Slick track

Slick track

Feel very fortunate for some of the best weather in months the past few mornings.  Today was pretty great.  Not quite cool, but not hot.  Lower humidity.  All that good stuff.

Surprisingly good workout at yesterday’s convergence at Stonecrest, which was only 17 minutes away during 6:40 Labor Day “traffic” (none).  Just letting you guys know, since most of you weren’t there, and there is no backblast.  Sure the delay is just Bushwood and Voodoo debating voice or Oxford commas in the lengthy editing process.  For YHC, that was a planned “mail it in” workout.  Even brought the 2.0.  But the combination of KBs and sprints (thanks, McGee) was a little too enticing, and what started as insouciant became a bit more strenuous, leaving the legs a little sore this morning.

Anyway, those factors along with golf, yard work, and a neighborhood Labor Day cookout all contributed to the planning of today’s core-centric workout.

Thang

Run the block (+/- 1.4 miles) – more mosey than run this morning at a 7:45ish pace.

Everyone runs a lap forward while others alternate between 20 flutters and 20 LBCs.

Everyone backward runs a lap while others alternate between 20 Russian twists and 20 knee ups.

Partner lap – wheelbarrow straight aways and burpee broad jump the turns.

20 dips / 20 derkins – lunge walk / mosey a lap.

Repeat at least once, maybe twice.

Run the HT mile.  COT.

Announcements – 5-year A51 Convergence next Wednesday

Moleskine

Glad we’re all in BRR taper mode, even those not running BRR…but I guess if the non-BRR runners are forced to endure months of hill runs baked into every Q, then they’re probably also ready to taper.  Small, veteran crew that made the audible from partners to a threesome easy.  Quite a bit of 2nd F on the initial lap around the block.  Watch died sometime during the workout, but One Eye clocked 3.3 miles total, which given the audible to run the HT mile at the end, sounds about right.

Also, the short track is short (reminiscent of a slick track, thus the title), but still longer than I thought.  The last minute decision to substitute “run a lap” for “lunge walk a lap” was probably the best decision I made yesterday #jalapenoburger #LBChopontop #delicious.

That’s all, folks.  We’ll be back next week.
