Caterpillar run

A. renamed the "Indian run" to the "Caterpillar Run". This run is structured speed play, where the group runs in a single file line (or a pair of them) at a comfortable pace. The person in back sprints to the front and becomes the pace leader. Then the person in back sprints to the front and becomes the pace leader. Then the person in back...

The term "Caterpillar run" brought back some old memories, which I shared with the group. Now I'll share it with you.

In college I thought of "the worm" (you know, the dance move) as the caterpillar, which physiologically makes more sense to me. I still have a piece of scar tissue that disrupts my feeble whisker growth on the right side of the mental protuberance of my inferior maxillary bone. I picked up this scar when I dropped a tequila induced caterpillar on a group of unsuspecting house guests when "The Humpty Dance" came on the sound system at one of my parties


I put on a lot of miles for me today, between 17 and 18, at least half at a reasonably hard effort. It felt great, and now food and wine taste great.
