Five of Highlands speediest PAX assembled in The Gloom as the clock struck 5:30 this morning. Before it struck 5:31, YHC came storming in ready to lead some speed.

A brief disclaimer was given, and away we went.

Mosey to far end of the bus lot, with butt kickers, high knees, karaoke, and follow-the-leader along the way. Partner up for…

The Thang

• F3 Mile Relay – Each partner runs the small (200m) track, alternating until 1 mile is reached. Non-running partner planks
• Partner Suicides – Relay to first basketball hoop and back, non-running partner planks. Repeato for 2nd and third hoops. Then, repeato without stopping between sets.
• Partner Chase – Partner 1 back pedals from first hoop. When he reaches next hoop, Partner 2 chases. Finish strong through last hoop. Switch coming back. Repeato.
• RRMS Parking Lot Relay – Mosey to RRMS. Partner 1 runs small loop while Partner 2 does incline planks, then switch. Repeat for middle and large loop WITHOUT stopping.
• Indian Run back to the cars, with a jail break the final 50 or so meters

Mary

• Willie Mays Hays
• Various other stretches
• @Poutine IT Band stretches (you know the ones)   

COT

BOM

Moleskin

• Welcome to Speed @shaft! Great to have a new face in the Friday gloom!
• We skipped, but no Stoli to be seen. Maybe if we say his name 3 times like Beetlejuice?
• We couldn’t agree on a name for the running of the Ridge Road parking lot. Should it be the Ridge Road Relay? The Ridge Road Rings? Ridge Road Rings Relay? Suggestion box is open
• Prayers for @bromance niece Olivia once again as she battles Leukemia
• REMINDER: No Last Call at MCCP tomorrow. Instead we’ll be going to the Davis Lake 4th Anniversary Convergence at the David Lake Clubhouse (9000 Davis Lake Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28269). Rep you Highlands gear proudly
• REMINDER: The Murph (and Mettle, maybe?) have been moved to 7a starts on Monday, still at the Sport Club. Both still need Qs. Rumor is our friends from Comanche will be joining for the Murph.
• Enjoy the long weekend with friends and family, but don’t lose sight of why we celebrate
