    Unexpected Pleasant Surprise, Koresh!

    Six spud loving PAX members showed up for a warm morning and here is how it went down:

    • Mosey through the Bump House to get to the bottom of the triangle hill next to Carillon Courtyard for some warm-ups–it was a little less than a mile run.

    • YHC wanted to do something different and may botch the explanation. It is a Dora: partner#1 is at the bottom of the hill going through 50 burpees, 100 merkins, and 200 air squats. Partner#2 runs up first tree and do 10 LBC and run back down and rotate with partner#1 and runs up second tree and do 20 LBC and run back down and rotate with partner#1, and so on.
      • Presently surprisingly, Bodos recruited a walker on the hill as his partner.

    YHC moseyed to the triangle right next to the Carillon Courtyard. Started at the top with lunge to intersection, ran down the hill, 20 LBC, 20 American Hammbers, 20 Flutter Kicks, and bernie saunders up the hill, and 20 merkins. Repeated this exercise twice.

    YHC moseyed back to the flag.

  • Run in crispy cold morning

    In a chilly morning, three strong men ran to Dogpile around the lake and ran back to the ET. We felt like we were moving that morning. About 4.5 miles at an 8-8:30 pace. Good conversation! Learned that Doublemint does a lot of volunteering with his children and Orange Crush is a good cook.

  • Getting to know better

    It was a little bit quiet morning. EF Hutton and I started off running to the Dogpile and ran back to the ET after the Dogpile. ~ 4 miles.

    While we were running, we shared a lot about ourselves. I felt like I know EF Hutton a little better after the run.

    Thanks EF Hutton!
