Earth Day Trio
All All MECA BackblastsApril 22nd, 2016
So today’s Earth Day and YHC tried to think of a catchy themed workout in honor of the day. What were the ideas? “Running the Earth” (cheesy and sounds weird). “Pound the Earth” (not a whole lot better and sorta sounds Panther-ish, #KeepPounding). How about, “Save the Earth” and run to the workout instead of driving? Yeah maybe, but didn’t have the time today to do it. Besides, it mixes a long run with a speed workout.
So what’d YHC decide on? NOTHING! Hence the bland backblast title. Just another day of #Acceleration on the track. Thankfully a couple others joined the fun to make it a trio. And from the looks of things, that’s a whole 1 more than KB across town. Enough unless commentary, here’s what was done on this Earthy kind of day (gosh, that really sucks).
WARM-UP:
1600m mosey
THE THANG:
800m
400m x 6
800m
COOL-DOWN:
1200m mosey
COT
MOLESKIN:
- Lower numbers compared to @FlipPhone‘s lead last week. What’s up with that? Rain held off until the end.
- Consensus, ramping back up to 800m after 6x400m was tough but nonetheless, solid running out there for both @Magnificent and @Othello. YHC’s legs were done about halfway through. Glad you guys were there to keep us moving.
- Cool Eagle Scout Ceremony for @Othello‘s son coming up May 1st, 2:00 (HRHS band tower). Would be awesome to have members of the PAX out there supporting him.
- And also on the 1st YHC could use a hand loading a moving truck. Sound off if you have some time before 2:00.

Thanks again guys for coming out and allowing me the opportunity to lead. Thanks for playing along.
Thanks for leading @BBQ. One really does not have an appreciation for how “slow they are” until they run with you and @Magnificent. Thanks for pushing me!
@Mag – Thanks for slowing down on that one lap and allowing me to “catch-up” to you for a bit until you shifted into high gear and blew me away at the finish. I know you meant well #poursaltinthewound. Ah, to be 27 again!
Have a great weekend!
Great lead Friday @BBQ. Had to catch my breath a couple times.
@Othello as the saying goes iron sharpens iron. In this case sometimes you need to chase the rabbit. Hopefully I won’t see 27 for another 3-2 years
@BBQ I should be able to help with the move. That’s May 1st correct?
Yes, load the truck Sun, May 1st around 12:00. Unload the truck Tues, May 3rd around 4:00.
