#suebroketheeverything

And to think I was just going to blame her for breaking the Corey-badger.  Then my wife asks if I saw the Facebook update...and I learn that Sue went and broke the everything.  :-/

The workout:
I was considering heading over to the "bad idea" hill, to let people get some big hill work in before the Boilermaker and the Mussel-hustle, but I just don't feel like pushing that.  But, it is either that or 1/4 mile repeats, whatever the group consensus is during the pre-game talk.  Choose wisely!

The news:
Team Beef pulled the flank-steak out from under us this year and is not doing the post Boilermaker meal.  So, in an attempt to get people to use their coupons for a free Boilermaker burger, here is my thought -  Team Beefers (and friends) that are up for it, can carpool from Liverpool (the park makes sense) starting at 9 AM on Saturday, the 13th.  Or you can meet at the expo some time after 10.  After getting our Team Beef gifts and shirts and meat rubs, and milling around the expo for a while scavenging for worthwhile freebies , we leave there at 11ish to meet at one of the restaurants by 11:30.  We do a team, beef loading lunch, then drive back to Syracuse.  Which should get us back to cars by 1:30.  Who wants in?  It'll be more fun than a barrel full of beef medallions!  OK, I just made that one up, but I do hope a few of you can do this for the camaraderie.

The tease:
Escalade's snowboard guide is putting together an obstacle course race at Greek Peak in mid-September.  I am going to attempt to have an update or two about it, with a behind the scenes view of what it's like to put together a race for the first time, specifically an obstacle course race.  I will find it interesting, so hopefully others will as well.

The big news:
I feel these two songs say it all.

The obvious one -


And the subtle one (at 42 seconds it starts to pay off) -
