YHC pulled up for a run and had 2 others show up so we decided for a Taylor Farm 4 mile route. We had some great mumble chatter for this run, talking about family, the holidays and what we plan to do next year. It was great to catch up with Opus and Bulkhead this morning. Nice cool weather and a great recovery run pace. Numberama, Namerama and Opus took us out in prayer.
One PAX took to the Gloom, Rain, and Wind for today’s edition of the south Florida shuffle. Temps were 70 and sunny. According to Jim Cantore, the following might have happened: Conditions: winds 30-45 MPH, heavy rain, 75 degrees. Route: North ~2.5 miles on the boardwalk, then the nature walk, back by the same route. Wise Men not present. NMS: This was YHC’s second consecutive week to be fortunate in his business travel location – south Florida on the water. Nice. That said, conditions were difficult. Very high winds and heavy rain at times. This was YHC’s first decent length…
One PAX launched into the south Florida Gloom. Conditions were remarkably close to 70 and sunny, albeit with a lump of humidity. According to the 80-year old man on a bicycle, the following more or less happened: Route: South on the Hollywood Boardwalk, then north. R/T just about 3.5 miles. Walking pace, due to calf injury. Number, name, YHC took himself out. NMS: YHC has been nursing a recurring calf injury since mid-November. It’s painful (see Pyle, Gomer). In addition, it’s a downer. Walking trumps doing nothing, but nothing trumps being fit enough to work out. Important lesson to remember.…

YHC said that this was not going to be an annual workout last year, but YHC cannot be trusted. YHC saw an opening Q spot for Wdog and swiped it up. YHC used to not like Christmas music and despised it, and would only listen to it on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but that has changed in YHC’s old age. Now YHC LOVES Christmas music, listens to it all the time from post Thanksgiving on up to the day after Christmas. YHC spent the week listening to all up-tempo Christmas music to improve upon last years Christmas playlist. YHC…
