Prohibition’s Pink Eye
20 gathered at SCMS for some more Fast Twitch on a perfect morning for running. No Prohibition…pink eye. No Heels…crying eyes.
The Thang
Mosey down Strawberry to Rosecliff entrance. Circle up for IWs x 20 IC and MCs x 20 IC.
Mosey into Rosecliff, left on Browne’s Pond, right onto Coburn and run to 3 way stop. Gather for instruction for today’s plan.
Jacob’s ladder from 3 way stop sign back up to stop sign at Coburn and Browne’s Pond. This sucked.
After we were done, gather back at 3 way stop. Run to stop sign at Cary Ridge. Stop for plankorama. Run to 51. Stop for LBCs x 15 IC. AYG to Davie Park. Stop for Flutters x 15 IC. Mosey back to base.
Total miles: ~ 6.5
Moleskine
Prohibition texted me late yesterday letting me know he had pink eye. Claimed he could wear swim goggles and still lead…but rather than spread this outbreak through the FT pax, I decided to substi-Q. So this plan came together quickly. And with no pre-blast, which almost caused Hairball to boycott and take his services to an inferior SOFAWIB. But alas, he chose wisely…and even though we had a little less moving time, we matched his miles from last week.
Strong number of pax this week…must be time to kick in BRR training. Even Gloss was there, with his 5 inch inseam running shorts and dri-fit crop top.
45 minutes of Jacob’s ladder on the Coburn half-pipe was terrible. An awful way to get in some hill repeats. Your reward at the top…burpees (sorry Retread…I know I said no gloves). And when we were done, we took the long way back with some hard running and few stops along the way. But solid pushes by all the pax this morning…no one took any plays off, save Turkey Leg who bailed after the last trip up on Jacob’s Ladder. No, not defeated by his knee or the hill…it was last night’s taco supreme that won out.
Thanks for the take-out Gloss. Baracus on Q next week.
Announcements
Gloss mentioned bacon run at The Fort. Snowflake clarified it was relay 5K with bacon trophy. Gloss was dejected.
There was no Stumphugger.
I beat Buttermaker…again.

Sorry I had to bail, guys. It’s too bad because I had vowed if Carolina lost it would have just been a celebratory stretching hour. Haze wouldn’t let me borrow his swim goggles to protect you all from this gross left eye. Something about they wouldn’t fit my adult sized body…or that he left them at the old folks home where he buys his shoes.
