There is usually one moment of every beatdown that leads to a memorable moment for “naming purposes”. In this case I was ridiculed for asking the PAX to get on “their belly” so we could do some Superman exercises. Ridicule can be a great teacher…never again will I make that …
Selfishly, I wanted the miles and running workouts are pretty easy to Q. In past iterations of the February running challenge I found myself skipping the beatdowns and just running. With an all-time interest (t-claps to the HIM men who got us motivated) maybe the Q’s will find a way …
Today marked our third mile trial at the Uptown Tsunami AO since we decided to copycat (sort of) the Wally Sprint. Perhaps in a time when COVID isn’t as rampant we can do a joint time trial with our cross-town brothers. On this Tuesday, however, the uptown usual suspects gathered …
I do not think I have ever actually taken the time to honor MLK day. Maybe in elementary school before it was holiday. Though back then it could have been mentioned in the context of replacing Robert E. Lee day. Embarrassing to admit, but of course change only comes when …
A solid pax showed up for the first Skinny of 2021. I for one am fat and out of shape and was glad to have the motivation to get the week started well. A quick show of hands demonstrated that Bieber was the only pax present who is participating in …
six pax this morning for 5 miles at Tsunami. We set out to run the usual levee route, but when we exited Audubon Park and hit the levee the 5:30 Kansas City Southern was chugging its way out of town. So a no-go on the Levee but we detoured along …
The mosquitoes turned out along with 20 PAX total for my VQ. Feeding on energy from the group we started with a short mosey around the clubhouse parking lot to circle up at the pavilion for an attempt to warm up enough for lactic acid to be released. I think …
I love baseball. I love everything about it. Because I love it so much, I have been wanting to Q a baseball inspired beatdown for a while. While 50 degrees in a sweet December gloom doesn’t necessarily lend itself to thoughts of afternoons under the blue skies, maybe the following …
It was my honor to lead a great group of men this morning as we recognize, remember, and celebrate our Veterans. Whether in times of war or peace, those who have stepped up to serve our country deserve the recognition and praise of all those who call this wonderful country …
Conditions: Humid, 74 degrees, Humidity 95%, Wind 8mph from ENE Warm-up: Mosey from the flag to the start. Warm-up on your own. No time for SSH or Grass Grabbers or J-Los, we’ve got work to do. The Thang: The H8! F3 NOLA’s overly complicated, semi-annual, feat of strength. The stick …
