43 going on 44
23 PAX posted in the the dark at Rock City. The effects of the time change were felt as I tried to wake up and get ready to make the trek to Metairie. It was still so dark I could barely see who all had shown up in the dark …

End of February, end of RRR
Gloomy morning at Okwata. Last day of February, last day of 2019 RRR and YHC’s legs are definitely feeling it. Been a great month – getting pushed by all the PAX to pull a Forest Gump and just keep running. And as 5:30 approaches, out of the gloom emerge Kuch …
We’re up all night to get War Eagle a little culture
[5:25 AM, City Park, on a wet gray morning] War Eagle: What is that thingamabob in your hand, Kuch? Kuch: That’s a bluetooth speaker. It plays music. War Eagle: Where I’m from, dancing is outlawed and the only music allowed is people singing Sweet Home Alabama. Thus, it became clear …
The Power of Negativity or the Commitment to Accelerate
In the last US Olympic Marathon Trials (2016) there were 108 finishers. Only 3 men ran negative splits. All three finished on the podium. The Thing: Run along Bayou St. John for 20 minutes, turn around and return in less than 20 minutes. AKA a Negative Split. Then plank and …
Hokie Pokey does ABC’s
With Run Ranger Run in full effect, and with the split of the Mother Ship Saturday workout into two Pax’s, Hokie Pokey thought it would be good to get some running in between exercises. Warm up started with a run to the railroad tracks and back with folks circling back …
The Dawn of the Single Reverse Indian Run
With Run Ranger Run in full swing, I thought it would be good to get a few miles in during the beatdown on Thursday morning at Okwata. So without further ado, at 5:30am I issued the disclaimer & we mosey’d to the intersection of Canal Blvd / Lakeshore Drive for …
We’ll Never Finish in 45 Min….Yep it took 47
I’ve been talking about it for some time now and had it loaded in my truck; the tractor tire was armor-alled and ready to roll……yet the levee was calling. Quick disclaimer and a challenge to push yourself to the limit before giving in. Mosey around the fountain to circle up …
Mile-O-Merkins and Mile-O-Mary at Okwata
We had a great morning at Okwata to get some miles for the AO in RRR VII, but we couldn’t forget our tradition of full-body workouts. So, disclaimer and then mosey to the Center of the Universe (COTU) for the warm up: 25 x SSH and Imperial Walkers, 15 x …
610 Stomp #180 – Stretch You Big Dummy!
Some of us are born flexible and some of us are born…well, not. Either way, good running requires good stretching before and after the actual running. I’d first like to thank the good people at Runner’s World as well as the folks at Google for helping me create this Q. …
The Running Ship
Today’s the day for the inaugural Muscle Ship at City Park, so YHC decided to emphasize the difference between the workouts – for one day, the Mothership became the Running Ship. As the 15 PAX gathered in the gloom (after a brisk 3 mile pre-thang run) YHC gave notice that …
