YHC was the Q at Tempo today.  As Q’s go, this is a rather easy one. Fort the most part you say “Run!”

Today I provided a little more guidance so I could inflict the pain of an interval workout. The parking loops at Tega Cay ES are perfect for it. The big loop .33 miles w/ a slight upgrade for the “fast track.”  The small loop is just about .20 for a “recovery track.”

The Thang:

After a mosey from Trailhead and a dynamic warm up around the big loop, we were off.  8 sets of spinning around the black circles while on the lookout for a few icy patches.

While I was trying to draft off of Senator, Minuteman & Spud (and failing miserably) I was also trying to come up with a message for COT.  I had to put some thought into this Q after all.  Maybe I could use the icy patches as a metaphor (you’ll find out in the NMM).

Mosey back to Trailhead.  Running hard. Qing easy.

As we started to head back to Trailhead and mumble chatter about our laps, Decibel ended up putting a new spin on our old adage.  We always talk about how we wouldn’t do “all these burpees on our own” or “we would have stopped these merkins a long time ago if we weren’t at the F3 workout.”  Well Decibel pointed out that “We wouldn’t have kept running in circles all by ourselves.”

But maybe we do in the metaphorical sense.  When we have an issue at work or an issue with family, how many of us go over and over and over the problem in our head without looking for help?  I know my biggest “circular issue” right now is my career.  That’s a reason I’m really looking forward to the 3rd F convergence at Eternal tomorrow.

What’s going round and round in your head?  Can you talk to your M about it?  Do you reach out to the Sky Q?  Can you talk to a PAX about it?  I’ve heard many great stories of our HIMs being there for each other.  And I’m proud of all the F3 PAX stepping up for each other.  Laps on the track help the 1st F. Laps in the head aren’t good for anyone.
