    NMS:

    Welcome to the PAX Vagabond. He is Gypsies cousin so the name seamed to fit.

    Proud Pops moment when Posey got the call to lead cadence in the ring of fire. He chose Flutter Kicks, his cadence was clear and on time. Someone signed him up for a VQ at No Toll next week that someone shall remain nameless to protect the guilty.

    Numbers/Names DTH took us out

    NMS:

    YHC had full intention of keeping the run portion of this workout to a low roar by just staying on the blacktop, however as a Doozy Q usually goes there was a fair amount of run to be had. YHC had a couple other fun things planned but the elevens took up way more time than anticipated so they will have to remain on the back burner until the next open Q.

  • Solo River Run

    Uno Amego out for a run at BWES this morning. YHC decided to run the Tarrington route today but took the wrong right turn after the first round about and ended up cutting off about a mile and two hills. by the time YHC realized his mistake it was too late to back track. Run must have been right around 4 miles and the pace might have been around the 8 min mark. YHC no longer has a fancy GPS watch so distance and pace are difficult to keep track of.

    Wojo and YHC talk while waiting for the runners to return

    NMS

    Great day for a beat down but extremely muggy. While talking after the COT YHC was reminded the he and Wojo graduated from the same High School in Charlotte, NC though a couple years apart. It’s always interesting to see how lives and paths have crossed over the years and how we may really never know it until later in life.

  • Time to think and reflect

    With Winklevoss and Crash Test Dummy getting ready to graduate later this afternoon YHC needed a bit of normal to start the morning. 5:30 and it looks like YHC is on his own for the day. Headed to Twin Team for some repetition. 5 times up and down the hill and back to the flag, mission accomplished. For those of you with younger kids, watch out it goes quicker than you think.

  • Are there hills on this run?

    3 runners posted at the slowly reopening River Run AO to see where Doozy wanted to take them.

    An OG River Downs 5 mile route was called

    Circle around by JRHS to the front of River Downs take the second left up the little hill, turn right at the stop sign and head to Gumbo’s house. At Gumbo’s house turn around in the cul-de-sac and head back the same way you came.

    Numbers / Names

    NMS:

    YHC wanted to incorporate some hill work but still thought the mileage was good, perfect for the River Downs route. YHC did have to text Gumbo to verify the exact way the route was run.

  • Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

    In 1972 the members of Deep Purple headed to Montreux in Lake Geneva to make a record. They went to a Frank Zappa concert to let off a little steam and get some inspiration. Someone in the crowd shot off a flair gun which hit the ceiling and burned the venue to the ground. That night smoke on the water was born.

    3 ground and pounders decided to run down to the river to see what was going on down there, 5 runners decided to follow just in case. Once the river was reached we found everything as it should be and scientifically speaking it was just the difference in the air and water temperature that created the smoke like fog on the water. The fire in the sky was the sun peaking over the horizon.

    YHC actually heard the story of how Deep Purple came up with “Smoke on the water” this week while listening to his classic rock station and this mornings visit to the river made it an easy title. YHC has been the owner of at least 20 6 string guitars (electric and acoustic) and still can’t play one song all the way through. However Smoke on the Water is one that he can play most of the way through. Deep Purple, The Who and Molly Hatchet are some of the greatest bands to ever play.
