Introduction

Today I was Q for Run Club for the first time.  7 other PAX cam out to join me and I think we all got better.

Warm-O-Rama

Stretches only – Q called them out, ask PAX to count off to 10  

  • Toe touches – legs together then legs spread apart 
  • Thigh stretches – one at a time 
  • Calf stretches – one at a time use the picnic table 
  • The Squatro – one at a time use the picnic table 
  • Hamstring stretches – one at a time on your 6 

The Thang

Using the 1-mile loop at The Ridge, we ran 0.8 miles at a comfortable pace, 0.1 at an accelerated pace, 0.1 all out.  I had these points marked along the loop with lights.

Between 1-mile laps we had cool down excercises to catch our breath: 

10 Merkins 

10 Big Boys 

10 Grady corns 

10 second plank 

MARY included pickle pushers, heel touches, big boys, hammers, scissor kicks and Freddie Mercuries

Circle of Trust

There are a lot of things competing for our time – work, school, organizations, home projects, even F3

Remember that family is #1

We discussed the power of YES – one of my goals for 2023 is to say YES to family more often

We can find ourselves saying NO far too often!

Naked Man Moleskin

Thanks to the 7 PAX who trusted me enough to lead a run club for the first time.  I think it went well and I hope we all accelerated!  Remember to FINISH STRONG and say YES.
