Running With Pain Stations – Thunderdome Style

Event Date

Apr 12, 2016


4 faithfuls said no to the rush hour + soccer mom traffic in order to push themselves and grow stronger at YHC's home base. It was hot, the parking lot was full, we had to dodge a few cars, and the running club still can't figure out what the hell we're doing, but we were able to get our full body fitness dose for the evening.

COT

Moleskin

  • Strong work all the way around – mixing in the running absolutely sucked but made for a nice change of pace
  • Ramrod informed us that we cannot circle up when there are only 4 of us so we formed a diamond
  • YHC's 40# bag is probably down to about 30# after Billy Bob distributed a 1/4 of the sand in the bag around the parking lot (damn filler bags)
  • Missed some of the other regulars out there (Burnsy, Capone, NiteStick, Bullet), hope you guys aren't mad at us and will come back soon!
