  • 15’s & Release – from Hokie

    YHC finished hanging drywall on Saturday AM at 1100 and looked and saw a Q-less Renaissance on Sunday but would not HC

    YHC finished working at Charlie’s on Saturday PM at 2300 and looked and saw a still Q-less Renaissance on Sunday but still would not HC

    YHC got up at 0530 Sunday AM and looked and saw a still Q-less Renaissance on Sunday and decided to step up and HC

    As 0630 approached six pax, including Smooth, in from Spain; new pax member, Wapner; our N’antan, Fraq; PVC & MacGyver.

    We started with a disclaimer and welcome and Warmorama of SSH x 20, Slow Vigodas x 10 and grass grabbers x 15. While warming up 2 additional pax, Abacus & Vagabond, arrived.

    The THANG –

    15’s
    15 Burpess & 15 Mountain Climbers
    Then Mosey to Green box and
    15 American Hammers & 15 big Boi sit up

    Run back to NOMA

    repeat with round of 14’s 14 & 14 mosey to green box 14 & 14, mosey to NOMA

    Rinse and repeat for rounds of 13, 12, 11….

    At 0710 we gathered around “the bacon” for 25 “foot release” squats (squat to seated position and lift knees as high as possible) & 25 hand release merkins

    At 0714 we went up the stairs to “enjoy” Sunday Mornings against front wall of NOMA

    At 0715 we gathered for countarama, nameorama, announcements & prayer.

    Thank you for the opportunity to lead

  • A New Old Route – from Kuch

    YHC took the Stomp yesterday for an injured Snooze, who fell victim to the streets of New Orleans during a Rudy Q the week before. Some may blame the street; I choose to blame Rudy.

    YHC promised “something cool” in the LVCC groupme, and then was immediately forced to actually think of something cool. Cart, horse… as long as they all get there.

    The “something cool” ended up being running the old route down Marconi toward the Lake, but on the newly completed running path. The running path is great, and the faster guys should be able to make it all the way to Lakeshore Drive and back along its protected boundaries. This beats the hell out of running down Marconi in the dark, under the tree cover, with little shoulder and cars going 40.

    As the Site Q for the Stomp, YHC would make this the official new route, but I’m sure that would have the opposite effect, as a cascade of Q’s show up just to let me know that I am definitely not the boss of them (or anyone else for that matter). So for now, let’s just say it’s one of the available options.

    We went 20 out, 20 back, and a few minutes of stretching. We were joined by Pop Tart’s pup, who has since unofficially been named Pup Tart. Credit to Saban on that one.

    Pothole joined us as well, although he still needs to register on the site. T-claps to him regardless: he started 2 weeks ago and has hardly missed a workout. Pretty impressive.

    We gave thanks and remembered those who are struggling. As always, this group is one of the many things YHC is truly thankful to have found.

  • Ruck’n to the Kenna Line Brah – from Vagabond

    After doing warm-up exercises and 60 EMOM burpees at the start (in the 38 degree wind, some modified), …to mix it up from the typical View beat downs, the four pax rucked 1-2 miles with 25lbs +/-. Stopped along the way for dips, decline shoulder taps, step ups, etc.

    Circled up for COT and prayer. Rucking is great for the “third F”- Fellowship.

  • Holding Down the Fort – from Vagabond

    The “frequent flier” Renaissance pax were at Jackson Day Race so we had two newcomers for the windy beatdown in the 40 degree chill. After doing some stretches, moseyed around NOMA then down the park entrance doing 10 warmup exercises along the way, about every 20 yards.

    THANG:
    20 reps of two exercises at each end of field, declining by 2 reps at each interval until reaching 2:
    – squat jumps touching ground with both hands, then jump raising both hands above head on the jump
    – big boi sit-ups at other end of field
    – Going to/fro each end of field, crawl through the “bear crawl” zone each way + 3 burpees in middle going both ways

    Onward to close with 3 reps of Sunday Mornings behind NOMA

    Circle up for COT, prayer

    Return to the flag and rejoin the Wally Runners that ran 4 plus miles each

    COT – raised up several intentions including our brother Kimchi for the heartbreaking loss of his son Xavier.

    NMM

    • The Weagle is a much welcomed venue for those of us forced to limit our running

    • The field was extremely muddy from the recent rain. YHC didn’t want to destroy it, but placed 2 cones there to see what sort of psychological effect it would have….it worked. It did not go unnoticed!

    SYITG

  • I made it up as I went along

    I made it up as I went along

    Continuing with the rucking theme for Bawbwa Wawa, I ventured cautiously into Kenner with two rucks and Sandy my 60lb fun bag.

    We loaded up and moved to Lakefront Trail.

    Warm up IC

    SSH 25, Imperial Walkers 25, Windmills 15ish, Peter Parkers 15, Parker Peters 15, Plank Jacks 15 – or something close to this

    Movement Begins

    Grab Sandy or Sweetness (Frac’s 60lb Funbag) or choose to push Vagabond’s industrial dolly loaded with cinderblocks. We stopped and swapped the coupons at the half-way point #2.

    Grinder #3

    In the parking lot we did some tabata 40 sec work 20 sec rest

    Ruck Curls, Ruck Press, Ruck Squat, burpees, Ruck Curl/Press/Squat, burpees, Flutter Kicks holding ruck. Tclaps to Vagabond who forgo a ruck and used a funbag for most of the PT.

    Burpees on the Pier 4,5,6,7

    We headed to the fishing pier for some more burpees. 10 burpees at each point. There were some complaints about doing burpees in fish guts, but we did them anyway.

    Head for Home #8

    We rucked back to the start and finished in 59 minutes so time for 10 more burpees.

    COT, – Count off, nam-o-rama, annoucements, intentions , prayer

    We headed to City Park to supervise and provide encouragement to those that were cleaning up.

  • Running with the HIM or Burping with the Weagle

    Running with the HIM or Burping with the Weagle

    10 men arrived to continue their lifelong journey to impact their families and community for the better with a strength building workout at the Wally Run/Weagle. Six high impact men took off for the traditional Wally Run. Four men remained for the low impact Weagle. YHC ran, so he was unaware of what the low impact man did for 45 minutes, but all the talk with the inclusion of 120 burpees thanks to the leadership Frac Sac.

    Th Pax closed with the count-off, name-o-rama, and prayers lifted up especially for Kimchi as we pray for the peace and grace of God to comfort his family during this time of loss.
