YHC arrived early in the gloom this morning to a cool 62 degrees and a quick walk around while Grover got some additional shuteye in the car. I was greeted by a Racoon perched on a tree, and wondered if he had cleaned up the Marsh for us. He disappeared …
Mondays have recently been turned into an all cinder block beatdown with no running, which is exciting news for a few of our banged up PAX. I took it upon myself to Q a block workout for the first time to challenge myself. Disclaimer/warning was given and off we stayed …
On Saturday, May 16th, six men arrived at the parking lot of Metairie Baptist Church to run 13.1 miles around New Orleans and Metairie. Two weeks earlier War Eagle made the mistake of telling YHC that he was considering running his first half, but he didn’t know when it would …

YHC has a Cousin-in-law, Happy F3 BHam, that was bringing his 2.0, Wild Guy, to F3 Dad’s camp. Seaman & Sandbar had attended in 2018 and came home with nothing by praise. YHC decided to bring the 2.1, Beauregard (4) up to Camp Crosby for the weekend. We arrived at …
