Run and Gun Takes Over Wake

QIC: BAM

Date: 03/09/2020

PAX: Beverly, Closer, Glazer, The Vig, Juice Box, Red Eye, Burlap(WD), Plunger, Bueller, Lemming, BAM

In an attempt to recreate the iconic route first run by #SgtSchulz when he was a young undergrad at Wake fleeing from the police, pax of all ages and shapes gathered in the gloom.

MC was starting up around “lots of circles” on the route and Beverly wondering how to get to Wait Chapel, but evidently waiting for the Q to call any kind of warm-0-rama is frowned upon as #Burlap started running at 0530:02.

The Q knew he would bring up the rear, just thought he might make it out of the parking lot without being last.  Nope.

As pax headed onto campus, a friendly enough looking face joined, Glazer!  Either he lives on campus now or he’s got a job as a night watchman since this marketing gig is kind of a fad.

Pax quickly became blinking lights in the distance.  But almost as if the Q planned ways for the fast-holes to get in 8 miles while a certain #fleshanchor tried to get in 2 miles, Beverly and The Vig got in about 4 extra laps around the Quad and 7 bonus laps around the track and still had time to finish their smoke and coffee before the rest of the pax showed up.

YHC thought he had dropped or run over his phone, so #Closer was kind enough to run the timer for Tabata and played some hits from his “Songs that somebody listened to in the 90’s” playlist.

3 rounds of Tabata:

  1. Merkins & American Hammer
  2. Mt. Climbers & CDD
  3. Squats
  4. 60 seconds of low flutter

Gather at 1st Assembly

Turn by turn:

From 1st Assembly – Long Dr onto campus

R on Carroll Weathers

L on Allen Easley

L on Wake Forest

L towards Scales Fine Arts up to WF Rd

L on WF Rd, follow it around

R on Gulley

Follow around to parking lot by Quad

R into parking lot and up to Quad

1 full lap around Quad and cross over to the other side

Straight out to WF Rd (like you’re leaving campus on Reynolda)

Turn R towards Kentner (Field Hockey Stadium)

1 full lap at Ketner Stadium

Head back to Wingate

R on Long back to parking lot

Prayers:

  • Bueller’s br0-in-law and family
  • Praise Blue Steel posted at #resurgence and continues to get after it!  Also progressing toward final fitting of prosthesis.

Thanks gents!

    Fun morning. Sorry to run off. It has now dawned on me that “We don’t need no stinkin’ warmorama atRNG!” Something happened to the JB – Bueller group as they left the Lemming/Glazer/Closer/Burlap group in dust but when we got to the Quad and had almost finished our lap, they reappeared. And there was way more auto traffic than one would expect for 0545 on spring break campus.
