Introduction

RUN CLUB!

Looking at the map around The Olympiad, I saw the path that runs to the north from Theodore.  To get to the very end and back is about 5.2 miles. Hmmmm 🤨 Can we do that and be back by 6:00?  Challenge accepted!

Warm-O-Rama

We stretched prior to 5:15 for a hot start.  Lots of PAX were warmed up from EC runs/rucking since it’s Week 1 of RDG2024.

The Thang

After the disclaimer and opening statements we left the AO on our journey. We ran west on Theodore to the path.  This path involves crossing Drauden Rd, Arbor Gate Dr and Caton Farm Rd so caution was taken.  The gazelles (Mr Kotter, Safety Meeting and YHC) made it to the end of the path and back in time at a 7:40/mile pace.  The Clydesdales crushed it too getting in 4 miles.  We finished with some light stretching for a couple of minutes.

Circle of Trust

We discussed the unique opportunity that RDG presents to push ourselves and try to accomplish at least one thing we have never done before.  This was fitting because today was Ricola’s first run club! However, PAX need to be careful not to overdo it or get priorities out of line.  Remember your family these six weeks!
