5 Burpee starved men met in the brisk City Park gloom hoping to earn their turkey and dressing this week. There was some necessary needling of Amnesty for missing his Q yesterday. YHC decided to stick with the new Moss Street route, extending it two blocks past Canal to get it closer to 4.5 miles. After a quick disclaimer we we set off
The Thang
Run past the museum and out of the park. Head Southish on Bayou St. John / Moss St. Continue 2 blocks past Canal, then turn around and come back to the flag running along the other side of the Bayou. All the while, stopping every 6 minutes to do one minute of burpees/recovery. Once everyone gets back to the flag we seal the deal with 10 additional burpees.

- In reality the route was about 4.3 miles. I think we can stretch it out to Banks and make it 4.5.
- Great job this morning. I think everyone ran this route faster this week than last week. Everyone was under the 10 min/mile pace. Time to add more burpees?
- For some reason Shorty and SFx decided it would be a good idea to try to fit in 15 burpees at each stop. T-claps to them for getting in 100 burpees this morning.
- The dew on the banks of the bayou is much thicker and wetter than other places. #Science
- The Ideal gas station near Parkway Bakery has gas for $1.53 #Corn
Shout Out
We prayed for those facing physical ailments and poor health during the holidays.
It was also great to see the tales of three SEC football power houses at the finish line. Arkansas & Ole Miss were in a tight heat for 1st place. I think Hawg threw some last second desperation behind him, but who knows. LSU brought up the rear although SFX definitely finished stronger than the team (Tclaps for SFX bringing it up). Great start to the day in the cold gloom!
Faced with the certainty that Shorty was going to beat me to the finish line, I threw myself backwards over OSHA’s truck landing at the water fountain as Shorty passed. Shorty still would have won, but he was penalized for unsportsmanlike burpees when we sealed the deal.
Hey Shorty…Bite Me!
Luckily no one from Toledo or Memphis showed up today.
Hey, I would like to join you Tuesday. Where at City Park do you meet?
Hi, we meet on Roosevelt Mall. It is off of Marconi Dr. between Tad Gormley and the I-610 underpass. There is a drinking fountain in front of the Softball field next to the Olympic Track. We plant the flag there at 0530. Here is a link to the map: http://f3nation.com/schedules/new-orleans-la-2/
