Sundancer Ln.

Sundancer Ln.

Finally a “cooler” morning, relatively speaking.  Small group of four, and oddly, no Subarus, alt country, or Sundancer.  Figuring he followed through with his decision to post to Skunkworks, we launched into the gloom.

Thang

Run 1.8 miles to Sundancer Ln.  Partner up.

At the bottom of Sundancer Ln., do 5 Partner Dumbocrats each (P1 planks, P2 feet on P1 back – both do 5 merkins, flapjack).

Run to the top, do 20 WW2 situps each (P1 in situp position, P2 planks with hands on P1 feet).

Repeat until 6:00 and run back to OPE.

Announcements

HDHH is on this week (hey, that’s tomorrow!) at The Lodge.  Show up anytime between 4:00 and 6:00, and you’ll probably find someone there.

Church on the Street is THIS Sunday morning.  I will be there.  Will you join me in serving the poor?

Area 51 is having 5-year convergence on 9/14 (YHC’s 35th birthday).

BRR is next Friday (9/9).  Time to start training – no, that was a couple weeks ago, but inopportune injuries occur every year, so if you’ve been posting several times a week, step up to fill in if asked and able.  It’s like a great 24+ hour road trip somehow improved by a few hours of godawful running.

Moleskine

Small crew of four today, after ten-ish last week.  We rolled up on the FT crew as we were heading up Rea to Sundancer Ln.  Drudgery at its finest?  Brady and Gerber were relatively talkative.  Alf mumbled “Hey something or other”, which I assumed was a complement.  Frasier was smiling, even expressing concern about guys going the wrong way.  I think Runstopper was smiling too.

One Eye, getting stitches out today but still posting, modified and assisted with plank.  YHC and he got in a couple of rounds when Hammer showed up.  Apparently he has a bad right ankle and left knee, never knew…but I’m sure the 1.8 mile jaunt up was fun.  Anyway, he jumps in with us for a couple rounds.  Thunder Road rolls up, and partners with One Eye.  Think everyone got in something between 5-9 rounds, but I stopped counting after 3.

These are both difficult exercises, so we kept the rep counts relatively low and went with multiple sets.  Sundancer Ln. is a short little hill, which provided virtually no rest.  Core was shot by the end, and probably going to feel that one tomorrow.

Pulling back into the drive way around 6:30 this morning, and get a text from Sundancer.  He is alive, didn’t post to Skunk, and apparently had one of those nights – “even the dog is drinking coffee this morning”.  They happen, but 90% of life is how you react to what happens, or something like that.

Final reminder to hit up HDHH tomorrow.  For once, Runstopper will not be wearing spandex.

We’ll be back at it next week and try to get some decent hills / manageable mileage before a taking few rest days before BRR.
