The #HorseShoe Returns

Wintertime temperatures descended upon Carterico today after a warm break last week. However, we avoided the rain that usually hits on Tuesdays here. Rain got us yesterday and that caused YHC much concern as to the field status this morning. We were not going to pound pavement and we were not going to engage in a mud run across the wet fields. So what does that leave for the Pax….the Track! As the Site Q arrived at 0524, the men were disclaimed and we were off…

Warm up consisted of 3 laps around the track. We stopped after each lap for an exercise. Windmill, Cottonpickers, and hamstring stretch.

THE HORSE SHOE

The Thang consist of running 3/4 of a lap in the pattern of a horse shoe. Then an exercise is called in a rack and stack manner. This is how it went down with a very speedy Pax.

3/4 victory lap

Wow, that was fun! YHC was fully spent at this time and needed some time off my feet. Down Dog, plank, and up dog made up for some much needed breathing time. Now, back to the track.

Sprint the straight aways, jog the corner. Stop for 10 LSF done IC. 4 rounds of this brought us back on a slow mosey to the flag at 0615.

High intensity effort from the Pax this morning. Lassie noted we covered 3.3 miles a 7:30 min/mile pace. The anaerobic threshold was reached (google it).  This workout created some though challenges for YHC and I thank each pax member that helped me through it.  Lassie took us out in prayer.

As an aside, Squid has now challenged Double Mint to a 100 yard sprint competition! He said name the time and place big dog…
