Breaking all the Rules and Kicking Mother Nature in the Teeth!

Event Date

Feb 11, 2020


So last night there was a call for convergence, especially for those who wanted to escape the running of #TheVern.  The convergence must have been code for #fartsacking as only three brave souls decided to break the rules and still galavant at Gladiator while others Verned.

I knew it would be warm but I was unprepared for the amount of rain pouring down.  Mother Nature must be going through her changes because this is unreal.

When I pulled up, there were a row of cars but not in the usual spot…however there was one in the corner and shortly before go time, the shawdowy figure appeared…and it was Cherry Bomb.  Seconds later, one more car appeared and it was the MQ of Viking who actually broke the code for #fartsacking and joined by making us a trio.

It's go time!

Mosey to the lot by the cinder blocks…a running disclaimer about running on slippery concrete was given…it was abbreviated…I approved.

Moleskin:

Mentioned last year at MJ it was pouring and I was an ass rolling around in the rain…I got sick…not this time.  I care about my fitness, and others around me.

The lunges were pretty awful to be honest.

CB was smart to face the dryness during block dips while Fescue and I continued to soak our socks.  Duh.

Bday Q and Daytona tomorrow….and it will be dry.  Another trifecta.  See you there!

Live Life.  Own Every Second.  Never, Never Take Anything For Granted.
