That time we crushed the Imperial Walkers

That time we crushed the Imperial Walkers

16 PAX posted at Fast Twitch this AM for the promise of AMRAP.  This included Hairball who was fresh off embarrassing the Sea Turtle half marathon course.  At least he crushed it for 21,094 meters.  Unfortunately a half-marathon is 21,097 meters.  #StravaSux

In other news, YHC came in on two wheels this AM.  Apparently I lost track of time from the alarm clock to the car.  First glance of the crew was that all were regulars, or resembled regulars, or were not regulars.  Either way, I threw out a “just don’t get hurt” sort of disclaimer and off wee went.

Run out to the corner of Raintree and Windbluff.  Crush some Imperial Walkers to either A) Dynamically stretch the Hamstrings, B) Look silly in public, C) Waste time, or D) Both B & C.

Air squat on hold for instructions and quick count of PAX so I know we come back with who we left with:

Run down Raintree to speed hump and back.  Run down Windbluff to speed hump and back.  Run down Smoker-ise to cul-de-sac and back.  At the end of each leg, do 15 good mornings.  Back at the middle do 10 Heels to Heaven each time, while dodging blinker-less on-coming traffic.  Choose you own route and repeat continuously until meeting back at Raintree/Windbluff at 6:05.

Run to Rising Meadow for the last leg.  To cul-de-sac, 15 Good Mornings, back to intersection for 10 heels to heaven.  Run to Woodfox, AYG down Woodfox and into lot.  Pop-Tart led 60 seconds of LBC’s to finish.

Moleskine:

After The Matrix Fault Line mentions, “Do you know who Q’s FT tomorrow?” No I do not, I will look it up.  Oh, I guess I do.  And I have Death Valley on Wednesday.  Good to know.  I was not prepared for a lot of creativity so I went with some of the basics on the hills of Rain Tree.  Hard to get creative on a running workout and I feel we have been spending too much time west of campus recently.  Time to get back to our roots.

Strong work by lots of men out there today.  Rachel and Hairball were cooking out there.  Turkey Leg and Swiper were up front also, but they were powered by some competitive exchange of gas which killed anyone too close behind.  Not sure who won that battle but I am sure the rest of us lost.

Haze and Soul Glow seem to be getting comfy out there.  Now that Radar is out of the picture, there is nothing to stop their relationship from blossoming.

Duct Work, Margo and Fault Line were also making strong work of the AMRAP and covering some ground.  Iron Sides was grinding while Mr. Brady was plotting his revenge from the back of the pack.  Certainly it won’t take him long to regain full speed.  I am not sure how much Pop-Tart ran, but he crushed the last quarter mile.

Thanks to Mr. Brady for the takeout.

I have rushed this and not proofread any of the backblast, I have outsourced that to Gummy.  Any concerns can be brought to his attention.    Hairball is his backup.

T-Claps to the men that helped at Debbie’s House and Ronald McDonald House this weekend.  Excellent and admirable efforts.  Proud to count you as brothers.
