Providence Colony

Providence Colony

11 men posted this morning for a cool crisp edition of Fast Twitch.  A fairly basic weinke today.  Go run.

The Thang:

Run the mile out of the school and to the bottom of Raintree Ln for a brief warm up of squats and imperial walkers (crowd favorite).  We completed this on time since it was too chilly for Joker to step off course and fertilize the front lawn of the Country Club.

Partner up, preferably with someone with differing speed than you.  P1 runs Raintree Ln to 51 and back.  P2 runs Raintree Ln to Providence in back.  15 hand slap merkins when you meet and then alternate sides and repeat.  Speedy guys meet up with 6 an mosey back to the bottom of Raintree.

Mosey up to Providence Crossing (lots of complaints about going the wrong way) – I realized this may be the one street in Raintree I have never run on, but have passed at least 591,195,028 times.  Run to end, 15 jump squats, return to Raintree for 15 jump squats.  Nothing really impressive about the street.  Moderate hill and townhomes.  Meh.

Indian Run up the hill to Rounding Run.  Three sets of AYG’s back to the school each 200m to 400m long.

Finish with 3 minutes of parking lot sprints.

Moleskine

Ahh – the old Raintree 5K in disguise.  You still got the whole course, but this time got to start uphill no matter which way you went.  Running the length of that road is just terrible.  Doing it back and forth is just silly.  Hope you enjoyed it.  A strong morning by the PAX.  There really was no six as they group stayed fairly tight.

• Gummy might need to be renamed Crossing Guard.  He was quite vigilant this morning notifying the PAX about cars.  I think some were still parked in the driveway.
• Fault Line and Joker spent most of the 5K chatting it up like 8th grade girls putting their makeup on in the bathroom.  Not sure they were pushing hard enough.  But wind resistance is certainly a factor with the Wooly Vest.
• Fault Line did mention he has night terrors of Turkey Leg’s hard stomping feet coming up from behind him.  Between that and the swish-swish of Fraiser’s shorts, there is lots to be afraid of in the gloom.
• First time to see Steinbrenner in a long time.  Kotters. He hung in there well – a tough workout and not a lot of opportunity to audible to something less than the 6+ miles we laid down.
• Pop Tart, current reigning Beer Mile Champ in A51 is turning into a runner.  Time for BRR sign-ups.  There is beer at the end…
• VP, Icicle and Retread were cruising out there this morning.
• Where is Purple Haze?
• Keep the guys recovering from injury in your thoughts – Mr. Brady and Horsehead are a few, but surely there are others.
• Thanks to Hannibal for the take out.
