Two minutes till 5 AM and only Happy and I are in the parking lot. Then Double E, Kiefer and Short Circuit all pull in together. We get enough time for Double E to tell us he broke his knee cap the night before playing basketball. Instead of sympathy, we feel hope. #restrictorplate #brotherhood
The Thang
Left on Lake Park Dr all the way down to Unionville-Indian Trail road for a little more than a half-mile warm-up run. Short Circuit comments that EE must not have been completely lying as SC and I were ahead of him.
Partner up by speed for Catch Me If You Can all the way down Lake Park Dr. Partner 1 runs while Partner 2 does 10 squats and then sprints to catch up to P1. Flapjack until you reach the end of Lake Park Dr. EE instructed to do 20 squats as I don’t believe his story on a hurt knee. He actually refuses and then runs with me most of the way. Maybe he wasn’t lying. Collect the six until all have reached the end of Lake Park Dr.
Mosey to the center of town for intervals. Instructions are: 1) Sprint down Creft Cir to Balsam St at a faster than normal pace. 2) Left on Balsam St and run Balsam St at your normal pace. 3) Left onto Creft Cir and sprint at a faster pace until Meeting St. 4) Left onto Meeting St and do a cool down pace.
Repeat the interval for 3 times. And then we discover that EE has managed to overcome his broken knee and has removed his restrictor plate. Pick up the 6 when done.
CMIYC for all of Creft Cir. EE and Kiefer doing half the Circle as EE needs to bail. SC and YHC going full circle. Happy was in taper mode as he has a 10K in New Orleans coming up. Gather back at Clock Tower when done.
From Clock Tower, sprint back to parking lot.

Thanks to Short Circuit for taking us out. Prayers for a safe Marathon for Crab Legs, Half for Mayday and 10K for Happy.

I got 5.8 miles for this one. Expected slightly less than 6 with the extended CMIYC stops along the way and we finished earlier than I thought.
EE was hurting to begin but I think we ran it out of him by the end.
Thanks to Short Circuit for the push.
Who was that breathing down my neck on the sprint to the parking lot? None other than Kiefer. Great push.
Happy came out to loosen up the legs before his 10K. Always great to have you out brother. Prayers for a safe 10K. Run hard, Run fast brother.
This #F3Gump seems like a thing. Some Site Qs are needed if we want to formalize.
Appreciate the hard work and good pace this morning.
