YHC was reminiscing of old workouts I used to do while getting in shape for soccer in high school. I remembered the Beep Test and how much I hated it for how difficult it was. So why not retry it to see how we all stack up. Plan set.
Show up and set up cones for the test and realize it might be a light crowd with the weather. At 5:28 it is just 9 Lives and I and we quickly decide to pivot to just run. As we are heading out AM-PM rolls in and agrees a nice slow pace would be perfect for this morning.
As a Q it is always good to have a plan but also nice to roll with what you are given and today what we needed was just a good conversational run. It was great to catch up with both 9 Lives and AM-PM and talk through life. We got 4 miles in and took turns pushing the pace and leading the route.
Prayers for marriages and 9 Lives father for his upcoming surgery. Thanks to Stray for the opportunity to lead and don’t worry, the Beep Test will be back soon.
