Introduction
Calling all of the big boys and those that think they can hang with them. We are going to work on improving our VO2 max, a quarter mile at a time. Does this Q sound familiar? It should. It’s a repeat of one we did a month ago. So let’s lace ’em up, set those timers, and drop that HC below. Let’s go men!
Another warm and humid morning. The other pax rolled into the parking lot and we were ready to roll.
I am not a professional. I am not aware of your injuries. We are here to push ourselves but not hurt ourselves.
Let’s go.

The Thang
The Thang
The thang is simple and a repeat of a Q a few weeks ago. All of the pax run a quarter mile loop for time, with 90 seconds of active recovery in between loops. The objective is to finish each loop within 10 seconds of the first loop.
We were able to complete eight loops, or two miles, this morning, plus the active recovery movements. Many calories were burned and combined sub-8 minute miles were completed by many.
Circle of Trust
Part of coming out into the gloom every morning is getting uncomfortable. Signing up on the Q sheet can be uncomfortable. You can’t grow unless you get uncomfortable first, so get on the Q sheet!
Naked Man Moleskin
Ken Doll was on fire this morning, with Dick Cheney nipping at his heels. Are these guys outshrinking (the opposite of outgrowing) the Clydesdales?
It was great to see everyone give everything they had, every single lap. Nice push, men!
Until next time,
Judge
