Day: September 29, 2022

We had low 40s and HIM as far as the eye could see. It was the best running weather of the season in my opinion. Had you been in the industrial park behind Gaston College, you could have seen a lanky giraffe lose a fight with a side walk. Who knew they could flip so easily!?! I notice Mini Blind picking up the pace and getting in around 5 miles with Grandpa Leppard. MB will be handing out butterscotch and talking about how he used to be faster than everyone in about 2 months!

Rumor has it Wirenut got some new running shoes and took them for a 4 mile test drive, but a quick Twitter check will show there now sign of Wirenut in the COT. Hmmmmmmmmm.

This morning at Diablo Sammich at its new location Publix on Hoffman Rd started with a nice cool breeze from the distant but approaching Hurricane Ian.

As YHC pulls into the parking lot the Pub regulars were gathering for there morning jaunt.  Flag was planted and friendly hellos were being exchanged.  YHC must comment on as far as I can tell Flintstone was running around the parking lot when I showed and was still running when I left an hr later only stopping for the pledge and COT.  Way to push brother.

Bandit and Goose arrive to join Tube and myself for a morning ruck.

Diablo breaks off from the Pub Runners.

We ruck over to the Dr. office parking lot.  Each Pax calls a 20ct of an ab exercise.

It was a great morning with ever better guys.  We got to hear a little about the world travels of Goose.  Seems that he has been everywhere.  Nothing educated and inspires like travel.  This must be true of Goose.  He is both educated and inspirational.  Bandit is beaming….and rightfully so.

Thanks Tube for the encouragement and telling me that the location has changed.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!  To the Diablo Sammich participants.  If you are wanting to post at the Sammich, it is at the Pub now.

Roscoe led up in the COT and prayer.

Prayers for FL in the midst of this storm.

Tube’s M with kidney stones.  Those things suck bad.

It was a wonderful way to start the day.

Stay safe out there.  Gonna be rainy.

AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timeframe

I freestyled this one with some mobility and running drills. last 15 mins or so was some ultimate rules football. It was a blowout for sure and I think Leppards team won (only bc he was on my team this time). Temps were in the 90’s most of the day but began to cool off during the workout as a cooler front moved in.  It was fun as always!

I rolled into Folsom at 4:20 this am to set up for week 4 Iron Pax Challenge. We had a couple PAX that wanted to get a head start due to this one being a long grind with some mileage.  We got Stogie and Ozark started around 4:35ish and me and Balljoint accompanied them on a few of their runs for moral  support until the rest of the gang started rolling in. It was about 50 degrees and alittle breezy but we had some music and a lot of work to warm us up and keep our minds off it.  Here was the prescription.
