It was one of those lonely parking lot mornings at 530am, still no one around. “Coming in hot? …. I guess not” said Beat It to himself, looking at his watch. A few stretches and an internal pep talk about the joys of solo running two minutes later, when Beat It’s hopes were lifted. A pair of headlights in the distance squealed to a stop & a figure emerged from an unknown car. “Beaver, is that you?” From a distance, you gotta admit …But it wasn’t Beaver. Daville’s finest new recruit from Shady Grove Methodist staff spoke from the Shadows…
YHC had a chance to Q this morning in SoFl. Solid group of dudes. They write BBs slightly differently, name FNGs on Day 2, and carry coupons when everywhere. And, these guys push themselves in some brutally humid conditions. Enjoy the BB.

Back to the speed work on The Graveyard Shift today! YHC hit the Swift Creek Middle track for some half mile repeats. After 1 mile warm up, goal was 725ish pace for each rep, followed by 90s rest. We were pretty successful, and got 6 reps in! Good to get out there and catch up with Big Rig while trying to get a bit faster. Trying to be ready for the Homegrown Half! Prayers for Big Rig as he has a family member going through some health issues.
last weeks edition of The Graveyard Shift called for some hill repeats. 3 PAX answered the call and hit Mt Midlo to try and get a bit better. We got in 7 reps total. 3 on the bottom half, 2 on the top half, and 2 reps of the whole enchilada. At one point a PAX who shall remain nameless, released some excess gas and shot off the rest of the way like a rocked!
the graveyard shift was in full effect in the full on gloom yesterday early morning. Headlamps were needed for the track! YHC and Airwolf answered the call and hit the track for the following: Rolling 800s 2 laps warm up The Thang2 laps 5k pace2 laps just slower than that that (1 min slower/mile)X3 2 laps cool down 4 miles total only audible was to go a bit faster for the “on” laps, and a bit more recovery on the “off” laps. Catching up a bit here. It was a good to catch up with Airwolf. Though YHC did not…
A magnificent seven rode into town on 4 (or 6) cylinder stallions to assemble in the early gloom for another round of Ruckhenge. Four water jugs appeared from the bed of L Woods truck, but they would have to wait their turn while the PAX attempted to escape the rain on the Larus Park trails. After a swift 2.5 mile ruck we returned to those four lonely water jugs where we used our remaining 15minutes for a weighted triple check! Weighted squats, weighted merkins, and water jug farmers carry to time the rounds was the name of the game. The…

Three heard the sounds of, could that be, rain? As they emerged from the gloom to log a few miles. All participated in the logistics, slightly modified version of the Walton Park -> Grove loop. 4ish miles depending on gastro conditions (YHC). Great chatter mi amigos. We all learned our paths have crossed with a particular housing developer in our industry and shared stories. YHC found that comical, hence the title. The college age children will be disappearing into the distance soon as they return to their academics. Enjoy the time. -Singer
The trio showed up ready to roll again this morning, keeping the momentum alive and the grind going strong. YHC came with a wild ab burner he’d been itching to test out. This actually looked hard on paper. Here’s how it went down…..
