PAX: The Vig, Palin (WB), Chomper, Winklevoss, BALCO, Resistor (WD), Hitman, Crash, Zuckerberg (QIC)

9 pax found their #RedLine this morning by running some circles and some hills. 400m and 800m repeats with ‘breaks’ in between – consisting of trips up The Intimidator.

A good time was had by all.

Went a li’l something like this…

THE THANG:

• Warm-up mile around the park (“Oh, hey @Palin!”…. “Oh, hey there, @BALCO!”…)
• Dynamic warm-up (400m) around the track (high knees; butt-kickers; Apollo Creeds (R & L); power skips; karaoke (R&L);mosey)
• 400m sprint
• Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Run up to Carolina and back to track
• 800m sprint
• Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Backpedal up to Carolina and back to track
• 400m sprint
• Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Run up to Carolina and back to track
• 800m sprint
• Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Backpedal up to Carolina and back to track
• 400m sprint
• Extra 400m sprint (if time allowed)
• Mosey back to parking lot
• FIN!

Total Mileage: 4.0-5.0 miles

COT

• Prayers for @Hitman’s neighbor (Bob and family) and @Zuck’s sister (Amy and family); also prayers that we can be the men He wants us to be and glorify Him in all that we do.

NMM

• @Viggy was flying today
• @Palin doesn’t pick up and offer rides to random folks/runners @ 5:20am – not that @BALCO is random
• I don’t know why we ever feel the need to go higher/further up The Intimidator than Carolina – that seemed plenty far.
• Pax specifically enjoyed the backpedal up The Intimidator – #Quadriphilia
• Something bright in the sky was suggested to be either Mars… or Venus… or possibly… Uranus (#Astronomy)
• Cool, clear morning
• An honor to lead.  Thanks for the keys, @Resistor!!!
