On a chilly (~32 degree) day at Fartlek, we wanted to taper for people running the Huntersville Half on Saturday. So we ran an easy route to Gilead and back, turning into a couple Cul-de-sacs; at a nice 2nd F pace. Most of the Pax got roughly 5 miles.
Oh we added a twist. With your secret "wing-man", you could send any solo runner back to the start. But…the payback would've been worse, so all the Pax instead settled on forming a big squad and running together. Some called this strategy "risk adverse". Toxic called it something else which is not suitable for a PG13 backblast.
Moleskin:
- There may have been monkey-humpers at the Die Hard residence. I swear this had nothing to do with the fact that he was supposed to be my wing-man.
- Enron took us on a tour of his street where Popcorn also lives. Folks a word of warning: it is easy to get lost in this neighborhood! Good luck in the Half Marathon Saturday bud!
- Frogger and Ultraman will also be running the Half Marathon, but that won't stop either from hitting multiple boot camps this week. For YHC, that seems like a bold strategy!
- Good catching up with Royale today. Having run the Huntersville Half "Preview" run two weeks ago, he deduced he doesn't need to run the actual race.
- On the way back from Gilead, Toxic went "dark" to ensure no one tagged him for a return trip. Smart move my dude.
- Crab Legs, thank you for the opportunity to lead today. The wing-man idea maybe didn't take off, but "squading up" turned out to be pretty awesome.
Enjoyed it gents. Turnpike.
