Built Ford Tough

January 16, 2019/in Running 4 the John /QIC: Skidmark
PAX: Cowboy, Dawgpound, Double Doink, Nemo, Oh Yeah, Redenbacher, Skidmark

Cold, Q-Swap, and Fritters couldn’t keep 7 men from R4TJ this morning. Q arrived to multiple Ford Trucks in the parking lot. Cowboy present and a very similar matching track of an unknown Pax. A big congrats to Nemo for the purchase of his gray F150. 7 Pax, 3 F150’s.

Warm Up: We just started running.
The Workout: Pax journeyed out of Ting, across Main St. and into Bridgewater for some hill repeats and runs. Q would call out a location and a pace (1/2 marathon, 10K, 5K, 75% sprint, etc.). As leaders reached the end they would circle back for the 6. Made it over to the back of Bridgewater for some hill repeats at different paces. Finished back at Ting with a grind up the ramp. All pax started and finished at the same time.
Mary: Dawgpound led the Pax in some stretches.
Announcements: See Pikachu’s posts in Slack and FB. Run for Dee Dee 5k. See Skidmark for details or check it out. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/3rd-annual-run-for-dee-dee-5k-registration-53217133880

Running 4 the John – Speedwork Edition

15 PAX came out to join us in a little shake-up at R4tJ. Great showing given all of the draw from QSwap and Fritters! Thanks as always for showing up and allowing me to lead.

Warm Up:

The Workout:

YHC provided some colorful chalk for PAX to mark their laps. On Lipsticks first lap he provided a different kind of mark behind the dumpsters at the first turn. I dont think I need to tell you to steer clear of the dumpsters but just in case…

Once the laps were done, the group went backwards on the course forming a bigger and bigger Indian Run chain as we picked everyone up on the way (Nemo ignored us and kept running per the pre-blast. I appreciate Nemo reading the pre-blast and sticking to the plan and the end, he was rewarded with covering more miles than any of us). Half way around by the dumpsters we had picked up everyone, we turned around and continued the Indian Run until we turned the corner by the tennis courts. A jail break was called and we all bolted for the basketball courts.

Mary:

For time, an audible was called to move into Mary and cancel the 1 mile cool-down (repeating the warm-up). Dawgpound was nice enough to lead us in some yoga stretching which had the whole group making some “noises”. Table Top, Pigeon Pose, Runners Pose, and Cobra Pose were among the rotation. Thanks for jumping in on the cool-down Dawgpound.

Announcements:

ATT Long Ass Run – Get your name on the RSVP for lunch so Blue Hen can get a reservation in. It’s in early Feb, check your Facebooks, Slacks, and Twitters for details.
BRR Team Formation Meet-up – Jan 22 at BlackDog Bottleshop – FB and Slack have the details, message UTI for more if you need it.

Prayer:

Buford, recovering from surgery – may be out for 6 or more weeks – Dawgpound looking for an opportunity to get him out of the house when he can so stay tuned for a 2nd F
Doug Stein – Done with surgery and in PT, wife has a scheduled C section and he wont be fully on his feet by then
Ausfart – Lots of prayers for Ausfart, sounds like he is out or will get out of the hospital soon for some home recovery.
