On Saturday, May 16th, six men arrived at the parking lot of Metairie Baptist Church to run 13.1 miles around New Orleans and Metairie. Two weeks earlier War Eagle made the mistake of telling YHC that he was considering running his first half, but he didn’t know when it would …
Well, it may not have been how EiEi originally imagined it, but on this January night the weather couldn’t have been much better, especially considering the threat of torrential rain from the west. The PAX began to gather after sun set as the electricity of the evening’s main event began …
