Conditions were ideal for running. By ideal, obviously, I mean that there was road for us to run. We ran.
We ran some more.
Then we ran backwards.
right that read you.
Back. Wards.

Fortunately for our runners this morning, they had no idea what galavanting awaited them in the gloom.
Then YHC ran up and gave them the…rundown, if you will, on the workout.
We started with a run following as closely as possible a cadence of 180 steps per minute.
This was followed by intervals (and that’s why my 2.0 said he didn’t want to come join us this morning. He knows what those are…)
The third step in the trifecta…backwards running twice around the parking lot.
Then more intervals.
Then more backwards running.
Then we did NOT do the cobra yoga pose. It may look like it, but please don’t tell any practitioners that’s what we did. It would be insulting to them.

One more thing. There was a whisper that the mythical runner, Hotwheels, was out there somewhere this morning, running. No one knows for certain, as he is an enigma, surrounded by legend, shrowded in fog.
This morning was the inaugural running of The Creek’s fitness test, hereafter known as “The Berner”. It is a progression run, with the pax starting at their choice of 11 min/mile or 10 min/mile pace. At each mile point, you change into a higher gear and run to shave 1 minute off your mile time.
Thus…
Redo:
mile 1 – 11min
mile 2 – 10 min
mile 3 – 9 min
mile 4 – 8 min
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…
Viva – 10min
Snowden – 7min
Myrtle – 7min
Wee Woo – 7min
We run at the creek. It’s what we do.
Devo – In the non traditional route, the devo went something like this…
IF YOU DON”T HAVE A WILL, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE! YOUR FAMILY HAS ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH ALREADY, DON’T LEAVE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
Peace…

Conditions: cold, but not quite cold enough for YHC to give up the shorts
FNGs: nope
COP: we run, so….
The Thang:
We ran the “figure 8”. This name is an insult to the actual figure of an “8”. But nonetheless, that is what we ran. BUT WAIT…
After one lap of the 8, we then proceeded to run 2 laps in the parking lot, but BACKWARD.
That’s right. Some backward running to get different muscles engaged.
Mary: nope
Numberama: 9

Devo: Tuck Everlasting – human immortality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Until we face our mortality square on and come to grips with it, we are only in a dress rehearsal for life. It’s time to face death and get serious about living.
Fitness. Fellowship. Faith.
