YHC celebrated 480 months of life this morning. Due to the occasion pain is in order.

Warm up – 40 SSH, 40 Arm Circles, 10 WMH

The Thang – Mozy to Murder Hill. Banana Split educated the PAX along the way about the Peterson Murder, which took place in the house at the top of the hill we were headed to.

We did a reverse Jacobs Ladder. Run to the top of the hill, 10 Merkins, run to the bottom, 10 Merkins. Run to the top 9 Merkins, run to the bottom, 9 Merkins. Repeat until you reach 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom. Plank it out.

After this was complete we had time for more running. YHC and 4 other PAX in attendance are part of a Blue Ridge Relay team, and today was to be a hill workout. So we ran the hill five more times before we needed to cozy back to the start. YHC calculated 700 feet of assent 110 merkins, for 3.3 miles. Not too shabby.

Mary – 40 Flutter Kicks, 20 LBC cadence count

COT – Numerous prayer requests were mentioned. I was honored to start off my 40th birthday leading men in doing something challenging. The icing on this cake was when we did name o’ rama and we discovered that Green Jeans (visiting from Greensboro) was celebrating his 50th birthday as well. Pretty special. Heres to a new decade.
