Introduction

Hail Mary, Full of gRace.
That’s right, we are going to run some miles, and we are going to do some Mary. Two things that everyone loves to do! Join me on my VQ as I take you on a tour of the beautiful Iron Lion, while stopping every half mile to wait for the six and do some Mary. No one will be left behind. See you in the gloom.

The Thang

Run throughout Iron Lion, stopping every half mile to do a few minutes of Mary.  Alternating between regular pace, and faster pace to start, then just regular pace after a couple miles.  Mary stations were as follows:

  1. Flutter kicks
  2. Heels to the Heavens
  3. Opposite knees to opposite elbows
  4. Mountain Climbers
  5. Windshield Wipers
  6. Merkins
  7. Plank

Sprint to the playground to finish it up, where we did a few pull ups to get the arms involved.

Circle of Trust

This being a Q about Mary, I thought it was a good time to remind everyone how much our mothers and wives do for us, and that they should go home and acknowledge how much they are appreciated and needed.  Pick up some flowers for your wives on the way home.  Call your mothers and let them know how much you appreciate them.

Naked Man Moleskin

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who helped me during my first q.  Goldberg for giving me the push to step up, and helping when I forgot a few things along the way.  Baby Hands and Rain Man for giving me pointers along the way.  House Arrest for introducing me to F3.  Cousin Eddie for bringing his 2.0.  Mr. Nice Guy for, well, being so dang nice all the time. Chain Link for the support and the good conversations we’ve had on some of the runs.  Contra Code for getting up in the gloom, even though you knew that your brother had enough embarrassing stories to give you a terrible F3 name (although I think Contra Code is one of the better ones!). Blues Clues, nice to meet you; thanks for coming out! And Charizard, good job finishing strong and teaching me how to pronounce Charizard!  Thanks to all of you for supporting me on my VQ.
