VQ- Done!. TClaps to the Pontiff 3 (Bogey Heisenberg and The Mutt) for supporting me in the gloom. It was a rough but entertaining VQ. Almost forgot the disclaimer. I am by no stretch of the imagination anything resembling a trainer. Pax started with a gentle Mosey to the bandstand. …
Pre-Thang Mosey across Magazine Street for a COP. A toe touch stretch for a 10 count to loosen the hams followed by Imperial Walkers x20; Plank Jacks x20, Peter Parkers x20, and Low Slow Squats x 20. Mosey back across Magazine Street to the row of lights for some “interval …
While most of you were fartsacking, a few brave men–let’s call them the Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick Maker–were ready to set sail amidst a few (as in bucketloads of) rain drops for the last downPAINment of the year. We started off with a mosey to a deadend by …

Pre-Thang It’s December and the temperature at 5:30am is hovering around the low to mid 50’s. It was time to break out a long sleeve shirt today. Shorty showed up decked out in full sweats and explained how he doesn’t do cold very well. Somehow he just doesn’t sweat…must be …
No flags in the city or apparently in the rocky outskirts this morning. The uptown PAX instead turned their attention to a medicine ball resting in the circle. After a brief disclaimer, we moseyed to the bandstand. Luckily the intimidating, statuesque figure from last week was no where to be …
Five men gathered around the virtual shovel-flag, gave the Disclaimer and….one more joins us as we step off. Mosey straight to the Tulane sign for COP: -SSH x 30 IC -IW x 30 IC -Arm Circles x 30 IC (15 each direction) -Peter Parkers x 20 IC Mosey to the …
“Some people feel the rain… others just get wet.” – Roger Miller The perfect Gloom: Rain was everywhere and mixed with an uncomfortable chill in the air. As YHC pulled up about 10 minutes early, Jingle Vader could be seen walking back and forth from his car to the usual flag …
