Poke the Ducky from the Left-hand side….
Ok… inside/carry-over joke from Thursday’s Peak 51… the “duck” stops here!!
But just know this for those that did NOT heed the MANDATORY Fart Sack evacuations… The Mouth, I’m looking at you… Early Bird…. Slice… Voodoo…Strange Brew!! several others… here’s what you missed…!!!
We skipped, pranced and frolicked up and down Strawberry Ln for an hour… stopping only occasionally to poke the duck…!! More on that later.
Here’s what went down…
- Warm-up for about a mile on Strawberry Ln/ Then some dynamic stretching
- 30-seconds at I-pace… recover jog back to start
- 30-seconds at I-pace… recover jog back to start
- 1-minute at I-pace…. recover jog back to start
- Repeat that 5 times
- Cool-down back to end of Strawberry and into SCMS pThuarking lot for final stretching
5-5.5 miles… DONE!

Well, you couldn’t call it rain… because we didn’t get wet… but then the ground was wet, and something was hitting us in the face and reflecting off of the headlamps… it was definitely a “ducky” morning! I’m not sure how we got on to the ducks… but at one point, Nomad extorted the PAX “Don’t Poke The Duck” in reference to questioning how many rounds we had left.
Welcome to Cornrow and Thurston as site FNG’s. I met with Thurston yesterday to talk about running workouts, and out he came! Excellent job… please come back! Cornrow was EH’d by Draino… despite that… please come back!! 🙂 Just playing… both of you guys did great!
Speaking of Draino… getting stronger and stronger! Consistently out front today for a lot of the intervals… great stuff!
Geraldo and I swore the jeep in the parking lot belonged to Zombie… but NO Zombie!! After 2 rounds, Geraldo breaks off to go see if he can find Zombie… NO Zombie…!! We finish up, and as everyone is heading out… there goes Zombie’s jeep… but NO Zombie…!! Was he mad at us? Did Sensei offend him yesterday?? Questions that needed to be answered… until I think I figured it out… Draino has a jeep… Am I right?? If Zombie is reading this, hopefully it will bring a tear to his eye that Geraldo cared enough to go looking for him!!
Joker… out front… all morning… ’nuff said.
Tweetsie and Lois just keep getting better! You guys are such a blessing to me and the group. Can’t wait until BRR 2017!
High Tide was strong… of course he brought his “comfort”-bells… isn’t a workout for High Tide without some bell swinging! Yes… I’m jealous!
Retread… consistent… solid!
Dumpster Fire is making the biggest move of the group! He joined me for a pre-run, and then showed some flashes of Glory Days with a :30-second Brian’s Song re-enactment. We also got to see his lady friend that now walks her dog early in the morning in hopes she will be able to spot that shirtless Zeus pounding out LBC’s on boring Strawberry Ln… Cue the Harlequin music.
Nomad took us out in prayer.
You guys are awesome!! More than an honor to lead you guys!

This got a laugh from the M as I read it to her. Slim Fast’s BBs never fail to disappoint!
Really impressed with how hard Lois and Tweetsie were pushing out there. Lois – hope that rolled ankle sacks up and gets back in line w/you. If it doesn’t, I’d get a new one. RICE.
TClaps to Nomad and Drano for constantly pushing me. Drano’s got some wheels, and Nomad’s endurance is noteworthy. Joy to post with all.
Geraldo – glad to see you out there…but you look strange without a ruck on. Thanks largely to you, I’m snooping around the GoRuck site to get a better handle on First Steps….
