It feels so good to be back…

The BackBlast:

Bonus points for who knows the song the title of this back blast is from.

Solid crew of 11 for a dark and active trip around the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Thang

• 5:30 am sharp start with quick 1/2 mile run down Colville
• COP with SSH’s, squats, merkins in cadence
• Quick run to Mint Museum fountain for some low dips and derkins
• Continue on greenway (the surprisingly long and dark greenway) until it ends
• Mary for the 6 (LBC’s, flutters, dollies)
• Group run up Blue’s Hill to Hearthstone and back down
• Partner up
  • Partner 1 runs back up to Hearthstone while partner 2 does 20 squats, merkins, and knee ups continuing until Partner 1 gets back
  • Switch it up
• Plank for the 6 and another group run all the way up Blue’s Hill
• Mary for the 6 at Vernon and take it home with all you got

Skins:

I’ve been a little wary about going out and it has been a little while since I have Q’d, but this has been on the calendar for some time now and it felt great to join the Ring Run crew in the muggy gloom.  After last week’s low mileage and soreness from week 0 of the IPC, it felt good to get out and go.  And, we did, which was fun.  We kept it moving trying to keep up with Chalet, Tardy, and Foul Ball up front.  There was some mumble chatter at first about IPC, Chalet’s modeling the F3 gaiter (?), but we were moving fast so that didn’t last long.

Thanks to MMOB for the takeout.  Thoughts and prayers for Sweeper and his family.  Happy birthday to Magellan’s wife.  Shoe collection ongoing – hit up Cold Cuts or Deer Tick.  Blood drive – September 10.

Thanks for the opportunity, Tardy and fellas.  Great to be back out here.
