As for the run, some pax did the 3.13 route in reality, some did it only theoretically. My plan was to run out 10 minutes, then turn back and get to the park at about the same time as whoever got back first. That works theoretically, but if your timer on your watch doesn’t start when you press it, the plan doesn’t work. Consequently, I turned around at 5:48 instead of 5:40, then got back to the park just in time to do some merkins and crunches, then it was time to go home.

Because I was running late to get back to the park, I cut through the park to get to the tennis shelter between the tennis courts and track and didn’t have my phone for the tabata timer or bluetooth speaker. Consequently, instead of doing :30 on, :10 rest to a gangsta playlist, we just did some merkins and crunches in cadence, then went home. #notjuiceboxapproved

Some of the pax seemed to like the route because it “only had two turns.”

As for the gun, we did all of the above exercises only theoretically.

I tried F3 gears yesterday morning. Theoretically speaking, it was a great idea. In reality, if you’re not much of a biker, and not much of a runner, you probably shouldn’t do F3 gears on Sunday (for the first time), then Q Run ‘n Gun on Monday. Palin really enjoyed hearing me talk about this in reality the first time I mentioned it. The other seven times I mentioned it, he only enjoyed it theoretically.

It was great having 7 layer join us this morning.

Juicebox mentioned making an intentional effort to make it clear that Run ‘n Gun is for all pax regardless of running ability.

    The “gun” part looked like a chart when I was drafting this. If you want to copy it, I have it saved as a word document.
