Read moreAn extra day to workout with our friends this year! YHC left late to join the Run Club before TRQ and encountered Bam on his way back to Speas so turned around and he was kind enough to slow to a mosey the rest of the way. He got in the 2 miles...
Read moreA delightful chilly morning at TRQ. Five of us started with a EC run (well, 4 ran while YHC did a slow mosey) and got that out of our system before the no-running workout. The Singing Cowboy, Wobegon, Bam, and Doublewide did all the running. Then...
