Wow…is all I can say in regards to the response from the Pax on this challenge. I remember hatching this plan with Interference just before Christmas. Originally, we both thought a handful guys would be interested in setting a 5k PR. But 20+…really???, I shouldn’t have doubted the Pax.
19 stepped up to the plate this morning to build off last week and tried to get just a little more comfortable with “the suck”. “The Suck” is what YHC calls that feeling towards then end where your stomach is a little queasy, legs aching, lungs straight burning like hell fire, bleary eyed, and that small persistent thought in the back of your mind saying” what the hell are you doing?”. Then you finish, glance at your splits, and crack a smile because you know you pushed it hard this morning. This is were the PR is found.
We owned “the suck” this morning.
The Thang:

Thanks for organizing all of this Vig and IF! My legs are already not too happy… Pain is gain!
Plunger
Great plan, Vig. YHC enjoyed getting out early and the fine last mile tempo push from Van Gogh. Enjoyed seeing the Blue Jacket wielder out and about as well. Take it from a Respect that has reached that elusive sub 20 goal…If I only would have had F3 and the encouragement – wow. Proud of this initiative and those who are leading it. Go get it PAX. You are doing the work, and you WILL!
