Muricans for Murica

On a crisp windy morning at the lakefront, YHC pondered a pivot from his plans to instead hit the boardwalk and run the workout amid the crashing waves spit forth from the angry lake.  But that looked kinda cold and wet, so instead he decided to stick with the plans: celebrating …

Can the H8! be Conquered?

Okwata continues to thrive.  We showed up 10 strong on a more humid than hoped for October morning for an Okwata inspired fitness test.  The warm-up today consisted of a mosey to the foot of Canal. The Thang Each lap consists of running south to the top of the levee, …

Shorty’s R&R

Happy Birthday To Me, Happy Birthday To Me, Happy Birthday Dear Rudy, Happy Birthday To Me 10 PAX appeared in the morning Okwata gloom, gathering around a real Shovel Flag (apparently JV has been stashing it in his trunk).  YHC’s phone read a sultry 82 degrees.  Perfect weather for a celebratory …

Stargazing

With a full moon up this morning, it was time for stargazing. As Bellocq explained to the PAX before YHC was reminded he was Q this morning, Orion has his belt taut as he aims his bow at the eye of Taurus, the bull, even though (at least this morning) …
