The Extra Mile Is Never Crowded

Unless, of course, you’re running in Old Mandeville, where there are always other running crews hitting the pavement before 0500. First off, t-claps to Coconuts for showing up with some reflective running schwag, instantly making the pax both safer and giving us that “seasoned runner” look (so that when the …

Rise When the Rooster Crows (or, Do Monkey Humpers when the Rooster Crows)

Granny’s house is the only real wild card in the northshore schedule these days.  While other AO’s maintain a consistent crew, Granny’s House can fluctuate greatly.  And it’s kinda nice not knowing what you’ll get – sometimes it’s 8-10 pax, other times it’s 2.  For two weeks in a row, …

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 …

Getting Our Money’s Worth at Grandma’s House for Ringo’s Virgin Q.

Honeymoon Sandy

Writing this as I’m about to take off to Chicago. Everyone got to meet my Sandy this morning (or honeymoon Sandy as Ringo called her because we can only assume that she will never be this light again.) Sandy is a 45 pound sandbag. Sandy was supposed to make her …

A Miscue at the Marsh

This morning’s beatdown had no creative themes and no coupons were used. There were no musical numbers. And this backblast (probably) won’t have any rhyming couplets. And that is because this beatdown, though it was to be led by the always-reliable and always-creative Grundy, was, in fact, Grundy-less. But that …
