Mosey around the lot for Carioca both ways, backwards and forwards run, then continue the mosey to the north lot for GM / IW / SSH / CP / SM / PJ / MC. [Read More]

Feels Like 100

Oh, Rush Hour in the summer, how wonderful you are. YHC had an over/under of 4 pax for this hot one. Weather.com said it was 92 but “feels like 100”. FIVE WERE THERE, BOOM!

We’ll never know…but here’s what we did. [Read More]

And feeling a little behind the curve following last years nipple run, it’s time to get into hill shape. Warm Up jog around the parking lot and circle up for various warmup exercises including runners stretch. [Read More]
