Introduction
The goal today was to push mileage. Choose your own mileage to cover in about 42 minutes and maybe run with another PAX that will push you. My goal was 5 miles.
Warm-O-Rama
I told everyone to come warm and stretched out as we would start running right after I finished reciting the introduction and disclaimer.
The Thang
Out and back run to Settler’s Park. Finish with a 100-second high plank hold.
Circle of Trust
Keep those family traditions alive! I went to my Grandma’s house on Sunday for a Christmas party. Same house that my mom grew up in Des Plaines. My mom has 8 other brothers and sisters, and this house only has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. We all get together there (now with all our own families) a week before Christmas, and cram in shoulder to shoulder and sing Christmas carols, do a white elephant gift exchange, and eat a ton of food. My Grandma still plays the piano at 88 years old. There was probably about 40 people there, and it’s a party I wouldn’t want to miss for the world. Probably my favorite family Christmas tradition.
Naked Man Moleskin
Great crew today! Thanks Ozark for having our six. Fun with numbers today, but Foreclosure reminded me that 5+100 does not equal 500. We’ll have to double check that. Sparkler set the example as always by EC running prior to the run club. I love seeing Bunny Hill continue to accelerate and run clubs. It was great to meet Singer today. And Bob Villa helped me push my pace today at a much faster clip than I was intending…and made me remember that if you want to run faster, then run with faster men!
