Conditions: 74 and OH THE HUMIDITY. YHC had thought about running round 2 of the Stumble 5K today, but due to lack of advance notice and smoked quads from yesterday’s Blitz launch, called an 11th-hour audible and decided on the Hampton Hill out & back route instead—better known as the Up & Over.

11 pax avoided the Cantorre today and posted in the wet, humid conditions at Thunder. YHC was co-Q with Hee Haw at Battle this weekend. Much to the dismay of the Pax, I stole a few things from Hee Haw’s playbook to share with our brethren at Thunder. The pax were treated to plenty of …
Weather – 74 degrees, 94% humidity, overcast, WTF, summer is back? Splinter was supposed to be our final Q of the month and was going to serve as the last installment of 3 straight #Reynolds Week(s) boot camps at #Hammer, but a call to the bullpen was made after his Fri football game was rescheduled for …
