Seventeen or so young lads gathered to discuss what a non Lockjaw Q may look like. We waited for Lockjaw to appear but he never did. The only directions this morning were that we were tackling the first third of the turkey trot route. Off we went, ready for some intervals.
The Route
Warm up run by the lake, veering right up the first hill. Pause for brief instructions. Two intervals up the first hill with the first treated as a warm up and the second continuing up the hill and out Campus.
Continue up Campus then u-turn down Towana. 1 mile marker is right at the u-turn. Collect ourselves at the intersection of Towana & Roselawn. Two intervals up Towana and two up Roselawn. Recover uphill after the second interval on Roselawn to a right on Ridgeway.
Continue down Roselawn, briefly disturbing the peace, earmuffs for “shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit”, then collect ourselves at the corner of Ridgeway and Fairway. Two intervals back up Ridgeway plus a bonus interval for Bodos to try to prove himself.
Recover back to the VSF for numbers, names, and YHC took us out.
Moleskin
Great turnout for the first non-Lockjaw run in these parts since August. The thirteen or so runners today shouldn’t have any difficulty remembering the first 2.25 miles of the Turkey Trot on 11/21.
Prayers out to our PAX members that are dealing with difficult times, whether work, personal, or physical.
Good luck to Bone Thugs as he tackles his first half marathon this weekend. You will crush it!
Peace out fellas.
