Only three creatures were stirring this morning. Marv would have been proud of the route selection today. North on Commonwealth, east on Monument, run for 23 minutes and turn around and back to the flag. We were rewarded for getting up this mrning with the quietest day of he year. Hitch and I launched at 5am and ran straight down the middle of Grove. All the way to 3chopt and back and never had to move out of the middle of the street. And, we saw exactly zero other people on Grove between 5 and 530. First car we saw…
Today is Chum Bucket’s birthday! The PAX was ready for a party. White Deer was even prepared to sing HBD to Chum via flatulence. Only problem, Chum apparently wanted to sleep in. It was almost as if he has lost his youthful excitement for his birthday. I guess the years of respect have that effect. Anyway, that left 3 noble warriors carrying a hot potato.

Seven pre-Christmas warriors joined YHC for what will not be an annual work out. At the request of Hitch YHC prepared a Christmas music playlist to accompany the workout. YHC is not a DJ and relied upon the Spotifiy gods to recommend holiday season themed workout tunes, and a mashup of obscure songs that make brief references to the Christmas season ensued. In writing this now YHC realizes that no disclaimer was given at the start as to YHC’s lack of professional training credentials. We started off with some light stretching, right leg over left leg and hold it, then…
