  • One left alone makes a right! – from Mayhem

    In 2 days we have the Eve before Christmas. Today is the Eve before the Big Freeze. It was tough getting out of bed, knowing what transpired the night before and what the Arctic Blast will bring the day following. Not wanting to let fellow PAX down I made the trek to AO Pontiff. Finding no one in sight and being a newbie (4th week, won’t forget the day I was an FNG, but I digress) I made the executive decision to run the regulate route in reverse in case PAX showed up along the way. None in sight. Stayed true to the routine.
    4.7 miles.
    Back at 6:15.
    Solo.
    No announcements. No intentions.
    My first (default? fake?) Q? MAYBE more Qs to come in 2023?
    Good luck with the weather fellow PAX.

  • Qsource Ruck – from Fracsac

    A Qsource ruck was held where men experienced the 1st F, embraced the 2nd F, and shared the 3rd F. There were some runners that ran. Be on the lookout for next week Qsource!

  • Wally Green Run – from Fracsac

    Three Pax joined the Wally Run on St Patty’s Day to get some miles in, burn some calories, and enjoy some solid F2. Mission accomplished.

  • Thursday Tempo – from Hawgcycle

    Rev, Tenderloin and I met in the gloom for a slightly planned Wally Run. Tenderloin was gimpy in the knee but planning to stick to his goal. Rev and I wished him luck as he headed to the track.

    I informed Rev that he and I would be doing a tempo run. I texted him the Jack Daniels VDOT Running Calculator Wednesday night – https://runsmartproject.com/calculator/

    Using his 2nd place 10 mile finish at the Lakeview Distance Festival, The Rev came prepared with his threshold pace of 8:15/mile. I had calculated mine to be 7:15/mile. I told him we would warm-up on the way to Duplessis and then we would run two Wally Run Big Loops (3 miles total) at our threshold pace. We got to Duplessis ( a little faster than I wanted) and I proceeded to increase my pace to 7:15/mile. As I sped up the good Rev was right beside me. Had I forgotten to inform him that because of our different paces, we wouldn’t be running the loops together? Maybe his Chinese Knock off watch was telling him that he was running at an 8:15 pace? Was he scared of the dark? Is he lonely and crying out for help? Was he wanting to finish telling me his book review of about the latest archeological find in the caves of Isreal? I really have no idea. I can’t think and run at the same time, so I decided not to worry about it.

    The Good Reverend did slow down eventually, but not that much. His pace was at least a half minute faster during the tempo run than he was planning on. He’s obviously faster than he realized and is now the odd’s on favorite for a first place finish in next years Lakeview Distance Festival. I hit my pace about right. We finished up with a slow jog back to the start where we found Tenderloin finishing his final lap to meet his goal.

    YHC prayed us out.

  • Hawg and the Dummies – from Rev Sox

    The Wally Run began at 5:15 with Hawg, Two Yutes, and YHC. Two dummies and the Captain of Who Dat? Hot and Spicy (or something like that). The dummies and hog ran 1.25 miles by 5:30 when the remainder of the Pax arrived.

    The rest of the Pax started the run at 5:30 with numbers leaning heavily in favor of the Dummy Runners. Good showing team. It’s the Wally, so everyone ran until 6:15 followed by the count-off, name-O-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.

  • We ran – from Rev Sox

    Some ran, some walked, it was the Wally Run. I have nothing else to add.
