BACKBLASTS

YHC normally isn’t a big Saturday workout guy. But there are boxes to be checked and swag to be claimed, so this Saturday it is off to the Green Mile. YHC shows up early to confirm that we can still break into the track, but amazingly there is a full blown track practice going on. I didn’t think high schoolers were physically capable of being awake that early on a Saturday.

This is YHC’s second Q in the POGL this week as we try to class this place up a bit. This may be the first morning of the year that I would legitimately label as moist. 3 attack the Dino early followed by 11 more boot campers. Nice to see a few new faces in the crowd that YHC has never worked out with before. Pledge and then a run through downtown to the church parking lot where we circle up. [Read More]

38 degrees and clear. 12 men showed up for a little old school fun. And it was an old school kind of crew, what with the likes of Burt, Coney, Riptide, Shut-In, and McCants, but with a splash of slightly newer blood like Hermes, Flip Flop, Lookout, Blowout, Viewmaster, and Happy Gilmore. All in all, a solid group, of which I was the slowest PAX. YHC planned an impeccable Q last week at Shakin’ Not Stirred. [Read More]

YHC legitimately can’t think about this AO and not start singing Kool Moe Dee’s masterpiece in my head. And now you won’t be able to either. You’re welcome. A great crew out for a Monday. Duck arrives in his silent earth-mobile. Mandolin is there without Banjo. Tramp Stamp is back, which makes YHC happy. Hamm is there on the Rehab tour. Shlitz is even there after a 20 miler the previous day.
