Five runners and three walkers gathered for this week’s installment of OTB. Don Draper supplied an 8 mile route that took the runners down Otterdale, through Rosemont and Salisbury. A 3am message from Draper let us know that the norovirus had infiltrated his household and he wouldn’t be joining. Nice 2nd F at Starbucks afterwards. Prayers for Draper and his fam. We appreciated the route and hope everyone recovers quick.

The usual OTB numbers didn’t happen this morning. After some messaging yesterday, and in spite of the wet and cold weather, YHC was 99.9% sure that Don Draper would show up for a run this morning. …And he did…along with a new route. Total mileage was right at 6. Nice 1st and 2nd F. Seems easy to call any of the fartsackers that didn’t show this morning “chumps”, but looking back on the nasty wet cold, maybe YHC has it backwards.

Five runners and one canine (no walkers this morning) beat the fartsack and made it out for another edition of OTB. Total mileage was around 7 and included a climb from Honeymoon’s soon-to-be new abode up Otterdale. The trip up Otterdale appeared to be Gumbo’s idea, but YHC is pretty sure it was actually Boberry’s (who loves that climb and will stop at nothing until he brainwashes the rest of the PAX into loving it as well). Conversation this morning included topics such as weather balloons, moats, drawbridges, trolls, and lesser important items like 2.0s and college.

Seven made it out for this week’s installment of SOJ OTB. Two walked, five ran. Runners got in about 7mi.

Big Rig had done a little run before I arrived(was hung-up at the light waiting to turn). A little mosey over to an area for a quick warmup. Warm-up consisting of SSH, Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Helicopters, Merkins and ending it with some LBCs. After figuring the area out, I decided to start out with some hangs from the bar followed by runs down the hill and back. Luckily it was just warm enough there was no ice on the bars but 30 second hangs is a good start to not only wake up the back and shoulders, but also…

Good run with P.O.G today. Got the heart pumping. Talked about the empty Q sheet at Timberwolf and Satan’s hill. Might have to sign up because we know everyone likes burpees.

10 that’s right 10 of Midlo’s #1 dads took to the streets of Salisbury for another edition of off the books. The runners put in some work this morning and knocked out 6.5 miles. Way to go boys. The walkers put in a little over 3 thanks to Aisle 5 setting the brisk pace. Coffateria was much needed and a great way to start our Sunday. Great to see Honeymoon and Marmaduke out this morning. Both have dedicated themselves to starting the year off with 21 days of prayer. We will see them back out very soon. Respect! Announcements: Tuesday…

430am…not the easiest time to either wake up yet to also wake up and train that early(takes a unique, special and a little insane breed) to get going that early. I missed the graveyard Monday, yet able to make up this morning. Here’s the Breakdown: Warm up consists of SSH, Don Quixote, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Copperhead squats, Merkins, LBCs and ending with a 30 second chair hold. Big Rig then led me over to the area where he and Chaplain trained Monday. Light bulb went on(all right) created a 4 part, 4 round workout consisting of 20 step-ups, 10 Australian…

Heist and POG put in 5 miles today. This included 1 mile up and down Satan’s Hill (5 times). At mile 3 we began the hill running between 80 and 100 percent effort. Tough.
