Resistor reached out to YHC a couple of months ago for a Q trade, which I gladly accepted and forgot about. Having meant to post to Redline prior this Q as part of the AO Challenge that Palin never followed through on (still waiting\u2026.), I thought I would get out to the track at least once before being tasked to lead these avid runners on the quest for miles & fellowship. Didn\u2019t happen. Whoops<\/p>\n
YHC brought out an old conditioning workout from my high school baseball coach (at which Resistor expressed shock that baseball players ever ran) that he called \u2018The Tommy Green.\u2019 I looked up who Tommy Green was and got\u2026nothing. Some guy with the same name ran the entire state of Utah in 2018 to raise money and awareness to combat human trafficking, so that\u2019s cool.\u00a0 Tommy is also the name of the Green Power Ranger.\u00a0 But seeing as I wasn\u2019t in high school in 2018 and my head coach was an old school guy who didn’t seem like the Power Ranger type, I have no idea where the name came from.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t even share it with the pax this morning because it felt so inconsequential. The workout, however, still brings the heat despite being named after an apparent nobody.<\/p>\n
Warm up mosey to the track with instructions to stretch the legs while I explained the workout. Less than 20% of the present pax heeded that suggestion.\u00a0 Pax were informed that we would be going at two speeds this am \u2013 mosey & 5k race pace. A third speed was adopted partway through the workout by many, YHC included, and that speed was the recovery walk.<\/p>\n
The thang:<\/p>\n
Completing the entire ladder would accumulate to appx. 7900m or just under 5 miles. With the mosey to & from the track some pax eclipsed the 5 mile threshold, which was debated as a potential AO distance record.\u00a0 YHC was certainly not in the front of the pack and made it through the 300m run on the way back down the ladder before time was called, which means a significant majority of the HIMs out today trekked more than 4.5mi.<\/p>\n
It was great to see TR again, I haven\u2019t had the pleasure of running into him yet since he\u2019s come off the IR\u2026we shared a lap or two together before he realized I was only slowing him down. Zuck, Winklevoss, and Balco were the pacesetters this morning, with Plunger, Valdese, Resistor, and Hitman not far behind.\u00a0 YHC spent most of the morning getting to know one of our newest pax, Cat Call. He lives just up the street from HP and hails from Knoxville, TN originally. He also mentioned that he popped into The Work last night and really enjoyed the conversation, so TClaps to those guys for keeping the tough conversations alive.\u00a0 Manscape was his usual self, putting in work with no [audible] complaints and only the slightest glisten of sweat at the end suggesting he could have done the whole workout again.\u00a0 YHC will have to arrange his weekly plans to include Redline more frequently, because these runners are a jovial bunch and I certainly could use the 2nd<\/sup> F.\u00a0 Not to mention the general increase in fitness level that will come with some more regular running.\u00a0 Can\u2019t skip laps or miles the way you can skip a few reps of burpees when Zima calls 40 in a row #salty<\/p>\n Announcements\/CoT<\/p>\n The Shmed is happening, and if you haven\u2019t heard of it you must be trying really hard to avoid it.\u00a0 Some awesome things are happening in the build up to the big day, culminating in 24hrs of CSAUP fitness challenges to raise money & food donations for Crisis Control Ministries.\u00a0 Visit www.theshmed.com<\/a> for more info, or contact H.O.G., Greenspan, Wobegon, Spam, or others.\u00a0 Cans are being collected at AOs all this week and during the event for a canned food drive, and there are monetary donations and pledges being collected as well.\u00a0 New to the fold just this week is a half-marathon following the 2AM beatdown, headed up by Palin.\u00a0 CSAUP, indeed.<\/p>\n YHC has BnW \u2013 Food Lion on Yadkinville Rd on Wednesday \u2013 and is heading up IPC week 0 at Hanes Park on Thursday.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t signed up for the Iron Pax Challenge (or don\u2019t know anything about it) reach out to YHC or Van Gogh.\u00a0 Sign up here: https:\/\/f3greenwood.com\/ironpax-form<\/a><\/p>\n Prayers were lifted up for Plunger\u2019s band mate known to us by the moniker \u2018The Foot\u2019 and for his family. \u00a0He is in hospice care and seems to be near the end of a 2+ yr battle with cancer. \u00a0YHC took us out with this in mind & asked for guidance for all of us be more like the SkyQ in our daily livings.<\/p>\n Thank you for the keys, Resistor!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PAX:\u00a0 Winklevoss, Hitman, Resistor, Manscape (WD), Zuckerberg, Balco, Cat Call, Plunger, Valdese, Total Recall, Burns (WB, QIC) Also spotted: BooBoo Resistor reached out to YHC a couple of months ago for a Q trade, which I gladly accepted and forgot about.
