Silly Yeti - Alcatraz inmates escaped
Today, the Fort hosted some crazy CSAUP called the Yeti. I am not sure why someone would want to run 17+ miles just for fun, but as I drove to the island where Alcatraz is, I drove through this cool swarm of bright…

Some old School, EVEN better new skool
10 PAX made the better choice on this cold morning to post at the Ballroom instead of some slacker lawyers AO (doesn't he know that Truckers run over Lawyers??). I was expecting a larger crowd since most of the PAX…

8 B.L.I.M.P.S Stations and a Sleeping Truck Driver
"Hard core" would be how I described the PAX that posted to The Ballroom this very cold morning of 25 degrees. No complaints by anyone. Not sure that YHC would have posted if not for being on Q. Knowing that it would be…

When the Weinke Comes Up Short...
Not wanting to run and stay fresh for this morning's Q was not in the cards when half the Pax sent me messages asking what time we were running (more like Cerrano and Maximus). 0445 was the answer and so YHC, Cerrano…
