With different runner in different spaces of training and speed, YHC opted to Q a bro code style run. Goal to be fast or slow depending on your plan for the day. With the speedsters coming back for the 6, on the four mile route laid forth. Down 60, left on mt pisgah, continue onto Westfield, left on Winterfield, continue on to LeGordon, continue onto Charter Colony, left on Woolridge, left to go up mt Midlo and left into the parking lot. (Zoolander would have had a hard time with this route). Doozy sped ahead but kept coming back, Don…
Did MOT move? Worse yet, cancelled? Hopefully not but as YHC returned from vacation to a desolate start, the darker thoughts emerged. Off we go….Salisbury for some tree cover from the light rain. 4 miles and done. -Singer
Three decades of HIMs showed up for a swampy beatdown on the track. The thang: – 200 warmup of Cadence drills and sprinters- 20x100s (run the straight, walk the curves) @ 20-25 seconds each- 400 @ race pace (6-7min mile) Then a slow walk back to the flagDoozy did a slow 6-8 so we didn’t see him after the warmup. Finkle came out for the first time in a year, but forgot his F3 name so YHC was able to track it down with much support from fuzzy memory, Big data, & our glorious backblasts. Welcome back Finkle! Homegrown Half…
It was a swampy start to the day and half the guys wanted brocode and the others wanted tempo work – so we split up and did both. And then we were done.
After joking with BigRig and Boberry that nine 60-second hill repeats seemed wimpy, YHC convinced 2 of the 3 runners to do a hill test of our own. Bullseye, Greenbow and YHC hit the block for a warmup and converged at the bottom of Mt. Midlo. After four 90-second Mt Midlo repeats, we were spent! We then hit the block for a cool down where Doozy passed us, blasting some late-90’s boy band jams, working his way toward 6+. We gathered at the (non-existent) flag to close out. Thanks for the push, gents – it was good to rev the…
A couple of stallions joined YHC as he kicked off training to PR his mile time by year end. As the pax joked ‘I think we’re getting wet,’ the downpour turned torrential. We did brocode to the Midlo High track, then it was each man for himself for 800 repeats, then back to the flag – all totaling about 4.5 miles of exhaustion. Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out. Prayers for Hermey’s upcoming surgery. We immediately scattered like water drops on a hot skillet, as if the rain could get us any more wet.
Knocked out a traditional route. Took a few minutes to walk and read some of the local historical markers.
DAB: Not the gen Z dance movement or the apparent reference to this. I made up a new term for our “down and back” run. Today, we had an empty Q sheet and a Rosie with angry knees. I quickly whipped up this run (basically MOT towards Timberwolf via Woolridge and Charter colony). I think Doozy gets the prize for almost making it to Timberwolf. 2nd place goes to a pair of squirrels (Tobit, yes that Tobit and 100 percent Rosetta). The Duke and I had a nice conversation about wrestling, fatherhood (M is expecting and due in two months),…
7 dudes in search of a Wednesday cruise found it! Nice meandering route around the pond, under the road and avoiding the big hills. Approx 4 miles in all. No one got lost and a good time was had by all, sharing tales of the century and upcoming graduations
