Unless, of course, you’re running in Old Mandeville, where there are always other running crews hitting the pavement before 0500.
First off, t-claps to Coconuts for showing up with some reflective running schwag, instantly making the pax both safer and giving us that “seasoned runner” look (so that when the group of women doing a 6-minute pace passed us, they knew they were passing some serious men).
Secondly, t-claps to Waterpik, who has posted to more than a few beatdowns while he rehabs his ankle. He got YHC thinking this morning: would I show up if I couldn’t run? Probably not. Maybe the first week, but then the temptation of an extra hour of sleep (maybe 2 for an outta work hairdresser?) would be too much. Pik leads by example and character like his is one of the biggest reasons why I’ve made F3 such an integral part of my life.
The Thang: Once our new reflective bands had been properly secured, YHC warned the pax that we’d be skipping our usual warm-up in lieu of a little more distance: 4 miles rather than our usual 3.2.
Today’s route:
Back in time for a few flutters (30x IC) and a few merkins (20), before COT with Chewy praying us out. Thanks for going the extra distance today guys, appreciate it!
