Temperature was down to 37 this morning at the Gipper, which was not quite low enough for a winter wonderland (or sleeves for YHC), but cold enough for some reindeer games. As a kid, if you asked me what the best part of Christmas was, the easy answer was presents. …
I know it says Zoolander was the Q for this one, but that’s only because YHC’s name isn’t on the dropdown menu yet. And, it was ultimately Zoo’s idea to get the fellas from down the bayou to Q a November Lakefront beatdown, and we couldn’t be more grateful! YHC …
Talk about a dark warmorama. About the only definable figure I could make out was, well nobody, really, since Shooter wasn’t there. Of course I knew Jose was present from the early morning grumbling, but the rest of the crew were shrouded in mystery. Given such circumstances, YHC delivered a …
YHC believes streaks were meant to be broken, and then celebrated. Cal Ripken wasn’t penciled in for game number 2,633. DiMaggio went 0-fer in game 57. The Patriots couldn’t overcome a miracle play from David Tyree and Ei Manning and finished the season 18-1. YHC can only eat the same …
Pretty nice weather, a little on the humid side, but that’s picking nits, for the final week of the 2021 Iron Pax at the Lakefront this morning. Between a storm, a sinus infection, and vacation, YHC has been MIA for most of this year’s IPC, so my goal was to …
15 braved the Lakefront on a beautiful day for a beatdown, 1 in a stroller. No, it was not Bushwacker. The 2nd day of IPC week 1 was upon us, and the plan was to have 2 Q’s. Jose 10k took the 2nd Q with a plan for football, but …
8 strong this morning for Week 1. YHC proctored and DJ’d while 7 went to work. Cowbell dropped by after his run for some F2. Finishing times were: Bean 35.10 BBQ 43 (modified) Jose 10k 43 (modified) Einstein 44.15 Barely Legal, Moby Dick and Maverick were close to finishing but …
6 HIM arrived at the Milestone Marsh with a late 0700 start for a Labor Day Murph. Conditions: Blistering hot and no wind WU – SSH, Self-Love, High Knees, IW x10 The first run was great, possible YHC’s fastest ever – maybe even a PR. We finished up and headed …
YHC arrived early in the gloom to plant the flag’s, knowing that the pre-thang crew would see it and wonder what was in store. Jose 10k an Tanked Up! came running up from the 2 miler and settled in with 5 others as we began the warm-up. Conditions: mid 70’s, …
YHC was taught in 2nd or 3rd grade that if you want to attract eyeballs to your writing, you need a hook: a catchy title or an opening sentence or paragraph that draws attention. I may not always be successful, but that’s my goal with these. I had no hook …
