Ode to Our Track

Northeast Tennessee

45 degrees and clear skies as 4 Pax posted with cinders. YHC has been infrequently present in the gloom and thought Qing would be the best way to test out any horkiness.  Apparently that translates to cardio.

THE THANG
Pax ran around the track, stopping at each cardinal direction.

First part: (note: those who didn’t carry their coupon a full lap, did 10 squats at the beginning – thus spacing out the pax and providing order in the universe)

  • South – pax moved laterally doing merkins along the blocks. Merkin on the left side of the first block, uneven merkin with right hand on the block, block merkin, uneven merkin with left hand on the block, merkin between the blocks, uneven merkin right hand on second block, block merkin, uneven merkin with left hand on the block, merkin on right side of block – Total: 9 Merkins
  • Continue moseying in lane 1 to the east side.
  • East – frog jump from lane 1 to lane 8 and mosey to North end.
  • North – do the same 9 merkins going in the other direction. Mosey to west in lane 8.
  • West – frog jump from lane 8 to lane 1.
  • Rinse and repeat x 3 laps.

Second part:

  • Same general moseying around the lap with the lane switching.

CIRCLE OF TRUST
PRAYER
MOLESKIN
A poem by Gutterball

We’ll miss you dear track

How we plant in the West

Even better when it’s raining

Because it penetrates the best

When the flag flies high, and the spade hits the Earth

We know it’s time to start the Q, for better or for worse

We’ll miss how one corner is cold.

How running around you makes us feel old

How we do legs to the South

And abs to the North

The chatter from our mouth

Means you gave us a good course

Dips in the East, or merkins hand release

And that mile from Jester, that has no mercy

When it rains you give us a lake

Or two, or three

And sometimes with worms, so many we see.

Sometimes we sprint, back and forth to the light

But some of us sprint to your crack that feels just right.

We flipped lots of tires and carried lots of logs

And when we run clockwise, it always seems odd

Sometimes we share you when others fly by

Remember that time we called the cops on that guy.

So, our dear track we pay respects today

Cause tomorrow you’ll be fenced and closed for our play.

So we’re not going to pout, be sad, or sit

We thank you dear track – for getting us fit
