Mutton seemed appreciative. Can\u2019t say the same for the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the Tabata, our 90s grunge music was inspired by my recent trip to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/90s-Grunge.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"246\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Tabata timer was a #Qfail (What\u2019s the difference between a cycle and a set? UGH WHO KNOWS). I\u2019ll take Juicebox\u2019s advice and once I figure out how to set it correctly, I\u2019ll never adjust it ever again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shout out to Burns, Wobegon, and Woodpecker, my fellow Ragnar carpool riders, for helping me come up with \u201cdeep cuts\u201d exercises for us, including electric chairs (sucked), rocking chair lunges (sucked more) and Parker merkins (the worst). Thankfully the timer wasn\u2019t set correctly and I got way more rest than I should have (but absolutely needed).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Announcements &amp; prayer requests: WSFCS starts in 2 weeks, Sassy\u2019s wife starts tomorrow, and several PAX had kids who are heading off to college either this past weekend or coming up. Turnover could use a nap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NMM<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Great to see Palin out at an F3 running workout. He had knee surgery recently and we\u2019ve been missing him. Even on a surgically repaired knee, he\u2019s still faster than I am! Good to see you back out again, brother.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>I feel I don\u2019t appreciate it enough that Juicebox is a constant figure in my life every single Monday and Friday morning. With him moving next month, that will change. I\u2019ll miss following your guiding blinking green light! Hope you can still make it out every now and then.<\/li>\n<li>Sassy posted after doing Ragnar this weekend. He\u2019s training for the Chicago Marathon, so there\u2019s no rest for him &#8211; and he\u2019s doing 17 miles this weekend! Good luck!<\/li>\n<li>Lemming was in the lead group today. He has really improved as a runner these past few months and I\u2019ve noticed it\u2019s harder and harder to keep him in my sights on runs (much less stay with him). Way to go.<\/li>\n<li>BooBoo and Mutton weren\u2019t there at 530 when we launched but were there for the COT. They looked sweaty enough, so I assumed they crushed the run as usual.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of not being there at launch time, Closer ran to meet us on Polo after getting a late start. Found out that his eldest called him out for once peeing in his pants (or something like that, I may have taken a little artistic liberty in retelling that story).<\/li>\n<li>Turnover showed up less than a week after kid #4 was born. I assume he hasn\u2019t slept since last Tuesday, so on one hand I guess he was awake anyway, but on the other\u2026TURNOVER SHOWED UP LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER KID #4 WAS BORN. I would\u2019ve taken months off. What a stud!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for letting me Q, Closer! I\u2019m going to spend the rest of the day playing my Tabata timer over and over.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ragnar trails of West Virginia were missed (not a typo) this morning when I showed up at Speas and it was hot, humid, and muggy.
