Aug 26, 2020


Turncoat and Dingo joined YHC at 0500 for a 2.5 standard mosey around the neighborhood and a search for nearby rockpiles. I mentioned I haven’t broken a 9-minute pace since all the races (i.e. group training) were cancelled. They responded with a collaborated pace bullying and pushed our average to 9:02. That’s why we post #BetterTogether0530 most of us were ready to go despite the earlier launch time.0530:30 Eeyore rolled in “on time” and we were off to improve ourselves.Mosey near the rockpiles for a warmorama:SSH x20icIST x15icDwight Schrutes x10icWindmills x10icArm Circles OYOSlow Deep Squat x10icSlow Deep Merican x10icGrab a medium-sized rock and Zamperini to the main entrance sign.Stop at each Maple tree:Tree 1-1 curlTree 2-2 MericansTree 3-3 curlsTree 4-4 Mericans …….

He couldn’t go past 9 because he was using his fingers to count. Everyone else pitched in to help where applicable.-We were lucky to find those 2 rockpiles. Cinder blocks would have been way too heavy and way too far away.-Eeyore really was on time, I was just kidding. He was just the last to arrive so he gets the trash talk.
