subliminal messages

Date: 2025-03-04 AO: fast-twitch Q: hoover PAX: Benny, geraldo, ductwork, Joker, hopper, jet_fuel, deep_dish, retread, turkey_leg FNGs: None COUNT: 10 WARMUP: YHC took to Slack to set the stage for the morning’s beatdown. dropping bread crumbs of subliminal messaging that only the hawk-eyed runners in the Slim Fast Matthews cohort seemed to catch onto. likely a reason they didn’t show at 0515.
for the pax that made it, we talked about stuff in the parking lot, then ran to smokerise
THE THANG: the plan was suicides on smokerise. apparently this was way to complicated for some to grasp. or they just didn’t want to run up and down smokerise.
run up smokerise to eagles point, 10 lunges per side, then back to raintree for 10 squats, run to the end of eagles point for 10 RDLs, then back to raintree, run to the stop sign at eagles point (include running all of the cul de sac) for 10 lunges, back to raintree for 10 squats then run the whole thing to the end of smokerise for 10 more RDLs and back to Raintree for 10 squats. second verse, same as the first but add 2 reps to each exercise. this was a sneaky 5 miles (or 6 if you’re Joker looking for extra credit).
due to the over-complicated nature of this very large weinke, YHC’s plan was unceremoniously compared to a certain shirts v skins weinke that no one wanted to remember but we’re all subjected to anyways. kind of like that thanksgiving where your uncle said those uncomfortable things at the table that made your cousin run into the bathroom and cry. it was awkward and no one wanted to talk about it, but they did anyway for the next 10 thanksgivings. yeah, it was like that.
speaking of uncomfortable things, Joker got a little handsy in the Crunch parking lot. apparently the inseam on Hopper’s shorts was too high or maybe too low either way the city government employee had to check for a code violation.
in global realignment news, welcome to Deep Dish and Jet Fuel, two pax that now identify as runners. apparently the Bah Hah-bah half marathon is sold out now that these two former-bootcampers and hecklers of runners everywhere have decided that running is still over-rated.
Geraldo must have taken my dose of the Q-juice this AM, he was running neck and neck with Turkey Leg on the way to smokerise.
Ductwork reminded YHC that we have a double-down Ville to Ville planning meeting tonight. 5 miles in Matthews with the Social House after for discussions of all things V2V. YHC is looking forward to the better weather, less car exhaust, and reduced shadiness (because we’ll be drinking in an actual bar not a parking lot) than Ghost Runner. But still looking forward to Ghost Runner starting back in May.
Retread, Benny and YHC were grinding it out as usual. Steady paces.
MARY: as some point someone was on the ground. maybe that was an attempt at mary or maybe that was someone slowing dying
ANNOUNCEMENTS: BRR, holiday party, half marathons
COT: YHC gave Ductwork the day off and lead the takeout
