The Pax always enjoys a birthday beatdown and since my 42nd happened to be on the day of a traditional running workout and we are in the middle of the Run Ranger Run challenge I figured I’d take the Q and log some miles.  Resurrecting a Halloween Q get-up I also figured I should look the part.  Perhaps I’d excite more middle-aged flabby ladies then I’d earn respect from the Tulane cross country team but I considered myself more Pre than Richard in my own mind!

Yankees preblast in addition to driving home the meaning of fart-sack (see the list of pax) also tipped off the runners and I was pleased to see the response.  A scouting run by the course director found a wet but fast track.

Disclaimer and let’s get started.  Warm up in place with some hamstring stretching and let’s mosey.  Run as a group clockwise around the park from the flag.

0.0- .5 miles: pause for 10 burpees IC and then Indian Run

.5- 1.0 miles: benches for dips IC x 20 then some ‘classic Tinkles’ of 10 Derkins, 10 Shoulder Taps, 10 Derkins IC.

1.0- 1.5 miles: POW run, backwards run, Right and left karaoke, and pause for 10 burpees IC

1.5- 2.75: Indian Run and pause for 10 Burpees  IC

2.75- 3.15 miles: Mosey

3.15-3.6 miles: Alternate sprint/jog in the running man back to the flag. 12  Burpees IC to finish strong at a total of 42.

Count off, namorama, Ball of Man.  Thank you Lord for the fellowship that make the painful painless and for the desire to make ourselves better.  Special intentions for Peaches’s brother and YSR’s aunt.  Please give them the strength to face their challenges.

Thanks to Pax for getting me off to a great start to my 43rd year!
