Running for Hills

Running for Hills

27 Men showed up for Hills on Flag Day.  Not “The Hills,” Lauren Conrad might be the pretty new face around here, but the old stand by of Windbluff never disappoints and always leaves you breathless.

The Thing:

Run to corner of Windbluff and Raintree for IW’s and plank for instructions:

Run to bottom of Raintree 10 Romanian Dead Lifts each leg.  Run up to Cul-de-Sac on Smoker-ise for 10 RDL each leg.  Run to bottom of Windbluff for 10 RDL each leg.  If you’re faster then keep running up and down Windbluff until the six is in.

Repeat-o with 15 squats in lieu of RDL’s.

Muster at the bottom of Windbluff for AYG to the top.

Run over to Rising Meadow for a few climbs up to the crest of the hill.

Mosey to Woodfox and AYG to Strawberry.  Finish with a couple of gassers in the parking lot.

5 to 7 miles depending on pace.

Moleskine:

It was hot this morning and a big crowd went metro and went metro early.  Lots of laundry left on the corner of Windbluff and Raintree.   Thin Mint made the old rookie mistake and tried to keep pace with Fraiser.  It lasted about a mile.  He crushed the rest of the course, but I haven’t seen anyone keep up with Fraiser for too long.  The usual crew of Brady, Gerber, Turkey Leg and Hairball up front with Madison, Margo, Baracus and Haze not far behind – all strong work.

Geraldo, Bus Stop, Iron Sides, Utah and Retread are paying their dues and getting faster every week.  Keep up the great work.

As for Bounce, Spackler, and Semi-Gloss.  I feel like these guys are Lance, Rico and Lenny (the three copies of Michael Keaton in Multiplicity) where each copy is just a bit more disturbing and off-beat than the last one.  I am not saying which one is Lenny (#4) but you all have a guess at it.
