The next exercise is…the wig you wear on your junk after you get crabs and have to shave-off all your pubes…starting position, move…in cadence!

Preamble:

YHC was looking forward to getting back in the Q-saddle after a brief stint in quarantine and was also looking to rest the pecs after getting shredded by IPC week 0 on Monday.  8 pre-runners opted for extra credit on this cool and breezy morning in the gloom.  Snowman grumpily points out that the shovel flag isn’t planted at 05:29:30 with just enough time for Crab Cake to hurriedly get it down before we were late to depart.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey down toward the track for SSH, weed picker, copperhead merkins, and good mornings IC with some OYO michael phelps to help stretch our sore pecs.

The Thang:

Head into the track for instruction on what would be a simple routine this morning:

• slow mosey around the turns with a slightly-less-than sprint on the straightaways
• core exercises at the apex/crest of the turn (LBC on one side, reverse LBC on the other) starting with 60 reps and decreasing by 5 on each side all the way down to 0 (no mas merkins por favor)

Snowman curmudgeonly points out that YHC forgot the disclaimer, so I obliged and we were off.

PAX got down to business and putting in the work for a few rounds

Snowman peevishly observes that many PAX are not, in fact, stopping to do their reps at the true apex of the turn.  Duly noted.

All PAX finish and we had enough time for a recovery lap around the track together and a round of merkin ring of fire and superman/banana back at the flag.

COT:

Prayers for Inseam’s neighbor’s premature newborn still in the NICU and for Mr. Hand’s best friend who was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  Also for Snowman to find his famous happy-go-lucky mojo again soon.  YHC fears he poked the bear this morning when telling him of the plan to make him run more mileage and vert after the pre-run.  Cobains!

Naked-Man Moleskin:

You know we love you, Snowman!

P.S. go ahead and Google “merkin”.  I dare you.
