YHC let it be known on the Slackverse that the Dawgs were taking a turn back to the good ole days for the Tuesday cruise.  Some speculated that it might mean a visit to the track may be coming.  Well… of course that it is what it meant.  The cruise has had great numbers for a while and the best Strava art tradition around has continued, but today was a day to put on the big boy pants and push yourself out of the comfort zone and get better in the process. 11 Dawgs knew what was coming and showed up anyway; because they wanted to get better.  It went something like this…

Quick mosey around the parking lot and then we headed to the gate.  Just like magic… it opened to ensure no fun was missed.  The pax knocked a lap and 1/2 warm up then circled for the plan.

First up… 4 laps running: 1/2 lap hard and 1/2 lap recovery.
Next up… 8 laps running: 1 lap hard and 1 lap recovery
Next up… Runners choose, but keep pushing until time is called.

While all this running was going down, we did have 2 Dawg House legends rucking around the track without pause. Other than getting in the way of YHC a few times, I suppose they did a good job as well (for ruckers)  😉

YHC uncharacteristically got the Dawgs back to the kennel early, so we stretched and loosened up a little with some Penny Pickers, Windmills, Squats, and Lunges

Strong work this morning men!  Thanks for embracing the suck with me!
