Sorry About That Chief!

Agent 51 went on a mission last night to Terry Hershey Park disguised as a runner. His mission was to find out what the Striders training secrets are that result in Vic's continued improvement. Agent 51 planned to bring those secrets back to the Bay Area to even the playing field at future HARRA series races.

First thing I noticed was some Striders milling around some coolers. Maybe Coach Steeeve is spiking their Gatorade? I could not get at the coolers so I kept on running. Next thing I say was signs with Agent 86 on them. What was this? Obviously some Strider trick to confuse me. And then the man himself, Vic, loomed out of the darkness from under a bridge running smoothly like he was out for a stroll. The jig was up. I hightailed it down the path and circled back a little later for another reconnoitre.

They were standing in a circle and hopping! Again I circled back for one more time. Now the circle was doing some strange movements of legs and arms on one side. That's enough, time to report back to HQ. Maybe I'll go in the backyard and do some hops. Actually, my favorite hops are in St. Arnolds IPA.

I did get in 4 miles on my spying mission and 15 miles this morning at Seabrook trails. Probably won't blog until next Wednesday, I need to go to a safe house for a few days.

ok, the Cone of Silence for you 51.

I was wondering where you went. Very stealthy on those last two approaches. I never saw the elusive Joe again. You really should have joined us. Fun!! Fun!!

Too funny! Please don't leave the rest of us in the dark - let us have a peek at the report, too!

OK, 51, more spying options at Terry Hershey this Monday and this Thursday at 7pm. Everybody was well-behaved at The Hop so we'll actually do some running at these workouts. You are cordially invited to join the fun.

They're definitely up to something. Something twisted I'm sure.
