Pre: YHC has spent the last few days quarantined in my mother in law apartment, away from everyone unless double masked. Every ache and pain, every sniffle and cough a possible harbinger of impending doom and mortality.  So it was some relief to receive the negative test result and to […]
After earthquakes, tornadoes and rain and rain yesterday, four guys came out for a 97 percent humidity run.  The run was a down and up type run Norwood to Mulberry to the Kentwood neighborhood to College to Harper. I instructed the 3 seven minute milers to go after it as […]
With the forecast of rain wasn’t sure what size group we would have. However these guys are committed and we had 7 men for the workout. Started with the usual warmups ( side straddle hops, storm troopers, humpys). Then one round of circle merkins clockwise and then circle merkins counter […]
There was a call for a substi-Q and I accepted the challenge and attempted to think of a way to be creative.  I’m not wired like that my mind kept going back to Time.  We measure it on a watch, calendar, season, etc but in the end a day is […]

Rolled in to the usual crowd, minus Swinger – on vacation. Luckily Baby Face was there so the mumble chatter was alive and well. I walk in the circle and try to start this thing, but they guys are clucking like hens this morning so I just started anyway… ATT […]
QIC EH’d pax the night before encouraging them to bring a towel, that they would definitely get wet.   upon morning arrival, spokes seemed to be the only one prepared.  Bismarck (Pre running from house plus a few miles didn’t feel the desire as if it would burden his run, […]
Pre: Word went out pretty early from folks who wouldn’t be able to make it for this mornings beating. Spokes is jetting around the country burning down lumberyards to keep his stock options up, and Babyface has been roped into leading a group of some other guys that just couldn’t […]
Day 3 of the week for a Babyface Q. I had missed my 5 for 5 chance by oversleeping Infinity, so I was ready to go for The Den. Twin showed up in his eco-friendly truck and no one else for a while. Finally Grout and Hanger roll in, and […]
