I miss Ohio?

Leave a comment

5 were at Sole-to-Sole for a ruck through Kingsley where we found out the we are losing our Pax Battle Bot to …… Ohio…. Specifically Toledo.

This fascinating development puts him closer to his wife’s entire family, and as far as his family, not terribly ridiculous as they are spread out.

Little time was spent on what’s actually going on in Toledo these days.

We will miss our brother.

Hills for the Pax

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
The Pax were disclaimed (sort of) and did 25 SSH, 10 windmills, and some leg and back stretches to warm up. The group split and the running group left Earthfare and jogged to the Brayden neighborhood.
THE THANG:
Hill repeats were done on 3 different hills in the Brayden neighborhood and Dave Gibson Blvd. On each hill, we started with an exercise on the bottom, ran up the hill, jogged back, did another exercise, and repeated it. 4 trips up each hill, with 25 reps of the exercises listed below (ab exercises were double count). The total distance covered was 4.2 miles.

Afton Way
Diamond merkins
Freddie Mercury
Lunges
Plank jacks

Len Patterson Road
Wide arm merkins
Hello Dollies
Sumo squats
Mountain climbers

Dave Gibson Blvd
Merkins
Flutters
Squats
Bombjacks (shortened to 10 reps due to time)

Mosey back to COT

COT: Prayers for: Cicada’s friend Miss B’s son passed away, Pax struggles with family and marriage -doing the right thing and accepting it more easily, safe holiday travels for all

NMM:
I don’t post regularly at the running AO’s anymore, and I wonder if the Pax do hill repeats regularly. ‘Back in the day’, I used to do these once a week. They are grind to get through but are a good way to build leg strength and speed (no pain,no gain). Ideally, you want steeper hills than we ran today, but they got the job done. The Pax did a great job pushing through them this morning and we all got at least 1% stronger.
