An eleven inquisitive runners paid no heed to the frost warning and sought early miles on the road. Topics varied as much as the routes, but all returned with deep thoughts. Up the hill to the main entrance and then up another hill to Three Chopt. Take the access road to Grove and then Granite, and then Patterson to head west. 4s turn on Pepper, 5s on Honker, and 6s on Westham Dr (returning via Lakewood). YHC took us out. Lots of great chatter and antics this morning. Turns out Finland is the happiest nation in the world with Sweden…

3 Beasts didn’t get enough work from Oyster’s 3+ mile Dogpile Q and set off on a tour of their own with extra weight on their backs. Various weight carried, multiple miles traversed, many world problems solved, all solutions forgotten.

Before YHC went to bed last night, he realized that no one had signed up to Q and planned to start his week off right. So, he picked up the Q. Here is what went down. Mosey down to the bottom of Lindsey Court for a warm up that included: SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixote, Dead Man Hang, Cherry Pickers, Merkins and Wilson’s wife. Next, partner up to head back up Lindsey. P1 runs to the top of Lindsey and back while P2 works his way up the hill doing a series of exercises. First bear crawl, then lunges and…

Today… I wanted to try something different.

Upon the return there’s a list of 8 different exercises at 100 reps each(choose 1). 13(including 1 FNG) braved what may be one of the rate times that it was quiet.

Early morning… Clouds were still out and the fields getting ready. 6 of us ventured on another adventure thru the trails and woods. A little exploring around, taking the reverse way on a few parts plus venturing on the trails from last time. We stopped back at the flag, almost 3 miles and 50 minutes(I can’t believe I thought I had some time left on my Garmin and no it said no more juice. Time to prep for the main workout….

Boberry, and YHC both had a busy day ahead of us but we decided to make sure we still got 1% better with another version of Premature Acceleration. Great conversation as usual, but there were many different aromas in the air. Some fresh grass (more than one kind) We passed a house party (not THE House Party) that was still getting after it into the early morning hours. As well as what we can assume was some wake and bake driving by on Courthouse. Pollen still has a strong presence. YHC may have released some methane gas into the air,…
