    OGs + 1

    Qing for OGs/Tractors is pretty straightforward. Create routes, send them out by Wednesday, and of course, know your route. Well, I was two of three this morning when we made a wrong turn out of the HOPE track coming back to Hanes Park and 6.2 miles turned into 7.2 miles.  The Thang: Other Guys: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6679060286/…

    A Stroll Down Memory Lane

    It was a beautiful morning to run through my memory lane. Today’s routes passed my old apartment in College Village as well as the corner where I wrecked my bicycle, which then led to me to meet my wife.

  • It’s Playoff Time!

    Rollback was nursing an injury, so he called many people to try and Q for him. When they all said no, he lastly turned to me and I humbly accepted the responsibility. The theme was easy – my favorite sport just started the playoffs, so the Gun portion would be NBA-themed. The Thang: We launched…

  • Bring Your Popcorn

    In looking for a theme for today’s workout, I discovered it was a day worth celebrating, with such national holidays as National Tweed Day or National Burrito Day. Alas, my interest was piqued when I saw it was also National Film Score Day. I chose some favorites from a Spotify playlist of “Best Film Scores”,…

  • Try Your Best

    I was joined in the early morning Gloom by Bam & Wobegon, who welcomed me back with open arms to the TRQ Run Club. On the way back, we had the absolute honor of being joined by Burns, the only member of the 0505 group, and I realized it’s been way too long since I’ve…
