Truth be told, YHC is feeling some pressure on this BB. But, in the words of a sage Carpex veteran: “Keep it vanilla and Q to the site.” - Carman Liuzzo, 57, Burt Wednesday, June 20th, will go down as an EPIC day in Carpex history.

Conned Zip Drive into posting with me early on his Winter break (after a late night out for us all Thursday night), then conned him into trying his hand at a little bit of the Q. We planned to cover about 2 miles on the run, with a 12 Days of Christmas countup. Little surprise for #12. We arrived a little early and put out some course navigational aids. Warmup Run around the pickle CCW, high knees, carioca, buttkickers. [Read More]
