[chubby-hubby] The Official Chubby Hubby

DATE: 2023-03-20 AO: Chubby-Hubby Q: baracus PAX: turkey_leg, Orange Whip, Mr Brady, funky_cold, ductwork, geraldo, baracus, Rhapsody FNGs: None COUNT: 8 The first documented Chubby Hubby took place at least as far back as late 2021. So roughly a year and a half later and we now have the first “on-the-books” version this morning. Credit another Old Bell parking lot run to Horsehead, this one being significantly more kind to the body than the other one that has seen its share of BRR trainees and an occasional strange man in his underwear (and sometimes not) smoking a cigarette at 5:30am while staring down the runners cruising past his driveway. No Chester’s this AM, but the infamous ghost-lady was spotted quietly sneaking past us in the opposite direction…twice.
We had a nice, nearly record crowd this morning. The idea of a recovery run on Monday morning is picking up steam. 4 or 5 flat miles on the greenway is a great way to get the blood pumping and the joints moving after a weekend of working in the yard, watching March Madness, or just doing a few arm curls with your favorite frosty beverage. We hope to see a few more pax join us in the warmer weather coming in the next few weeks.
Signed, Your Chubby Hubby mascot (Baracus)
