The question I've been getting lately is where did El Tigre come from. Great question and with the answer comes a funny story. Well I consider it funny but then again I find anything I do funny.
When I first met Frances we were in Pensacola going through a school for the Navy. We hung out a lot as classmates and I was always trying to impress her. I'd invite her to go out, to play video games (we are electronic technicians), make her meals or make her laugh. While driving around one day I turned to her and told her that I was a tiger and growled. This was an attempt to make her laugh and it worked. I'm sure it was a laugh at me and not with me but whose with the tiger now? She use to always bring this story up to friends or family members once we started dating. Well once while she was telling one of her cousins that I just met I said ya it's true and you shall call me El Tigre.
Why the Tiger theme Jerry? As most of you know I grew up in and around Detroit. With baseball being my favorite sport I loved the Detroit Tigers. Which made my favorite animal a tiger. The first pair of gaiters I bought, from Dirty Girl Gaiters, were a tiger material.

Might not be that great of a story but Frances and I laugh about it everytime it comes up.
Until next time, Happy Running!
