The Pelch
Running for your life
Run Cajun run has all of us in a tizzy. Like a child sprinting the first 100 yards of a 5k. Although some approach this endeavor as a way to slowly improve your cardiovascular health while also supporting a cause, YHC also identifies as a competitor. YHC thought and thought about ways to increase mileage but also stay within the boundaries of the “embrace the suck” motto we’ve all come to love through ground teeth.
Alas, the answer came:

Thang1:
A simple and gentle Indian run from the Pelch to EDW track. This is usually at 400 yd mosey. YHC found through the miracles of the internet, that if one only took left handed turns the destination is exactly 1.1 miles. Coincidence, I think not.
This mosey was supposed to be a warmup, something to get the blood moving. Around mile .475, Enron was confronted with a supposed pipe. This began the great fall of 2024. Chris Berman was there, somewhere is the abyss. Chanting his famous “mumblin..bumblin..stumbling..”. We all were amazed at how Enron somehow fell in slow motion. But recovered with a tuck and roll that would make Ken Shamrock proud. The imdian run finished up at the track, and thang 2 was introduced.
The PAX lined up along the goaline of the football field. The suicide would take place in 5 yd increments. Each odd yd line would represent the number of high knees to complete and each even would be squats. This would be
run- perform-nur back. (5-50yds).
50 squats suck.

Sprints.
When this thang was explained, YHC could feel a tangible excitement in Honeysuckle. Much like when your parents took you to the mall for church shoes and your dad gives you the subtle nod to check out Toys-R-Us.
On the track we would complete a pyramid sprint workout.

200 yd dash
300 yd dash
400 yd dash
Each PAX recorded their time and that number corresponded with their SSH count. Once at the top of this , we had to descend in the same fashion. A switch from SSH to LBC.

All were gassed and we moseyed back to the flag. For a little Mary.
