No Rain, No Gain
All Harrisburg BackblastsFebruary 4th, 2022

1. I know I’m feeling this one right now….hope you all are as well. Can’t get stronger if you don’t push yourself, and you can pack a lot into 45 minutes when you skip that running stuff…
2. Thanks to JD for taking us out, for staying close so I didn’t have to repeat the exercises and for making sure his rubberized dumbbell didn’t bounce my way!
3. Tclaps to Clueless and TBone for the pre-run. I considered it, then went back inside for a bit. The M said I’m getting old and weak. I forcefully and confidently responded with “Getting?!?”
4. Continued prayers for Banjo’s father-in-law, Escalade’s recovery and Hacksaw’s sister, along with all the unspoken needs.
5. Sounds like the BB/BS Harrisburg Bowling Team is shaping up nicely, with two absolutely definite “possibles” this morning.
6. Coffeeteria covered stupid stuff we did as kids, active shooter training, being made available to the industry, insurance people bad, where to break an office window in case of emergency, the pros and cons of having the shelter lights on, downhill treadmill half-marathons and the respect that comes along with a Dopey hat.
7. Mullet has the Q at The Rail Yard tomorrow. Exit is running 18 miles. Pick one….
Cheers!
