It was a PAX of 4 for the 53rd running of the 610 Stomp. YHC had a goal in mind for today and without Shorty, SFx, and Nip/Tuck around it looked like it could be a record-setting day.
The Thang
A plain ol’ run down the Bayou route as far as you can go and get back in 45 minutes. As far as YHC knows the top of the interstate overpass is the farthest anyone has ever made it. SFx and YHC made it there once when we were doing a 30 second sprint / 30 second walk every 6 minutes.
Like animals running from a flood, we set out 2×2 to reach our goal. I shared my goal with Cowbell about 5 minutes in and he seemed for it. We made it over the overpass and about half way down the far side (3rd light from bottom). We turned around, apparently picking up the pace a little to ensure we made it back on time (therwise, I don’t think our distance record would count). 44:10 after we started, Cowbell crossed the finish line a few seconds ahead of me.
Tool and Amnesty were there to help us seal the deal with 10 burpees.
Moleskin
- T-claps to Cowbell for setting the Stomp’s Distance record today. Records are made to be broken, so let’s see what happens.
- Cowbell and I actually had a negative split on the 3rd mile. It was our fastest at about 7:54 min/mile pace. Our slowest mile was our first mile at just under 8:30 min/mile pace. That’s what having a partner and a goal will push you to do.
- I didn’t realize it until I started writing the backblast, but today’s workout began the Stomp’s 2nd year. Here is the backblast from the first stop 1 year ago.

Prayers for Brady, Mason, and Cowbell’s aging grandparents. Please pray for Cable Guy. His wife Melissa passed away Monday. Here is a link to a fund his friends have put together.
