So as YaMomAnEm and I arrived in the smallest possible LVCC possible to the AO a small group of men were ready to engage in some Shorty-style sprinting. I don’t own a watch but I knew 5:30 had to be approaching so I casually turned to Rudy and asked, “Is …
Pre-Thang When Hawgcycle posted May’s ISI Challenge, YHC was excited to see that there will be a workout every Sunday. Hawgcycle even called YHC out “@King Kong We have one if someone gets it going.” Without any hesitation, YHC nominated himself to Q the first Sunday Uptown workout. YHC originally …
What a glorious gloom for a gathering of galloping gentlemen outside of Abita Roasting. Always a myriad of mesmerizing mumble chatter can be heard amongst the meandering marauders. And today was no exception, as the tribe of tread heads ran the traditional trial through the tranquil trails (streets) of old …
The Thang Event: The 6th running of the H8! Conditions: 72 degrees, 90% humidity, winds out of the SSE at 4 mph. Participants: 30 Pax including, 7 H8!ers, and 14 first timers. Each lap consists of running south to the top of the levee, crossing canal (bear crawling the neutral …
YHC had a different title in mind for the beatdown today, but God had other plans. YHC arrived at the Muscleship AO ten minutes early in real gloom, rain and lightening. Catfish was already in place and doing somersaults in the rain. Then Bogey appeared out of the gloom. At …
With the rain clouds threatening, and the forecast looking just as ominous, YHC did not know how many PAX would brave the elements for today’s beatdown. Of course, YHC should have known better as 17 men posted on the Mandeville Lakefront despite the rainy, wet conditions. Actually, the rain combined …
Nice turnout at last week’s 10k Au Lait. Interesting conversation on the run and a great way to start a Sunday. A quick reminder; 10k Au Lait is gaining traction, but we need more folks to participate. We meet every Sunday morning at 7:00 at Abita Roasting in Downtown Covington. …
With the sharp rise in temperatures and humidity this week, I think we’d all rather be in an octopus’s garden, in the shade. I’m sorry…. lame, I know. That’s the best lead line YHC could think of. (There were other, lamer ones – trust me.) Where’s Ei when you need …
Fifteen men gathered around 3 shovel flags, disclaimer, and let’s mosey to the track. Two laps and hit the outdoor gym. As we grow and build up to a full Murph, we modified. After the two laps, begin the pull-ups, merkins and squats. Four sets of 5 pull-ups, 10 merkins …
Okwata started with a beautiful moonrise and gentle breeze and then quickly went to CSAUP. After the disclaimer, the PAX moseyed to the Center of the Universe for the warm-up: SSH x 25, Abe Vigoda x 15, Imperial Walkers x 25, Peter Parkers x 20, Parker Peters x 20, Sun …
