It’s my birthday week so indulge me and let me do what I want with this beatdown. 70 degrees cool and beautiful outside. Showed up with my bucket of baseballs, and a frisbee. The pre-beatdown chatter focused on the Bourbon Rodeo on Monday night – total FOMO from me. I …
The Thang Event: The 6th running of the H8! Conditions: 72 degrees, 90% humidity, winds out of the SSE at 4 mph. Participants: 30 Pax including, 7 H8!ers, and 14 first timers. Each lap consists of running south to the top of the levee, crossing canal (bear crawling the neutral …
23 PAX posted at WPM for ILoveYouMan’s VQ. After a quick introduction and disclaimer we were off with a quick run down St Charles and back to TD Jesus. WARM-O-RAMA 20 x Grass Grabbers, 20 x Self Love, 15 x Windmills, 25 x SSH, 20 x Mt Climbers, 20 x …
Nice cool April 15th morning, tax day at its finest. Started out with a casual jog to circle up near the track. A few stretches and a 15 count of windmills (yes I said count). Then to the track to preform exercises, descending at every walking man(5 walking men per …
20 strong PAX showed up on a damp, muggy Monday morning. Two showed up late. One eventually found the group by the levee while the other PAX ended up working out on his own. Audubon Park is one AO that you have a 10 percent chance of finding the group …
YCH needed no alarm early Friday. Sky Q took care of that with a pretty spectacular lightening storm that got cranked up around 4:50. I have yet to miss a workout due to weather but I do have a decent amount of mouths to feed so I reached out to …
Seven PAX convened for YHC’s virgin Q. The disclaimer was initially botched and we rudely cut off a biker so it was a rocky start. Alas, got the blood flowing along St. Charles for a few blocks before turning around for a warm-up in Cowen Circle: SSH x 20 Windmills …
28 PAX gathered on this beautiful, calm, cool Friday morning. Still very dark at 5:25 a.m…. but YHC noticed he wasn’t the only one using passports frequently these days… Your Mom’n Dem and Half Nelson traveled ALL THE WAY from Lakeview to Uptown just for this beat down. Seconds later, …
YHC knows he’s old school, old fashioned, and just plain old. #RespectHasItsDrawbacks. For the COT, he utterly–and proudly–failed in his effort to record the names of the 28!!! PAX who posted in the gloom. Even with Mariah’s held (#TClaps), it was hopeless. Thank God our beatdowns are (generally) techno-free. With …
There was a solid group of 20+ waiting In The Gloom this cool Monday morning. We kicked things off with a warmup in place: -15 second left-over-right and right-over-left stretches -15 SSH Then we ran. We headed up toward the Fly, then upriver along the levee, stopping every .5 miles: …
