Moleskine

  • If a marathon was easy, it would be called your mom

  • Grip did his pre-read homework and came prepared with race anecdotes

  • Q again had issues with his watch, but some were user error.Q forgot to start the tracker until the second lap then inadvertently reset it when checking the time. I am estimating we covered 2.0 miles on our not drawn to scale marathon

  • Little bird tells me there is a belated birthday in the swamp (Respect)

  • Grip groans likened to a bear sound.When I/C excerises go up to 20, the Grip balloon starts slowly releasing bear sound pressure

  • Quarry relocation committee is in its formational stages to evaluate change of venue for Tuesdays to mix things up, and not as a commentary on the Q. Key requirements for locale include 1) props and 2) no hills.Stay tuned
