Growing up in the Bluegrass state, the first Saturday in May was always a holy day of obligation for YHC. Now in New Orleans with Jazzfest, my faith has evolved. But today the PAX indulged YHC in some Kentucky Derby minutiae. WARM UP – Slow mosey to WWI Memorial and …
Due to a weekend of crawfish, second-lines, retirement party, and jazzfest, the fearless Q had lost his voice. So after a quick warmup of side-straddle hops, windmills, and imperial walkers, the silent, but deadly workout began. The circuit order was drawn in chalk on the ground of the picnic area. …

YCH needed no alarm early Friday. Sky Q took care of that with a pretty spectacular lightening storm that got cranked up around 4:50. I have yet to miss a workout due to weather but I do have a decent amount of mouths to feed so I reached out to …
