10 grown up men (at least physically) entered the fairly cool gloom for a magical morning.  It was time for another running of the Magic Mile.  8 pax chose the magic mile, while 2 chose the magical jerry can brought by our own Sugar.  Disclaimer given and here is what went down:

Runners:

• Slow mosey to track and continue twice around at a slow pace
• 100m acceleration gliders
• The Magic Mile – all out mile for time
• Put your time in below to get an idea of what you are capable of running and suggested training pacehttp://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/magic-mile/
• Slow Mosey to run out the clock and back the AO
• Total of nearly 4 miles covered

Ruckers:

Sugar and Thickburger enjoyed a magical morning together rucking and passing a jerry can full of water AND a 40# sandbag back and forth.  #embracethesuck 2.14 miles. 41:11. 19:15 min/mi.

COT: Prayers for Darth Visor and all of his family and pax in the Alpharetta, GA area as he passed away from a heart attack during an F3 workout.  Prayers for my dad, Marie’s mom, Sparknut’s brother.  Zima needs some help moving tonight at around 7pm, lend him a hand, he is moving right down the road near Pippa’s.  HDHH tonight at 7:30ish.

Moleskin: Well done gentlemen, I think we have one more of these magical mornings left then we will call it a day on these mile sprints.  Hopefully, the guys that have done this before are seeing a bit of improvement.  I believe my time was about the same as last time, but I feel like I probably could have pushed it a bit harder today.  So I am counting that as progress.  Steel Cannon is having himself a week as I pigeon holed him into “strictly a bootcamper”, but he is blowing that up this week with appearances at Bellbuster and the Cruise – nice work brother!  Great having Thickburger up again for the rucking shenanigans, you are always welcome!  Sugar finally got to break out his jerry can, it will no doubt NOT be the last time we see it.  Passport Challenge has just started, visit 16 AOs by Dec. 8 and earn your patch.  Also, Healthy Eating Challenge starts 10/8 – next Monday – great way to drop some lbs and encourage others to do the same.

Have a great Hump Day!  Heatstroke
