The wheels started turning for an Omaha.\u00a0 YHC scouted out for shelter to keep the pax (mostly) dry while still giving opportunity for some running.<\/li>\n<li>Schlitz and Frostbite were faithful friends to show up for the EC run at 0500. YHC sacked on them last week after not sleeping well.\u00a0 T-Claps, boys.\u00a0 Y\u2019all were flying.\u00a0 You guys should probably do something stupid like run an Ultra Ragnar.<\/li>\n<li>YHC\u2019s Bluetooth has been commandeered by his 13-year-old 2.0 daughter. As she doesn\u2019t seem to want much to do with me right now, YHC took it as a compliment that he still has some value to her.\u00a0 Fortunately, the Duck had both a speaker and tunes.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of: considering the weather conditions, the Duck was relatively mild today.\u00a0 He just went to work.<\/li>\n<li>Zima showed up quietly, uncharacteristically. He didn\u2019t stay quiet.\u00a0 He had many things to say including how stupid Cherry Pie is and how Thistle is old which explains why he (Thistle) always asks \u201cWho is this?\u201d when people text him.<\/li>\n<li>Rollback and Zima were out front all morning, blazing fast, clearing the puddles for the rest of us. YHC kept his word to Rollback to modify if the weather decided not to cooperate.<\/li>\n<li>Great to see Rachel Ray out this morning after meeting him at The Christmas Party Friday night. He\u2019s got a can do positive spirit about him.<\/li>\n<li>Bagpipe was another who was rolling through the reps; we should have retrieved a block for him to provide a more sufficient challenge.<\/li>\n<li>Green Acres disregarded the absence of a pullup bar and clung by his fingernails to the frame of the church door. YHC heard him say \u201cYou poor mere mortals.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Bevo was helpful in keeping YHC\u2019s legs somewhat balanced by running the loop in alternating directions. He was another who apparently wanted Tabata rather than what we got.<\/li>\n<li>Scrooge is another newish pax that, YHC can tell, is going to be a front-runner. It was great to meet him.\u00a0 He\u2019s a Wells Fargo banker for you other gold rushers out there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It was great to be with you all this morning and especially excellent to see several new faces becoming regulars.<\/p>\n<p>Ducky, thanks for the keys.
