Running Interference

YHC woke to the sound of rain, knowing he may have to adjust the planned Beatdown a little. A lot of uphill/downhill sprints were originally planned, but we all know how slippery the tunnel of love gets when wet. YHC arrived a little earlier than usual for the Q, but …

The Grundy-mobile

The PAX knew something was up when YHC walked up to the flag from the backside. When asked about the reason for the strange entrance, a simple “you’ll find out” would suffice. With the PAX aware of something looming, we began to warmup. 30 Seal Jacks IC 10 Forward Lunges …

What the Bleep

CONDITIONS Weather.com predicted a 100% chance of rain, but the conditions are always cozy in the “Hall of Justice” parking structure. #ThanksParishTaxPayers DISCLAIMER YHC forgot the disclaimer.

New Venue at The Gipper

With the forecast showing temps in the 20’s, the night before, YHC confirmed with PAX about a Pre-Thang mile run to help those with ISI, but also to make sure we were all thawed out for The Thang. YHC was offered a “Clown Car” ride to The Gipper and graciously …
