Running is fun

Running is fun

The big question today was how many would show up to a RUNNING workout known as Devil’s Turn post-BRR.  Numbers were huge leading up to the relay in the mountains, but 16 PAX plus 1 FNG showed up to post this crisp morning.  We still have Ragnar, Tough Mudder, Kiawah, and a host of other races to train for.  No need to give up on DT now.

The Thang:

YHC was on Q and decided to take it a little easy on the group this morning without going after any punishing hills.  The group has had enough of them the past couple of months and tired legs from BRR didn’t need more.  The plan was to hit The Village for some pacing laps.  A well lit “flat” course that enabled some good pace runs.  There’s a few slight hills but nothing these bada**es can’t handle.

Moleskine:

Mumble chatter was pretty quiet this morning.  On the 2 small hills on the way there some guy named MT said something about “I thought you said no hills”.  I wasn’t sure who it was since we were at a running workout…but then he quieted down to run his 15 minute mile pace laps. #toomanymerkins

As usual, Haggis and Bratwurst took off right from the start.  YHC hung with them for the first lap and a half hanging on while they were pushing a fast pace all the while having a normal conversation…they looked over their shoulder a few times to see me and then took off.  I was cramping their style.

Hairball was on his own for the run…1000m intervals.  We could almost catch him on the rest periods and then off he went again chasing the girls of Run For Your Life.

Speaking of Run For Your Life…it seemed like there was a thousand of them out there.  I kept running up on folks thinking it was some weird Tolkien MAF, but then I would realize they were clothed…and not Asian.  I’m glad I didn’t ask about #F3hottubs.

Nice job by all this morning.

Announcements:

Operation Sweet Tooth – look for details coming soon

Ragnar – some teams need people…if you don’t sign up it means you hate F3

MT wants people to hike the AT.  He likes letters.
