Typical running backblast – route, names of PAX, mileage. Done

This BackBlast -anything but that, mostly cuz a dog showed up.

YHC was greeted this morning at Clydesdales by 20 other PAX and a FNG dog. A disclaimer was given to the PAX and after being told what my plan was, other options were given as well.

Option 1 – Team Anchorman – 3.0-3.5 mile run at a nice conversation pace. The true Clydesdales. Anchorman said they went around the neighborhood and got around 3 miles in.

Option 2 – Team Zima – named team Zima cuz Zima can’t handle YHC telling him what to do. So he rounded up about 4-5 guys and made a 4 to 4.5 mile loop around Baxter including 1 trip up Gardenia hill.

Option 3 – Team Longshanks – All that was told was that we would run to Gardenia Hill and run 30 second hill repeats. Our route was up Market, around the Community Center/Clubhouse, down and up Stratford Run, and down Gardenia Hill. Once PAX were there I explained the 30 second hill repeat. All you got for 30 seconds up the hill. Slow Mosey back down the hill 10-20 seconds of rest. Repeat for 8 total. On the 8th repeat, we finished all the way at the top of the hill. Once the 6 finished at the top we walked one block, then continued up Gardenia, turned left on Mills, left on Sutton and then right on Market. Finished right around 4 miles.

Moleskin
1. Thanks to Gridlock for the opportunity to lead Clydesdales. Not your typical run, but I think its important to change things up to improve, especially with BRR coming up.
2. Lots of comments from the PAX that did the hills about not being able to do that by themselves. I agree. That hill is 2 blocks from my house and I never run up it alone.
3. Speaking of hills and not going it alone, that’s true for life too. How many times do we face an uphill battle and don’t ask for help cuz we are too embarrassed. Or we Don’t think we will make it up the hill. Or we use all of our energy getting up he hill, that when we reach the top, we are too tired to do anything else. Thats what your brothers are for. To help you get up to the top of that hill, when you started at the bottom.
4. Zima. Seriously you kill me. Can think up all this crazy CSAUP stuff, but can’t handle some hills?
5. Sasquatch brought his dog. And his Dog is a beast too. Gave him the name CC for Cat Catcher. Almost had one that was hiding underneath a car at Mills and Gardenia.

Longshanks out!!
