INTRO:

At the Morningwood, every two months, the Pax do a run around the Grandmar Loop to see how much we have improved since the previous edition and try for some PRs. Today was the 4^th edition of 2021 and some PRs were set!

WARM-O-RAMA:

A number of Pax pre-ran. Yes, pre-ran a running beatdown. Pella and White Claw pre-ran and then headed to the Kodiak. Duggar and Misty pre-ran and then ran the Grandmar Loop and The Joker had to get home after his pre-run for a work Zoom Meeting.

THE THANG:

Easy..run the 3 mile Grandmar Loop (Clockwise).

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

 We discussed The Dirty Spokes race this weekend at Sawnee Mountain. A number of Morningwooders will be attending. 2.0 weekend of rucking and a Beatdown the Saturday before School starts (7/31), and the Savannah Marathon/Half-Marathon. Prayers for Duggar’s M as she has kneee replacement surgery today. Prayers for Duggar as well.

NAKED-MOLE SKIN:

Great time this morning to push each other and to see if all this running we are doing is paying off. Chitwood again had the greatest improvement, shaving off over 2 mins. He may not want to admit it, but he is now a runner! Red Hat also set a PR, shaving off over 10 secs from his previous best. Duggar ran the entire route and the pre-run without stopping, which was a goal for him. Nice work! Misty, being a true-him paced and encouraged Duggar on both runs! Olan Mills stayed back with YHC and helped push me up those damn hills! Could not get a sub 24 time, but maybe in September. Yogi led the pack and we may have finally persuaded him to sign-up for the Savannah Race.  Great group of guys at the Morningwood! Thanks for the push and accountability. Rest Stop out! #makebackblastsgreatagain
