inspiration and idea behind most of this. I am just here to look good and ride his coattails. …And follow him as I don’t know the way.

Mosey around Lock Ness:
– 20 Dips and mosey to grassy area
– 2 lines for over/under – twice through to make sure we are all now nice and wet and cold.

Mosey to small obstacle course:
– climb through low and high parallel bars.

Mosey up and around and up a hill. Cross over road to lower Lock Ness – climb over ~5 ft wall.

Mosey up Ballantyne Corp. Place over Hwy 521 bridge.
– Slalom trees all the way to Aloft.

Mosey up and around to arrive back at Ballantyne Commons Parkway. Attack the sleeping wimps that live in Ballantyne Country Club – off Lederer Drive. Cross over Community House to have fun in the woods.

Run/walk/survive the trial through the woods that will be future retail before anyone can blink. This part is fun – dark and spooky.

Hightail it back to The Vine as there is no time left. Partner carry part of the way.

Moleskin:
– As mentioned above – Big Tuna should take all the credit for this successful jaunt through the woods.
– 4.5 miles covered today at a high pace. Only ran over 5 minutes! You are all welcome.
– Tclaps for Peddles for keeping up and pushing hard. This was a hard workout and he kicked butt.
– Great to see Mic Check. Ole Dirty SOB’s will mollywhop your old team Dirty SOB’s in your honor. Yes that is a word, and yes that will happen. MT will be there taking pictures for all to see.
– Tclaps for Wingman for showing us all the ‘trail’ through the nice acreage of woods in development central. Enjoy it while it lasts as I expect to see it developed before too long.
– Is Run Stopper even human? Humans get tired; not sure Run Stopper does.
– Thank you for letting me lead. Special thanks for Tuna’s directional prowess and great ideas.
