Mosey over to the church parking lot for instructions on what to do for Run Club…….besides running of course.
The Thang
Exact same workout as July 30th 2020 when I shrunk down a race that my M’s cousin had us participate in a couple of years ago called The Carolina Reaper Challenge.
The Carolina Reaper Challenge we did was a half marathon distance. It was a 40 minute block of time and we were to run 2.6 miles. If we finished before the 40 minutes was up, the remaining time was rest. Every 40 minutes we were to start again and finish 2.6 miles to get to 13 miles for the challenge.
This workout today was broken into 4min 45sec blocks of time and we were to run 2 laps around the parking lot based on our individual mile times. There were 3 different loops based on time, sub 9 minute mile, 9-11 minute mile and 11 minute mile or greater. All PAX started together and were told to rest once they finished and wait for the next 4min 45sec timer to start. While resting, we wrote down our times on the parking lot to help keep us accountable. Accountable from doing Blockees that is.
After the second 2 laps was completed, I told everyone what the objective was for this run club. We were to stay within 5 seconds of our previous time or we had to do 3 Blockees as punishment. If we were more than 10 seconds slower, 5 Blockees as punishment.
We wound up doing 7 total rounds of 4min 45sec blocks of time and surprisingly only 1 PAX said they owed 3 Blockees. I wonder if he every completed them………

I spoke a little about accountability again since this workout kept us all accountable to ourselves by recording our times and trying to keep the same pace throughout the workout. If we slowed down we were held accountable by doing Blockees, which only 1 PAX said he had to complete.
Pretty amazing group of HIM’s this morning that came out to support me and help me celebrate my 45.33rd Birthday.
Be on the lookout for my next Q, on the 29th, to celebrate my next Birthday……..this year…….
Until next time,
Pork Rinds
