I Can See For Miles And Miles And…

It takes a BIG man to admit when he has shamelessly poached a running workout from another workout (a.k.a. Swift)… and I’m NOT a BIG man!!

12 Goats including 1 FNG (Tweetsie) gathered in the darkness of the South Charlotte Middle School parking lot under a sweltering blanket of low clouds and humidity to tackle another adventure of F3 Mountain Goat.

Here WAS the THANG:

1. Warm-up/stretching on Strawberry Ln
2. Head to track… 1-mile at Threshold Pace
3. 2:00 recovery jog to Strawberry Ln…
4. T-pace to bottom of first hill on Rosecliff, then back to SCMS (approx. 1-mile).
5. 2:00 recovery jog to track
6. Cool down 800M… stretching… DONE!

Excellent job out there!  We were right at 5 miles!

Voodoo raised the bar last week on Mountain Goat Q… so to raise my game… I stole shamelessly from the Swift workout.  And while I provided full disclosure of said plagiarism… The Mouth still showed up for a second helping of 1-mile intervals!!  That either says a lot about his dedication, or more about his questionable decision making… I provide the facts… you decide!

Triple, triple t-claps to FNG Tweetsie (Jonathan Edwards) who blindly followed Lois (FNG last week) to post his first time at Mountain Goat.  If Lois has a black-eye next week, I think I know why!

But seriously, it as AWESOME to have both of you join us!  You both did great, and I can’t wait to see how you both become stronger!

Goon joined us for the first 20 mins, but either needed to cut short because of a nagging injury… or got a better offer at Panera after he made it to SCMS!  Seriously, I hope the injury gets better soon!  You did the right thing… don’t push it!

Great to see Venus back out.  We’ve probably missed each other, but I haven’t seen him in a few weeks.  Excellent job!

Sensei is coming off of his Nationall Beep Ball Association World Series run where his team took 5th out of 20 teams Nationally.  CONGRATS!!  While each of the games were intense, apparently Sensei was living the life of Charlie Sheen in Major League post games… soooo… Sensei is spending his first week back re-acquainting himself to O2 deprivation and long distance running with YHC.  I know just the cure for that “hangover”!!

Voodoo, High Tide, Nomad, Pele… strong as usual!

Insomniac… dude… 6-months ago you would have been 2-min/mile slower!  Great job in building your running abilities!

The Mouth lead the pack on the track for both segments, and made sure Lois had a running buddy.  Voodoo obviously did well enough so Lois felt like coming back this week… and bringing a buddy… and then The Mouth comes along…  Which begs the question if there should be a “The Mouth Disclaimer”… which, of course, is what she said…

Insomniac took us out in prayer.
