Naked and Windy Moleskin:
1) Thanks for the push today fellas. YHC was bringing up the six on all of the 400 intervals. Nice to get some cold air into my lungs. Something was moving around in there besides the air!
2) Stoli was ready to head to Mary at 0600 but much to his chagrin, there were 2 more sets of hopscotch.
3) Welcome to Mario from Tradition. He may be a regular at Speed now with his comment, “Ya’ll run around here!”. See you next Friday!
4) Nice to see at least 1 person was wearing shorts after my PB Tweet on Thursday evening.
5) It was NOT 45 degrees this a.m. My iphone and car can’t calculate wind, but it was at least -30 with wind chill.
6) On this day in 1973, KISS gave their first public performance at New York’s Coventry Club.
@Snare Tough one today. 4 track intervals were just the right amount. I was ready to be done and done after that but no…you had to continue the aerobic sufferfest with suicides. I remember as we headed to Mary thinking to myself “thank goodness this is over again for another week…sigh….”
To all you #SpeedSackers – we have a range of speed that comes out on Fridays. Don’t be scared. We want you to show up and simply go from your “fast” to your “faster.” It is hard work, but it has a great return on investment.
@Mario Awesome meeting you, ya 23 yr old speedy punk. Oh…and I hate you b/c of what you do at your job at 4PM. Now that is how you do a “nice to meet you.”
@Frodo You were fast out there today. I couldn’t keep up.
@Gordo Mr Consistency. Can always count on seeing your welcoming face in the gloom. T-claps.
@snare – thanks for workout. It had been a while since I made it to a speed session. I thought coming in shorts and no hat would make me “faster”, but I was still way in the back. But every workout makes a difference.
@nanny- I agree with the -30 temp with windchill assessment!
Good stuff today @Snare, even if you don’t like my 10 counts. Glad @The_Nanny was on the same page…
Not sure how @Stoli has developed such a high level of both power and endurance… not only did you hang up front the entire way, but you surged ahead every time we hit the front straight headwinds which blew YHC into reverse.
And nice work all around to all the PAX who posted… never easy but always worth it.
Sounds like a good one this morning, gents! I hate that I missed it, especially a Snare lead, but I have a broken wheel. I should have listened to Google and Snare. I hope to be back at it next week.
