  • Runners, Stretchers, and Runners Who Became Stretchers – from Bolt

    After the Monday fartsack I decided to drop a comment in the Pontiff channel as a form of commitment to showing up today and upon rising I saw Pillsbury had made me accountable with a thumbs up emoji—no choice now; thank you, Pillsbury! As 530 struck, a dozen pax took to the track or the pavilion for their preferred version of the gloom—track sprints with Pai Gow or S&M with YHC. Triple and Mahatma split time between both. 45 minutes elapsed, then COT.

  • That Frac’n Wally – from Fracsac

    12 Pax posted to run or ruck, including 1 FNG courtesy of Off Balance and Kennah Brah.

    All made it back for the CoT

  • S&M Means What…? – from Bolt

    YHC was still reeling from Hokie’s stations of the cross BD and desperately needed to work out the kinks. I put it out on the Slack and was happy to see nine other pax looking for recovery work.

  • April Foolishness – from Kenna Brah

    A rare and last minute appearance by YHC. So you know me to be unconventional, right?

    Well here was the warm up:
    Good Morning Mountain Man Poopers
    Imperial Walkers
    Simple horizontal twists
    Hot diggity dynamic downward dog cobras
    Multi Variant variable cadence SSH

    Foolish right? Why? Bring up examples if foolishness and what might appear foolish but actually results in innovation.

    Then mosey to the greatest lawn ever for the first thang:
    4 corners of the lawn were used.
    1st corner
    10 hand release Merkins
    10 plank jacks
    Backwards run to corner 2
    20 squats
    20 SSH
    Backwards run to corner 3
    30 Big Ball sit-up
    30 leg lifts
    Backwards run to corner 4
    40 mountain climbers
    40 OH claps

    Repeat one more time.

    Pickup the 6’s Mosey back to start, catch breath, talk a bit.

    Run across the lawn to swings, flowers etc.
    Did balance work with Yoga like moves, but it was definitely NOT Yoga, right Frac?
    Used swings for silly moves that didn’t work out well.
    Incorporated stretches between exercises
    Moved to, dare I say, Ple-A? Nicely done guys!! T-claps!
    10 sets
    Combo Curtsey, backwards, wide back lunges in cadence.
    15 count step ups
    People’s chair with 10,20,30, airpresses
    20 Dippity do da’s

    Circle up at starting point
    7 minutes of Mary,
    Flag and COT to induct an FNG

  • Run or Ruck Off… – from Bolt

    9 pax heeded the call of the gloom…2 for running and 7 for rucking. We covered miles and F2 which makes Thursday all the more worthwhile, followed by Q Source.

  • Running and Stretching – from Bolt

    YHC pre-blasted the call for S&M throughout the F3 NOLA Nation and given the low temps and even lower amount of mumble chatter, save for Mayhem’s proclamation to run in the cold, I was pleasantly surprised to see numerous figures emerging in the cool gloom. Disclaimer and commence; if ur reading this to learn about the stretches, save urself the trouble and show up for the next one to DO the stretches!

  • Do what ya wanna – from Charmin

    All who came did according to their talents
    getting up and pushing through the challenge
    Kennah Brah brought a new guy
    His Vices he wants to decry,
    and a CPA, so we named him Off-Balance

  • He’s Not Heavy, He’s My Brother – from Bolt

    After warmorama of the usual with groiners mixed in to liven things up, form single file line and while YHC carries sand bag to the outside track pax do two burpees then last guy in line catches and assumes the sandbag, sending me to the back. If you wanna go fast go alone; if you wanna go far, go together and together is how we support each other when we all struggle mentally.

    Each pax had a turn with the bag, we ended at the rock pile to collect medium rocks and circle up on YHC where burpee timer is in the middle (x15) with Pax at different stations con roca: squats, tricep press, lunges, LBC, OH press, curls, rows, wife pleasers, merkins, reverse lunges, Penguins, SSH, plus sand bag chest press. Rudy opted to skip a song incurring a five burpee penalty for all just before Mambi was the timer; “Thanks a lot, Rudy” was his reply. Rudy actually experienced double punishment because the awful song he skipped brought an even worse song (Bolt’s playlist delivers again!) and no back to back skips—hahaha.

    Mahatma, as always, offered up encouragement to keep pushing ourselves. Today’s gloom, like life, had each pax pushing himself with something different than the men around him yet it was the shared struggle that bound us together because he’s not heavy, he’s my brother.

    Back to the flag grateful for F3 and the support of brothers in the gloom; welcome back (Kotter) Pillsbury and way to keep the consistency, Off Balance.
