(oh yeah and 2 runners did everything they could to avoid hills). A loose idea for a workout avoiding Twin Team and KB brought out a few that don’t normally post to TT. Easy warmup with tight cadence until we tried the Scapula merkins – a Toga? favorite. Poor explanation and cadence led to completing 2 or 27 of these depending on how you were counting. Mosey…

All of us have to face the Ominous Donkeys in our lives. Maybe it’s in the form of job uncertainty or family struggles. Or maybe it’s in the form of a literal donkey on Robious Road neighing in an unsettling tone while you’re going for a run. Well that’s precisely what happened to Boberry and Draper this morning on their 5 mile run. Here’s what the rest of our metaphorical Ominous Donkeys looked like : Doublemint : 2 mile ruck Footloose, Orange Crush, Rosie, Florence : Performed the following Kettle Bell circuit as many times as possible without stopping -…
