“You either get better, or you get worse… you never stay the same” – Professional Athlete / Coach
A Pax of eight (7 men & 1 K9) met around….nothing…. where are the Shovel Flags?!? Does the Uptown Pax use them for picnic blankets or warming cuddlers (e.g. Snuggies) at their AOs?
It would make sense due to colder temps we are experiencing this Wintummer.
I’m off topic…apologies… let’s get to it, but first….DISCLAIMER….
The Thang
Typical bayou route, but turn around after 10 minutes. Stop every 6 min for a round of Merkins. I believe the whole Pax made it to bridge on Bayou St John to turn around (Tclaps). After the run, the Merk count was 90 (3 sets x 30 Merks).
Since it’s Valentine’s Day, and we need to look good for our ladies, YHC explained the 2/14 routine, which was 2 burpees / 14 merkins. We did a round of this at the track entrance to bring our Merk count to 104. Quick mosey over to the track.
Sprint Work: Pax sprinted 100 meters, performed the 2/14 routine, walked 50 meters, moseyed 50 meters, repeat. We did 3 laps, which equals 6 rounds; and it brought our merk count up to 188.

Pax believe YHC makes this stuff up…sometimes… but in reality, the credit has to go to Shaun T. Either way, it sucks….and that’s the point!
Back to the track. We did a 40 Merks / 4 Lap Challenge for the remaining 10 min. Pax completed this easily. Merk count to 228.
Since we had a VSF, we gathered at the track entrance due to time, where we held the COT, which included Countoff, Nameorama, and Prayer (for the sick, families of the sick, and for all to respect one another.)
Moleskin
The Pax at the Stomp definitely got better today! They were flying through the park and around the track. The track team even raised an eyebrow or two this gloom! Best of all, Cowbell was sucking wind:
Kim Chi is still raising the bar for most consecutive post in 2017. I believe he surpassed 40! To some, that may be respectable, but what’s better than 40 you say?? Yes, it is in fact 50! I mean, you don’t get “respect” until you’re in the 50 and older club.
