Running backwards in circles at #Gaga


15 pax with options – dewpoint update – 61 degrees.

WARM-A-RAMA:

Some people stretched…others waited on Snoopy's arrival.  Kachow waited patiently for Garcia to appear from the darkness.  Eeyore was lost looking for a beatdown but ended up at Gaga instead.

THE THANG:

Option 1 – 6 miles through Birkdale and Newell park led by Turncoat and Auto.  Auto called and audible and ran it in reverse…so the pax followed.  Big Montana wasn't impressed but followed suit.

Option 2 – 6×800's on the "#Gaga half mile" segment.  Target 10K pace (6:39 for those who are looking to pull off a 3:10 Myrtle Beach Marathon…per Hanson's).  Snoopy is fast…really fast.  He pulled away in about 6 seconds into the darkness.  Hoodie killed it, Anchovy and DonHo killed me.  Pulling for even lower dewpoint next week.

MOLESKIN:

  • Christmas Party is filling up.  Once it's 2/3 full it's going to be 3/3 full really fast.  Per TC.  And it comes with taco's.  Just do it.
  • Planning to keep options open with an EZ 6 to 8 mile option and a speed or tempo option each week.  Tempo will follow the Hanson's Marathon plan for speed work…starting in November.  Between now and then YHC will just make up something where we run fast for fun.
  • Segments aplenty at #Gaga.  The "#Gaga half mile" segment is owned by none other than Snoopy.  Come test your speed when we do this workout again in a few weeks.
  • Shout out to Turncoat and Auto on leading the EZ pace option today.  Mr. Auto has the Hillsborough Half this weekend, so he is on official taper.  
  • Bunch of races coming up…Huntersville Half, Myrtle, P2C, Kiawah.  Come use #Gaga for your run and fun.
