Ten men ventured into the chilly 54 degree gloom to earn their Java this morning.
Interesting to see the number of long sleeves out for 54 degrees.
We tried to give Lonestar the benefit that he would still show up by 5:31, but Airstream was getting anxious, so we started our mosey toward the theater for warmarama. And true to form, Lonestar comes in at a slow jog to find us.
After the Q gave a very thorough disclaimer we did the usual warm up exercises. SSH, IST, slow windmill, long snapper.
The route was down the greenway toward Westmoreland and stopping every .5 mile. The Pax struggled to listen at the instructions and instead of stopping at 1.5 miles decided on their own to go up that freaking hill so they could get 1.55 (and thus their 5K). Little did they know their Q had that planned out for the return so we wouldn’t have to go up the hill. At least running down the hill is easy.
We stopped every .5 mile on the way back until we arrived at home base.
At every pain station stop we did some version of merkins (except Tantrum), a version of squats/lunges, and LBC’s.
Moleskin
I know everyone is surprised by this but Frogger talked loudly…… the entire time.
That was some fast strong running this morning. I needed the half mile stops to catch my breath.
No deer sightings this morning.
Thanks for letting me Q today Lonestar. It was a pleasure running with these men.
