Tortoise and Hair Run #4

Date: 2026-10-06 AO: Tortoise and Hair Q: Red Skull , PAX: hambone, Barney, Red Skull, Decaf, Hipster, Chunks, Bedazzel, Dolce Mille, Unc, Heart Sond, Sausage Man, Floyd, Spaghetti-O, Hootie, Good Luck Charlie, Strike Out, Cheese Wiz FNGs: None COUNT: 17 CONDITIONS: 52 Degrees…perfect running weather!
WARMUP: Standard pre-run warm-up – SSH, Squats, IWs and Stretches.
THE THANG: Separate into two groups (those that plan to work hard and those that are looking for slack off). After everyone chose to work hard, everyone’s favorite command was given – RUN!!!
BUT….this time we ran the course in reverse. That was not the plan, but some eager beavers tried to jump start the run. Going the other directly put them in their proper place and that head start turned into a little disadvantage.
MARY: Hipster took charge of the after party and walked us down a ladder of Squats, Merkins and WWIs.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Welcome home, Chunks!! It was great to have you back.
