  • The hill is calling

    What happens when Doublemint and Doozy get together? They go looking for a hill to tackle.

    No warm up just a straight run up and down Twin Team X3 followed by a lap around JRHS track and back to BW

    NMS:

    Had a long conversation with the custodian from BW after our run. She has a very caring heart and is exactly who I would want to be watching my kids as they go through the halls of BW. She did tell us about her son and some of the trouble he is in with the law right now so YHC is asking that we all be in prayer for him and that he finds his way to Jesus and turns his life around.

    The return of Buzzkill after a 3 year hiatus might have been a tough reentry workout but he showed his mental toughness as well as his physical toughness by sticking with the PAX throughout the challenge. T-Claps to Buzzkill hope to see you back on a regular basis.

    Thanks to Opus for cueing YHC to Q. And thanks to the whole Pax for humoring me. After a week of summer-like weather, a morning in the 40s can feel a bit uncomfortable. The goal of this morning’s workout was to live on that edge of discomfort. Temporary, controlled, intentional discomfort can be a recipe for progress. For making ourselves just a little better – stronger, more confident, and ultimately happier – than we were yesterday. YHC hopes the workout was an avenue for the Pax to make that progress individually. And, that we are all gas station ready.

  • Reverse Giles Loop

    YHC discussed doing this loop after our Tomato Run Race the previous weekend. See map below as this works out to a 4.1 mile route and has a long uphill route through Giles.

    As this was a recovery run we still ran a clip of about an 8:35 minute mile, YHC took the extra time at the return to stretch for about 5 minutes while Phonics, Hash and Spit ran for an additional 1/2 mile.

    Namerama, Numberama – Phonics took us out.

    Moleskin

    We stayed a little longer to catch up and review the race last weekend, and what will be next in the future so stay tuned as we may have a new event in the Fall.

    It was a pleasure to run with the guys this morning and I look forward to seeing you in the gloom…Cheers, CB!

  • More beer, more beer

    Ten Titans beat the allures of the comfy bed to meet in the gloom for a 4.5 brocode run in prep for the beach bodies competition. The route was north on Pump and back on JRP.

    YHC took us out. Prayers for Clint and Christine.

    NMS – Next week is the official anniversary of this AO. Its been fun seeing it grow and great to have some new brothers out. Welcome Homer and Offshore.

    YHC likes Brocode because it gives folks (most folks anyway) a chance to chat, at the expense of a fitness bending workout. Somehow Ziggy still rated it as PRODUCTIVE, which is strange since there have been so many harder runs that were rated lower.

    BB title courtesy of Homer. He sure has a way with words – a great mantra through the low points of a workout.

    Currahee!

    Run lap with 6 stops and perform 10 merkins at each then lap and 15 WWII, 3rd lap 20 Squats, 4th lap 25 of something.

    Triple check with runner going around the stadium stairs . Others perform merkins, flutters, dollies. Etc.

  • It’s an OK route

    Much better than ok due to scenery, flatness, and simplicity but OK due to the shape of the route’s similarity to the state of Oklahoma.

    East on Grove. 4s turn left on Strawberry, 5s on Allen, and 6s on Harrison. Everyone turns left on Park and left on Nansemond with a final right on Grove to come back home.

    Marv took us out today.

    Thoughts and prayers go out to Bleeder and his family.
