15 Pax arose at an early hour to enjoy the unexpectedly mild early March weather with your YHC.  YHC was very thankful for the good turnout, anxious to get started (which we did at 5:30 am sharp), and to show the Natville Pax a couple of things he had learned from his posts over the past couple of weeks in different regions.  It went down something like this:

Warmerama

SSH X 20 in cadence

Mummy Kickers X 10 in cadence (no worries about any future Rockettes coming from this group)

Cotton Pickers X 20 in cadence (thank you for the idea F3 Alpharetta)

Sun Gods X 15 in cadence

Reverse Sun Gods X 15 in cadence

The Thang

YHC instructed the pax to do a nice easy run through the Starmount neighborhood by running the following route:

Starmount to Wedgedale

Wedgedale to Madison

Madison to West Avondale

West Avondale to Edgewater

The Sugar Ray’s were able to get in a little extra credit running before the 6 arrived.  Once the 6 arrived YHC instructed them to run a little further.  Calculus immediately said “I feel a Nancy special is coming”.  However any association between YHC and Nancy quickly evaporated when YHC led the pax down one street too far before returning to Homewood. #honortobecomparedtoNancy #I’mnoNancy

Once arriving at the correct location YHC instructed the pax with the following:

1st hill run:  Run backwards up the hill until it crests, do 10 LBC’s, run back down and do 10 LBC’s and wait on the six (backwards run was real crowd pleaser; thank you F3 Atlanta)

2nd hill run:  Run backwards halfway up hill then run forwards until it crests, do 10 LBC’s, run back down and do 10 LBC’s and wait on the six

3rd hill run:  Run to top of hill where it crests and run back down and begin the journey back to the shovel flag.

YHC was a little too ambitious with the running plan and Site Q Cheesy Poof wisely stepped in to cut the run short so we could make it back to the shovel flag for an abbreviated Mary (thanks Cheesy Poof)

Fantastic effort by the Pax at the Stampede.  The weather and the effort were definitely in sync.  A run of at least 3.5 miles was done by all the Pax (the Sugar Ray’s/Wedgewood Pax got even more).  Also big thanks to LYnda for helping YHC get his iPhone recorder going (running diminished YHC’s brain function).

COT:  Calculus took us out with an awesome prayer
