Cobra, Bluto, Landshark, Boomerang, Lite Brigade, The Singing Cowboy, Interference, LaFreak, Fingers and Closer (QIC)

As had become a terrible Wednesday tradition, I met Bluto and TSC at 4:45 for a little EC warm up. Senor Nantan and YHC are on the Baltimore or Burst plan getting ready to run our first marathons in October. Really appreciate the push and accountability of having training partners. As we prepared we saw two cats meet in the parking lot for a little conversation. Happy to see cats, not skunks. During the run we also passed the big honking turtle in the driveway. Knowing cars of the PAX would soon be arriving TSC attempted to move the beast. Turtle was not happy about being lifted so we left it well alone. Fortunately it moved itself. Finally Cobra’s Dog arrived with freshly shorn Cobra in tow. This all happened before 5:15.

PAX gather for BNW at 5:25. YHC brought in some fine classical tunes by Chopin. The mumble chatter started quickly and loudly. I recognized all the PAX so a simple/brief/inadequate disclaimer was shared and the real playlist of 90’s rap was started and BnW began.

Cobra shared several threats upon hearing Chopin. First for everything.

Boomerang was worried I was putting him to sleep. He was tired this morning ing and didn’t even listen to NPR on the drive in.

Good to see Interference making the comeback. Not showing ill effects from the broke foot.

Litebrigade, Boomerang and TSC seemed to have a friendly competition during the running portions. Awesome to see the PAX push each other.

Filled with Qdrenaline I didn’t hear much else. Either the workout was sufficient, I pushed too hard or the ear plugs worked this morning.
