Playing Chicken
It was a beautiful 64 degrees when I pulled into the parking lot for Sling Blade and saw others waiting for the run. I made a map and sent it to Crop Duster the day before and he strongly suggested that I pick another route. Based on this information, I started over and created another […]

The Ocassional “Nod to God”
Giving an occasional “Nod to God” might make us feel like righteous, spiritual minded dudes for a little while, but if we want to experience true fellowship with the Almighty, omnipotent, maker and ruler of heaven and earth, well, fellas, we’ve got to do better than that. A quick prayer here and there does not […]
Learning the Streets of GF
I never know how to write a Backblast for a run only event. There is typically little to no color to write about unless someone gets lost or falls. I chose a couple of streets that we had either not run on before or at least not often. I think the crowd appreciated the variety. Oh […]
