Touch, Touch, and Touch

Yet another delightful New Orleans fall morning: 75 degrees and 100% humidity.  I love fall in the south. YHC had arrived at Rock City early to embark upon a northshore-inspired pre-thang run AND to scout out the planned Q.  Alas – the gates to the football field were chained and …

Staying on Track

“The only bad workout is the one you didn’t do” – Author unknown  Another strong turnout with the PAX this Saturday.  T-claps to Worms for EH-ing a FNG and also to Coxswain for bringing his pops.  T-claps to Rudy for a pre-thang mosey along with joining us for a COP …

Into the Brier Patch

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Michael Jordan YHC arrived early enough to plant the shovel flag and to set up some cones for an Uptowner beatdown. It’s 0530, the disclaimer is given, so nothing holding us back now. Warmup SSH …

The Classic Levee?

YHC needed a change of pace from the loop, the lights and the leg-ups next to a drifter so we spent the morning at the levee. Warm- up on the way: SSH x20, MC x20, Lunge-Throughs x10 At the Levee: 5 burpees  then run up levee & back –  repeat …

A Rough Day

A long anticipated cold front moved through the New Orleans area and YHC woke up to 69 degrees and light rain.  I had noticed it raining throughout the night and was excited about getting down and dirty at Rock City.  8 others joined me at our local flood reservoir.  I …

Dog poo landmine for the Q

Hey Guys – Good beatdown this AM.  Sad that I didn’t mention the Vegas shooting.  #prayforvegas  Now my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those people and their families. We started this rainy gloomy morning with a pre-planned weinke but once I saw 2 FNGs I decided to …

This is Bullshit

A sweet 16 slumped into the gloom this AM to ascend Wolfpack Mountain. After saying the words at the beginning that we’re always supposed to say… a quick mosey over to the front lawn of Tulane… Line up for SSH x 20 Bear Crawl to first oak tree Up on …

Plunging…

Yep, another morning at the pool.  Like Dori said, “Just keep swimming…” And for a special treat:  Yes, JV did have his speedo on under that comfy terrycloth rob.  Oh Joy!!!  Naturally, we were all jealous. The Thing:  Swim 100m for a warmup, then try to swim continuously shorter breaks.  …
