Date: 02/16/2021
PAX: Mongoose, Interference, Balco, Winklevoss, Palin, H.O.G. (WB), Resistor, Valdez, Burlap, Bed Bug, Total Recall, Manscape (WD), Zuck (QIC)
A baker’s dozen (that is 13 for the uncultured) showed up and worked hard @ #RedLine this morning… getting a nice dose of both track-work and hill-work (despite YHC hating hills with a passion).

Okay, back to the Backblast…
YHC pulled into the parking lot of HP and there was only one car in the lot @ 0525. YHC is known for showing up @ 0530 (or 0531), but thought most pax arrived earlier. YHC was a little worried that the sneak-peak of the Weinke last night may have chased folks away… the track-haters not liking the track work and/or the hill-haters not liking the hill work – when in fact I was just trying to make everyone happy. Maybe showing one’s Weinke at night just isn’t a good thing. Nonetheless, as the clock ticked closer to 0530, the pax showed up by foot and by car – seemingly like they all met at a locale prior to coming to the AO. YHC’s heart became full. Cool. Let’s go…!!!
THE THANG…
The running workout went like this…
- 1 mile warmup around the park
- 400m dynamic warmup around track (high-knees; butt-kickers; Apollo Creed (L & R); Karaoke (L & R); Mosey; Toy Soldiers; (meant to throw in some Power Skips)
- 200m hard on track (mosey to base of #Intimidator)
- Run up to Glade intersection (and back down to track)
- 400m hard on track (mosey to base of #Intimidator)
- Run up to Glade View Ct (and back down to track)
- 800m hard on track (mosey to base of #Intimidator)
- Run up to Carolina (and back down to track)
- 400m hard on track (mosey to base of #Intimidator)
- Backpedal up to Carolina (and back down to track)
- 200m+ hard on track
- Mosey back to parking lot
If completed circuit, total mileage approximately 4.5 miles
COT
- Prayers that He shapes us into and we be the men He wants us to be… that we be there for each other… that we shed His light on others… and that we see Him in all that we do…
MUMBLECHATTER
- Accused of a warm-up that was simply time-filler.
- That said… warm-up was likely Site-Q (@Resistor)-Approved. No hammies!
- @Mongoose and @Interference were cruising this morning.
- YHC always includes hills and always regrets it. Someone remind me next time.
- @Palin and @TR both getting faster… and faster.
- Chatting with a few pax after the workout, and began to recall a number of pax who we haven’t seen in awhile (@Lysol, @Butter, @InkSpot – to name a few). Let’s be sure we’re reaching out to MIA pax – just to make sure all is well and that they’re thought of, and that we’d love to have them back out in the gloom (if they are able).
- Thanks for the keys, @Resistor! Always an honor to lead such an amazing group of men.
