You don’t get to decide when you can stop.
Who is it that we show people we are?

Play time is over

Leave a comment

WARMUP: it’s sweep the leg. We did a burpee ladder instead on way to school drive. Starting with 1 worked our way up to 5 then back down performing the burpees at each light pole on way down Dave gibson, we also stopped every so often to perform exercises IC waiting for 6

THE THANG: short version of longest mile with using light poles, lunge walk to 1st pole, then bear crawl to 2nd then crab walk to 3rd.
We all picked up 6 before moseying to back of school by bottom of hill where YHC did not provide very clear instructions at start so had to run around and update pax as we went. but we started 11s with HR Merkins (10) and BombJacks (1) at last pole top of hill. Plan was to drop a pole each lap so it would get progressively shorter think the gazelles got up to round 6 or 7 but we still ran out of time, and a couple PAX got back a min or two late

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas party, lots of Saturday CSAUPS coming up, PnP tomorrow, HIM camp. We named hashbrowns

COT: yep!

The hills are moist

Leave a comment

Steady rain all morning

4 PAX pre-ran starting at 0445 – crossed 160 and around new kingsley loop and then back across 160 and around lake loop – back at 0510 for a bit of stretching and mumblechatter

7 runners and 2 ruckers departed at 0515.

runners route – Left on Munn, Left into FMHS campus. Most PAX stopped for 4 solid hill sprints up the hill that leads down to get vehicles down to the track/field. Continued through campus and popped out onto Harris St. Ran downhill from there to Harris St park where we veered Left onto the paved path toward WEP. At WEP, we did a couple more hill sprints and let the 6 join back with the pack. continued Left on 160 back to COT.

All runners got 3.7, some got closer to 5.

More thoroughbreds today than clydesdales. Maybe clydesdales are sensitive to rain?

Thanks for the opportunity to lead us this morning Rolloff.
