Just be creative (A Devil’s Turn Narrative)

14 men read a blank preblast and posted anyway to Devil’s Turn. What could have easily been a technically inept Q, turned out to be a website issue. Alas, people showed up to run, and that is what we did.

5:00 am – Bunker made a suggestion of a pre-run boot camp which is the opposite of what some consider savory. Tuck and YHC decided to join him, and it was actually a good warmup. Plus, we then got to run looking all swole and stuff. Ya bro!

5:14 am – Another 10 hapless soles showed up and mulled about until YHC gave a vague description of the plan for the day. It was something like this…
Run 1 mile toward SCMS through the neighborhoods, brief dynamic stretching routine up the hill by Haggis, then run the rest of the way to the track. At the track, do what you want. Run 2.2 miles back to the cars by 6:12 am.

It was as simple as that.

The Naked Moleskine:
– Haggis talked us into dynamic stretching and sneakily inched us up the daunting hill and around the corner before anyone knew what was happening. This threw off the 6 mile at marathon pace which some were planning, but that was remedied later. He then took off like a crazed Scotsman and held an unsavory pace the remainder of the workout.
– Bunker, Tuck, Ironsides, Gumbo, and many others (in absentia) are running Racefest this Saturday. One may question why they are running 6+ miles while on late taper, but look at their total miles for the year on Strava and you will find out why. They are mileage beasts!
– Welcome back to DT Semigloss and Exlax. It has been a while. Hopefully the run treated you well and you will be with us in the lead up to BRR. You are always welcome!
– Icicle was back again and seemed to pull in Early Bird who potentially was a site FNG. If so, welcome brother! If not, sorry I missed your debut. Come again next week. It will not be easier, but that’s the point right?
– Fireman Ed made DT a stop on his one week of training for the Leatherwood Ultra. Swift, Devils Turn, and then a long run on the weekend? Yep, that will be fine to prep for the ultra. #disclaimer
– Outback apparently runs with an accent since Haggis was able to pick him out ½ way around the track. Luckily Outback turned around to run with us since there would be no catching him otherwise. #fast
– Stone Cold and Marvel put in some discreet mileage today. Stone Cold put in a solid 6+ and Marvel showed up at COT looking fresh. Was he there the whole time? With the inherent super powers, we may never know.
– Ironsides was there at the start and then went rogue some time during the workout. Strava shows him entering some unsanctioned lands and apparently encountering Black Diamond. The man is a loose cannon. Good luck on the Racefest 10k brother!

That is all for now. It was another great Devils Turn!
