Read moreYHC arrived after a slow mosey to Sherwood to see cars of EC runners already parked. Schlitz, Palin, and Greenspan soon came charging up at their 7 min/mile pace to join Chisel, Dr Toot, Boomerang, and Tammy. Tammy placed the shovel flag and we...
Read moreAs YHC turned the calendar it was one of several reminders that I’m weeks away from my 65th birthday – medicare supplement mailers, social security statements, and Facebook posts showing fitness levels that indicate longevity and...
Read moreNew Year’s Day didn’t come with fireworks — it came with 26s. It’s like 11s … but more … much more. The PAX circled up for a brief (cough) warmup and onto the Thang, where they quickly learned this wasn’t a standard ladder...

Read moreBy my own dubious, non-scientific calculations, the merry band of Red Liners ran circa 250 miles this year in various bursts and 100, 200, 400, 800 meters and up and down hills. We ran our warm up lap over 50 times and never once did a side...
