Walk The Plank

Another beautiful muggy morning in New Orleans was met by the crew of Audubon Park for what would turn out to be a test of both mind and body (mostly shoulders).  Went as follows: Quick Mosey through the Bag Drop and over to Oak Alley for a warm-up Lunges to …

Blimps and Blimps

It had been many weeks since YHC had been to Rock City.  I felt lost, wandering around the briar patch (i mean grass field).  Would I remember where the rocks were?  Would I remember how to count cadences?  Would Bogey show up to mock me with his singing?  Slowly the …

Two Nola pax met up at the birdcage for another evening of Go Ruck prep. YHC initially thought Thursday evenings might bring a good crowd… You’re missing a chance at some great 2nd F if you’re not showing up. We took off at 18:10 and made our way through the …

Revenge of the 40

Glorious morning on the lakefront, summer humidity is starting to make its presence known.  Pulled in alongside the parked and running cars holding other PAX just waiting to get started.  Yup, that’s Shorty’s car.  And Cowbell.  And ….. Um, no driver in that one.  No PAX either.  Just a ghost car, …

Ruckin And Runnin

Beautiful moring in the gloom.  Low Humidity, Low 60s.  Best time of the year, in YHC’s humble opinion.  Enjoy now, the summer humidity will be here soon enough.  The Ruckers made an early morning appearance, followed by the Runners at the normal 530 start time. The Ruckers: 3.5 miles along …
