Introduction

God I hate running. But facing something I’m not good at is what makes me better at it (theoretically).

So lets log some miles.

Stupid running

Lets make it even harder, because F it.

Drew up a new map to focus on elevation running, without using the sled hill at the Lion. Lets see how it goes.

Some leg stretches.

Whatever

The Thang

Run as a group to Yackley.

Then split into 2 groups. Fast runners that can stick together, and then a slower group that passionately hates running.

I was in the second group.

One group headed north to Burlington cross street (just over the railroad bridge) then turn and go back.

The other group headed south until the Norcia cross street (road turning left before the stop light) then turn and go back.

This way we dont trip over each other, we can provide support, and gazelles can run with gazelles and not have a clydesdale slow their pace.

Do this back and forth between the two cross streets until 7:25AM, then head back to the flags

Circle of Trust

CoT was about something cool I think. I am sure it was inspirational and deeply toughed everyones hearts.

I have no recollection of what I said.

But no one will read a run club backblast anyways . . . so who cares.

Random Musings

  • La Bamba DOUBLE TAPPED and pushed his limits after Daisys POAS workout. BAD ASS.
  • Body Glide is a fast runner. Thanks for tagging me out so I could do some uphill sprints.
  • The speed demons Sam Walton and Archie ran like 62 miles. I lost track. Sam wasnt even sweating. I call bullshit.
  • The glue that holds the Saturday run club together . . . Sulley and Woodwind kicked ass all morning.
  • Then they disappeared and I got worried. I mean . . . how the F do I lose a guy thats 6’7′ and another guy that is 6’3 ish???
  • They went back to the flags early so Woodwind could take care of a code brown . . . cable guy style.
  • Then they ran parking lot loops until La Bamba and I stumbled back to the flags.
  • I am pretty sure that the concept “runners high” is a bullshit fantasy made up by people that like running in order to trick people that hate running into running. Its a dirty dirty trick and I am calling BULLSHIT.
  • Running is stupid and I hate it.
