One shy of 12 huddled around big blue waiting for instructions but they never came. BT proclaimed, “It’s 5:30!” and YHC said, “Follow Me!” Groaning ensued.
Mosey by group to the base of Roselawn and Towana and collect the PAX. After the recollection of the good spirited cheer YHC received while trying to help propagate the 12 days of Christmas last year, YHC pronounced his intentions for this year’s 12 days. What better way than intervals.
We’ve never done 12 intervals before so YHC figured today seemed like a great day to try. There was a warning blast on twitter indicating there was the possibility of mischievousness. Spider Run was the opposite of Christmas today. 12 intervals up Roselawn and Towana is a Grinch’s blessing indeed.
Lots of recollection during today’s run. The last time we did intervals at Spider Run was 7/17 in sweltering heat and humidity. There was also discussion of the newly minted “No Dumping” sign in the vicinity of Fudd’s infamous tron squats. Glad to see we are welcome in the neighborhood. I was glad to see that Sippy has overcome the memories of reverse intervals down Towana. That is a feat likely not to be repeated.
YHC totaled about 4.5 miles and 552 ft. of elevation gain. Bleeder managed to mix in a latte between intervals. The Grinch would be proud.

With sandbags in tow this was the perfect workout for Saab today.
I’ve always felt that the “12 Days of Christmas” was too long and something I’d rather not suffer through….this workout was aptly named.
Thank you for including a picture of the true Grinch….there is only one after all.
