Clear skies. Cold air. Dark morning. A few lingering pains from yesterday’s workout. Go back to bed? Nope, you’re the Q. Let’s run.
The Thang, simple as it is:
3 lap warm-up at fellowship pace. Circle up and complete a dozen SSH, Good Mornings, Windmills. Calf stretches.
On the line . Goal was to maintain a set T-pace (1 minute over mile time) for the entire workout. We ran for time, not distance.
7 minute run/2 minute recovery
9 minute run/2 minute recovery
7 minute run/3 minute recovery
10 minute run/2 minute recovery
All-in, between 5 and 6 miles depending on pace.
Announcements – Turkey Trot (and associated stroller push if you have a young’un, or a 15 year old in Screech’s case). Happy day-after-your-50th birthday to Layover, who led us out with a prayer using his years of gathered wisdom. Welcome back your 2nd Hi-Fi Blue Crush. Come on back.
I’m surely not alone in having mornings when I don’t want to get out of bed and workout. This was one of them. But I know I am always glad to have pushed on once the workout is complete. No exception today. So I go. Were it not for this group, I would surely make my way back into the bed with nothing gained but a few more winks. Once again, grateful for the push…no, pull, that F3 provides.
