Magical Monday

Pre Thang: Twelve men of NOLA gathered in the gloom not knowing exactly what was in store, including YHC. Since the re-paving crew decided to set up operations at a new location in the park, I was forced to modify the plan. After some quick brainstorming and the disclaimer we …

A Soggy Six

The ground was spongy, but the sky was clear. So after DISCLAIMER, the PAX of six is off. First COP: SSHs 30xIC Good Mornings 20xIC Imperial Walkers 30xIC Low Slow Squats 30xIC Peter Parkers 30xIC Pick up a boy and mosey towards the parking lot (with an interruption after YHC’s …

Nostra-damn-us

YHC awoke a 0400 to a heavy downpour, wondering if flooded roads might prevent the PAX from posting.  The skies cleared and I arrived to find 11 men ready for a Tropical Beatdown.  I started on the disclaimer, which was apparently all Bongo could take, because he took off in a …

Just Sittin’ Around

With flash flood warnings from NOAA, would YHC have shown up if he wasn’t to be the Q? Would he have just turned around and gone home if no PAX had showed up? We will never know the answers to these questions because a trusty PAX joined YHC. While the …

Seek Higher Ground!

WWL tweeted a flash flood warning about 5am with a simple message: Seek Higher Ground!   Nine PAX including one FNG were unfazed by weather but none the less YHC decided to take heed. After a brief disclaimer we headed to the mountain: 1st COP at the bike rack: SSH x20, MC x20, IW …

Going to get brunch

“Remember the difference between a boss and a leader; a boss says “Go!” –  a leader says “Let’s Go!” – George E. M. Kelly 7 men of NOLA decided to better themselves today in the gloom to become better leaders.  YHC wanted to see how far we could get to …

Humping Blocks on Hump Day

For those who read this title and thought of something x-rated, get your mind out of the gutter.  For the rest of those who enjoy G-rated backblasts, here’s what happened: Seven F3 gurus posted at City Park this am for the usual Wednesday fix.  Typical mumble chatter as the PAX …

Carpe Diem

Three veteran PAX made themselves better at the Covington Trailhead this morning while the young guys fartsacked.  Blackbird embarked on his Virgin Q with a thorough warmup much appreciated by the geriatric PAX.  You know it’s an old guy workout when the Q has trouble reading his Weinke because he …

Fire Mountain

The skies decided to open up in the middle of the night before the workout, which somehow always seems to always happen before YHC is scheduled to Q.  The flooded conditions at the AO required some audibles and detours to get through the workout, but we made it through (somewhat) …

Out and Back Again

The Weather: Hot and Humid.  Typical Summer day.  News guy said 88% humidity.  I can’t wait for fall. The Disclaimer: I remembered this time. The Thing: YHC looking to a half marathon this winter (if you’re interested – let me know!), so its time to start getting some mileage on these old …
