Old School Raintree Hills Suckfest

Old School Raintree Hills Suckfest

Some things in life never change.  Sun rises.  Sun sets.  Running up Four Mile Creek is as much fun as being on the losing end of a game of Roshambo.  So 10 men posted up this morning for the first day of October and a cool morning of running – 72 degrees and high humidity. 

Warmup:  Run over through the campus maze and to the base of Whitehorn.  Run down 2 streets, back one, 5 jump squats.  Repeat to flashing light. 

The Thang:  Triple Nickle up 4 Mile Creek.  5 8-count body builders at the top.  5 Romanian Deadlifts (each leg) at the bottom.

Run back to Raintree Lane and head home.

Purple Haze loves that 4 Mile Creek hill.  He complains a lot to make you think he thinks its awful, but he loves it.  Amber made the valiant effort to keep Purell company.   He learned that was not advisable and is likely still trying to catch his breath.  Prohibition seems to like Swift.  I am not sure how good that workout is, Pro still isn’t faster than Purell.   Taco Stand 20% of his ultra mileage from that Table Rock race, but probably only 2% of the climb.  I think he was OK with that.  Ironsides was grinding all morning as was Retread.  Somehow we lost One Eye while we stayed on one road.  Good thing Purell found him.  Turkey Leg was cruising up near the front but work keeps getting in the way and he had to leave early.

I will take it from the complaints that you all greatly appreciated this mornings workout.  You are very welcome.

Bring Coats for Chelms and sign up for Church on the Street.
