Seven PAX showed up at The Rabbit’s AO for a taste of the BC trails. The ground was somewhat wet after light rain overnight. After warm greetings and checking our headlamps, we decided that today we would stay as a group rather than splitting into pace groups.

Warm up:

IW x 20 IC

Slow Merkins x 10 IC

WMH x 20 IC

High Knees x 20 IC – Because we’ll need them!!

Butt Kicks x 20 IC

The Thang:

Launch from the AO.

Take Great Ridge Pkwy heading north.

When the paved road ends, take trail around the pond, crossing over Pokeberry Creek

Follow the path parallel to the creek toward the entrance of BC

Cross bridge and head up Bennett Mountain

Cross Briar Chapel Parkway at Catullo Run

Take path toward dog park

Before crossing the bridge, 10 recovery burpees OYO

Cross the bridge and continue toward dog park

Cross Great Ridge Pkwy

Continue parallel to the power line toward Briar Chapel Pkwy

Once you come out on BC Pkwy, do merkins until everyone has come out.

Run along BC Pkwy back to AO (some of us decided running AYG)

COT:

Name-O-Rama

Prayers for Houston, may our brothers and sisters be granted peace, protection, and courage in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. May loved ones be reunited, needs be met, and restoration come quickly for all those affected by the hurricane and flooding.

BOM:

I have been running for 14 years but it wasn’t until recently that I discovered that running is a team sport. The mumble chatter takes your mind away from the trail and takes you somewhere special. I’m thankful for the opportunity to lead this great group of men. Until we meet next time in the gloom. Aye!
