Introduction
There’s fast and then there’s furiously fast. Be furiously fast to catch up to the fast guy.
Warm-O-Rama
There wasn’t really a warm up unless you came early for a quick mile or two.
The Thang
All PAX pair up into twos. While one person runs a slower pace, suggested 10-11min/mile, the other takes off and runs to catch up to the other person. Then the roles reverse and the slower paced PAX takes off. This was all done on the lower loop.
YHCs note to future self: Try running til end of loop or running opposite ways to give a more even experience. Those starting off had to run a lot harder to catch those running a slower pace.
Circle of Trust
Prayer requests for Spooner’s situation and for the family that Drafty mentioned. Also keep the people in your community who are having a tough run this time of year as they may have lost loved ones or not be able to see their loved ones because of health risks. We are a part of our community that can make a difference. Don’t be complacent in your growth but be content in the place you are in this moment.
Naked Man Moleskin
We’re all trying to catch up to other people in workouts and in life. YHC has been trying to catch up to continually-improving-PAX and that’s more a mental struggle than physical. Today was about pushing myself and others to try to catch up to those that are running a good pace.
As a note, we welcome our newest photogenic PAX, The Branch.
