The BackBlast:

Well winter storm Orlena brought about 9 inches or more of snow to the Indian Valley over the course of two days (Sunday through Tuesday). I guess plowing the driveways and parking lots at The Chieftain AO are not very high on Franconia Township’s list of priorities. With no way to get safely into our beloved AO, YHC quickly pivoted and selected Oak Ridge Elementary School (a land of freshly plowed and well lit parking lots) as our temporary meeting spot for the workort.

2 PAX ventured out and completed a great workout together at this new spot.

The Thang:

A loop around the school was a little over 1/4 mile, so I guess this is a Merkin Mile with extra credit.

There were a few slick spots (that apparently Spike was much more skilled at finding than YHC) but no one wiped out! Perhaps my trail running shoes helped with that??

Summary:

Total Distance – 3.16 miles

Total Merkins – 100

Total Burpees – 48

My Strava said we were moving at a 10:07/mi pace for 31:59. Spike will MOST CERTAINLY achieve his goal of running the upcoming Pursuit of the Pancake 5K in March in under 30 minutes. I have no doubt in my mind…though I will continue to make my Q’s heavy on the mosey just for your brother 🙂

Prayers for clarity in thought.
