Tag: Satan’s Hill

YHC has had a long work/travel week, but was pleased to be reminded of the Q responsibility at Satan’s Hill. While today’s workout was prep for New Years Day convergence, I started to ponder on what drives us to be better. It is different for all of us. We definately push/pull people along our journey. But what really drives you? No real point other than to really think during these crazy times of what really drives you…………in every aspect of your life. Who/what will you push away? Who/what will you pull in? How can you positively affect someone who pulls you in?

Oh – we worked out. Had to post to know and show up for New Years Day convergence to know what we are doing!

And check out what drives the ibex goat to climb a verticle dam……CRAZY!

A Bit of cool rain greeted the PAX at Satan’s Hill this AM. 5 strong men braved the elements and arose from the fartsack to take on another week. According the the shite Tesla here is what went down.

COT :

Call me boring but I could do rocks and hills at Satans Hill for every Q. I have yet to think of something tougher so I figure I’ll keep doing it until it becomes easy. I need to build leg strength and the hill is perfect for that. 

Shout outs to Nancy Lopez 48 and Rosco 50 (RESPECT) for strong pushes every Q. You both inspire me to keep working hard so I can be as in-shape as you guys are at your age. 

Prayer:

YHC

YHC took us out in prayer. Thanks for posting this am! Kudos to Florence on the Karaoke. You sounded better than I could do but you also forced the run up Satans hill. Good to have a solid 5 on a rainy day. Prayers to aisle 5 and a quick recovery. And no wilson we did not lose the key ( may have misplaced it momentarily).

Three men cracked the covers and posted at Satan’s Hill for what was sure to rival the Forest Hill loops for amount of running (yeah right! Wilson Q)!

COP, Cul De Sack tour (backwards) some block/rock work and finish with Mary. Thats how it went down. YHC got the appoval from one of NM resident marathoners that the distance covered was acceptable.

All three men decided to share what the had during their festivities in Thanksgiving. Oddly no words were spoken……..hmmmmm.

Finished up with a quick conversation and an abrupt – “I gotta poop!” Hope everything came out like it should!

YHC took us out.on the run!

While NM is truly bummed we did not attend this years TYA education series at 45 minutes of Mary, we chose to stay close to home in low numbers and still get some exercise before eating the abundance of goodness the early New England settlers brought!

4.85 miles were tracked! And of course some great conversations!

9 strong challenged themselves to a bit of an Indian summer morning to start the week off right. YHC was happy to see quite the contingent making their way down the hill to the flag as I sped by on my bike. According to the white Tesla here is what happened.
