“Welcome to Run Strong. I am your Q, String Bean. I am not a professional. A little history lesson for everyone. Run Strong is a Run Eccentric AO. This means that we run. And we do some random weird exercises along the way. Enough talking. Follow me.”

This was the start to an epic beatdown.

No out and back route on this one.

We moseyed down to the picnic shelter at the bottom of the hill.

10 Step Ups IC

15 Dirkins IC

Mosey to the bleachers behind right field.

10 Dips IC

15 Clorox Merkins IC (This is where the PAX knew they were in trouble. Especially us bird chested runners)

Mosey to The Two Towers

Break into two teams.

Team 1 will run up Tower 1 then Tower 2, hitting every step

Team 2 will run up Tower 2 then Tower 1, hitting every step

Meet in the middle for Plank-O-Rama for the 6.

Rinse and repeat.

Meet in the middle for PAX choice Mary

Recover

“Which Tower does everyone like the most?”

Tower 2 was the popular answer.

So we ran Tower 1 one last time as one group, hitting every step.

Irritable Leg Syndrome was kicking in, big time.

Random Mary for the 6.

Recover!

Follow the Q to College Hill crosswalk.

“This will be a short statement of instruction, with a lot of pain following… Run backwards up College Hill. All the way to the top. Go.”

This was not fun after the Tower beatdown.

Mosey back to ESP via the darkened Greenway.

Back to the bleachers.

More dips and Clorox merkins.

Mosey to the shelter.

Step Ups.

Jail Break to the flag.

0615 on the dot.

The PAX seemed smoked. Especially the Q.

Twas an epic beatdown!

We had prayers and praises, circled up shoulder to shoulder, moment of silence and a brief prayer.

SUPPORT THE 100 MAN DINNER! ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP!
