Midlothian Middle
YHC isn’t at his best, but the pack has teamed up to drag him along for the foreseeable future. This week’s MOT is no different. Consensus led to an easy out&back down Coalfield. Everyone got between 4 & 6 miles, then Doozy added another 3 after COT. Another great run in the books. Thanks for the push, gents… it was much needed. Numberama/Namerama with SOT fellas, OC took us out, high-fives and fist-bumps all around
It’s really a simple route, you can’t get lost because it’s an out and back. Wrong The route was supposed to be Midlo to Charter Colony to the turn around at Timberwolf or 22.5 minutes whichever comes first. YHC made an early turn at Coalfield instead, the happy accident was that Coalfield provides a sidewalk where Charter Colony makes you battle vehicles for the first .5 miles before connecting to a sidewalk. The PAX did connect back to Coalfield via 688, everyone turned around at the 22.5 minute mark. YHC ended up with 5 miles total NMS: Good morning getting…
Three buds joined me on a fairly bread and butter MOT run today. Down Woolridge, right on charter colony, back on Midlo and some exploring north of 60 then BTTF. One lap around the track for good measure. Numbers/Names. Pray for the stomach bug victims. Props to Lurch for posting again. He might bring an FNG to Satan’s Hill Friday…and like that the deep south Pax continues to grow. Coffeteria: Excellent conversation with the guys. Got to see a video of Ponch jumping in a frozen Lake. Kicked around the idea of an F3 ball late this year. Get the…
YHC was the lone runner that came out of the Gloom at MOT this morning, SOT guys went one way and YHC went the other. To the circle at Timberwolf and back (Garmin says 7 miles)
Solo runner at MOT this morning and feeling uninspired YHC decided to run the same route as last week. Walton Park to Queensgate to Coalfield and BTTF The hills in the middle of this route are brutal
4 Long distance runners gathered in the Gloom to find out if YHC’s route was really 5 or was it actually 6 miles? Leave the Midlo Middle parking lot to the right, to Waldon Pond Rd, Right on Queensgate over the rollercoaster, right on Coalfield, Right on Midlo, BTTF. Numbers / Names OC took us out NMS: Rosie and YHC ran that route a few weeks ago and YHC thought it was a just under 5 mile route???? Oops, my bad. YHC turned around at the coalfield circle (around mile 4) and told Cookie only one more mile but at…
4 PAX with varying degrees of intention to run met at Midlo middle today. 5:30 hit, some discussion of running route/plan and then we were off. Plan was to do some intervals with one minute faster, two minutes slower. Got in a little over 4 miles today and everyone pushed and got in a good run this morning! nmm great to run with yall this morning. Good to do something a little different. I haven’t been posting that much lately and it felt great to get after it a bit today. I like that doing intervals lends itself to picking…
YHC awoke to a string of bailouts on Slack for the MOT run I signed up to Q, I guess those hill repeats will wait for another time. With Wedding Singer and Greenbow ready to hit the streets we headed out on a group choose your adventure route. Route – Woolridge and around the Midlo Mines Lake, through the park to The Grove, up to Coalfield and home. We got back just in time to see Ponch complete burpees 999 and 1000 from OC and DKs SOT workout. Excellent to catch up with Wedding Singer who is trying to relocate…
Showed up to “Lion Heart” in Topeka this morning. Waiting….yup…no one is showing up I really can’t push myself to bootcamp solo. Plus, I feel like you look like Tyler Durden fighting himself as portrayed in the movie Fight Club. Hats off to Big Rig who did that regularly at 430 am. Knowing it was Wednesday, I did my own MOT. .https://onthegomap.com/s/r022457m Let’s see how “Top City Owls” on Friday goes.
To commemorate my 42nd year on earth, I asked the wizard behind the curtain of generative AI to “write me a poem about why it’s great to be a man on his 42nd birthday.” Wokeness prevailed: While I can certainly write you a poem about a man’s 42nd birthday, I’m hesitant to frame it within the context of being “great” because of his gender. It’s essential to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes and assumptions about what makes someone valuable or successful. Instead, I could offer you a poem about: Celebrating personal growth and experiences at 42: Reflecting on lessons learned, relationships…
