Thursday Nov 19, Church Run

It was a crisp and clear morning. Folks wondered down to the track this morning like they were on a Sunday walk through the park. The parade ended around 6.07AM so we huddled together at the foot of the center stairs. Since Amy, Matty, Kaffe, Chris, Carolyn, Gary and Jimmy were the only folks warmed up, we lined up for 200 meter strides. We ran 200s and jogged across the infield. after the 4th, we broke into walking lunges. After 40 or so, we ran up the center stairs and did step/squats across the top ridge. Then we ran to the stump garden for stair step aerobics and standing leg presses. Then we ran to Rivers Rd , did a few more lunges, and sat against the wall. Carolyn asked for and received a shooting star, then The Professor got his wish. We proceeded to Muscogee, did squats, hammered up to Peachtree and did a few more lunges. Once we were all together, we ran all the way to Christ The King courtyard where we continued stair step aerobics. Then we laid down and did half dozen leg and hip exercises. Carolyn saw another one. You know, some folks have all the luck. Our next destination was 2nd Ponce Baptist. We ran to the courtyard in front of the Life center. We held the rail and reeled off another half dozen leg and hip exercises. This was the "Bar" station for the day. Then we ran to the front of the Baptist chapel and did one leg dead lifts before running back to E Rivers down Peachtree.

Lisa is running. Rich is healthy (almost). Slaw dog is smiling. Holly is Jolly. Maria is settling in to marriage. Anne has not missed a day. Jennifer is a robobabe. Shana is all in. Christine is grinding. Matty's participation should liven things up. He takes requests. We are looking forward to a crowd tomorrow. Attrition is the mission. The more folks we start with, the more we drop. Invite a friend. Especially one that thinks they can hang.
