Pax were encouraged to pick their own path, with a reminder that we need to have a count off and disclaimer before and after the workout.

Back at it – from Charmin
After completing the 1st Grow Run and GRE-41 over the weekend, YHC was eager to get back out to the gloom. Thankfully, Hokie reached out to Bolt to HC since YHC needed stretching. Started with mirroring the KnOTters by walking backwards away from them. While they did their own thing, Bolt and Vagabond heard a recounting of the weekend, along with groans from the much needed stretching. Vagabond added his own gassing from time to time.
Worked our way back to the shovel flag for some COT where YHC asked for prayers as this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of my father’s sudden passing. Glad to be back in the gloom with brothers.

KnOTters all around – from Charmin
In a rare occurrence, there were no runners. YHC was planning on walking around the park, however when all the HIM’s started their backwards trot, YHC decided a day of Knees Over Toes wouldn’t be the worst thing. Tenderloin showed up early and was speeding around the track already at 5:30. That being said, after 45 minutes (or so) we returned to the Shovel Flag and ended in a COT where we prayed for those intentions spoken and unspoken.

Block City – from Mahatma
Beautiful Morning in Metry
YHC arrived 5 minutes early and decided to review an article and got side tracked, looking up it had just turned 5:30. With haste YHC jumped out the truck, grabbed 2 blocks from the back and headed to the cage. The Knots crew was already peeling off, and 6 pax awaited…..after a quick disclaimer (while tying shoes) we headed to the field.Warm Up variation of count:

COT – Be a Good Samaritan

Trading places. – from Charmin
YHC took a different route today, choosing to go with the KNOTers. There were a cornucopia of conversations, from what planets were in the sky, to ways to increase tibia torsion, and the downsides of being a bitcoin mining owner.
When we came back with mi it’s to spare and saw the runners stretching so maybe they decided not to run. Their leader Pai Gow wasn’t there to tell them what to do so who knows.
Ended with a COT where we prayed for those suffering.

Talking with Tenderloin after a 2+ miles run, he said that we all just need to keep moving.

Push It to the Limit – from Charmin
Today was about pushing it to the limit, either with running, KnOTibg, or running back to your house for a stretching pad becuase Boo-boo can’t handle the ground.
Either way, we all came back (with some additional late comers) for the COT. Prayed in thanksgiving for new life and in supplication for those who need help.

Running with Friends. – from Charmin
KnOTer’s aside, it seemed as if most of the Pax today ran with someone at some point. Goes to show that we all cross each others paths at some point.
COT involved praying for those who are suffering and going through tribulations.
