Winter is Coming

YHC arrived at the AO a few minutes early. Was YHC the first to arrive today? Wait, who are the others huddled in their vehicles? Is it cold? No, not yet, but Winter is Coming. And who are the guys putting make up on? Since that is a question YHC …

Three’s Company

Hints of winter air Fartsacking brothers are missed Three post strong and true Warmarama: Merkins (20 IC) SSH (25 IC) Merkins (15 IC) Imperial Walkers (20 IC) Merkins (15 IC) The Thang:  3.83 miles, 35.25 min, 9:14 min/m pace Mary: Captain Thor (Build to 5:20 OYO) LBCs (25 IC) Right …

And Then There Were Three

One of YHC’s favorite songs: from Genesis’ 1978 album And Then There Were Three.  Sure enough, as 5:30 arrived on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain – 3 PAX gathered for a workout. But today’s theme was not Genesis.  No, not today (but maybe a future workout).  Today YHC had something else …

Visiting the Birdcage

“Don’t worry about me. I joined to fight. If necessary, I shall die fighting. Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice.” – Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose 15 Pax strong in the chilly gloom at the Birdcage AO.  Let’s see what we did….but first, DISCLAIMER The Thang A …

Me again…

YHC has been on IR for the last 4 weeks or so and was glad to have the chance to Q. Due to the shoulder still being an issue the pax was informed there would be plenty of legs and abs. After the disclaimer we took off at 05:30 and …

Relay Day

Six fearless PAX and YHC braved the harsh elements (mid-70s, mild, light breeze) along the ominous – OK, cheerful – Mandeville lakefront this morning.  We kicked things off slowly with an easy warmup: Abe Vigodas, Arm Circles, Shoulder Presses (varying 15-25x each IC); Annie – many thanks to Grundy and …

Uptowner Stink BOMBS

YHC saw an opportunity to Q this non running AO and jumped on it, since jumping is allowed at the Uptowner.  Arriving 10 minutes early, YHC was alone.  At 5:25, YHC was still the lone Pax, but there was still plenty of time.  The clock hit 5:29 and genuine concern …

10k Foray

YHC stood in for Captain Sparkles today, as he had some excuse or another for not making it out – something to do with resting the week between running a half marathon and attacking a half iron man – or some such weak sauce non-sense.  I was, once again, admiringly …

Plyos for Breakfast

A light turnout at the Gipper this morning but that did not stop the PAX from getting after it.  After the requisite disclaimer, Moby got down to business with the warmup: SSH, Toe Touches, Windmills, Butt Kicks and Shoulder Circles, all 15-20x IC. Mosey to the back of the Justice …
