Around and Around in the Rain
All All MECA BackblastsOctober 15th, 2014
Four hardy men welcomed the cooling effects the rain provided in this ladder interval workout
The Thang
0.5 mile warm-up run to the Town Center ‘track’
Ladder interval work that went like this: 400m, 800m, 1200m, 1200m, 800m, 400m, with a couple of minutes rest between each interval
0.5 mile cool-down run back to Town Center
Naked Moleskin
Way to work hard in the rain, guys. Once again, @BBQ was the class of the pack….#itspayingoff
@Gamma…strong and steady work on all the intervals
@Rib Shack … you had a LOT left on that last AYG 400m interval
I think we all had our preferred ‘lane’ to avoid puddles, but we all wound up just as wet…..#embracetherain

@SS Minnow – another good lead this AM. I heard the rain when I woke up but knew the PAX would still be out. No excuses, I had to post. Thanks for leading us around the “track.” I’m liking the 400/800/1200/1600m sprints.
@Gamma – I can’t believe you left the jacket on the whole time. I just knew you’d pull it off like @Ribshack after the first lap. You proved me wrong. Maybe I should have tried it – I’m sure you left drier than me. Maybe…
@Starsky – sorry the water fountain soaked your face after your treadmill run. You nearly looked like us Road Warriors.
As much as I hate running, I’m starting to “like” the intervals as well….except for getting lapped by @BBQ on the 1st 1200. I know you’re fast, but I still don’t like it! Thanks for the push.
@RibShack – strong work this morning. You were right up with those two for 100m on the last lap. Keep pushing it like that and eventually that’ll turn into 200m…then 300m, etc.
@SSMinnow – your “I’ve run in worse conditions” comment helped set the tone: no whining, ignore the rain and just run. As always, thanks for your leadership.
@BBQ- DA move to try & wear a body codom but I really didn’t care to stand there in the rain until 5:30am….I’ll pull a @Chaos move next time & just show up just on time if it’s raining!
Though not sure I can explain why it was ok to run in the rain but not ok to stand there in the rain……
@SSMinnow- I’d be lying if I said I “liked” any of it but then again it was all good….Good run, good weather, good company…..good lead sir!
@BBQ- thanks for setting the pace…..one of the days I’ll catch you! I guess when I do you can get out of the chair & congratulate me!!
@Gamma- good chat, I’d have said more but couldn’t breathe so we’ll continue the rest of the story on a easy peasy boot camp or something…
