January 24th, 2019. Only 40 days until March 5th – Mardi Gras! And what better way to celebrate than a traditional Okwata 40?!? Even better, its a blustery sub-forty degree day at the Lakefront (YHC’s car said 37 degrees – but that didn’t account for the gales). Good Times! 8 …
Warm Up: 30 side straddle hops, 25 imperial walkers, 20 plankjacks, arm circles (10 forward, 10 backwards) The Thang: Route 66 – there was some debate on whether or not there were 10 or 11 planters on the lakefront. Turns out i miscounted, and there was actually only 10 planters. …
My true love gave to me three French hens. Got it? THREE French hens! THREE! The Pax moseyed west along the seawall with a stiff SE wind at its back to the U-turn at Canal and Lakeshore. There the Pax warmed up with THREE exercises, 25 reps, rinse and repeat …

A good showing considering the fine turnout and time we all had at Urban South Brewery and Christmas party last night! Thanks to all that brought or cooked food! A quick disclaimer and off we go to the fountain for typical warm up: Running exercises: butt kicks, high knees, carioca, …

9 Pax showed up for a Pre-Turkey Thanksgiving Feast Beatdown at the one and only Okwata. With 4 shovel flags planted, possibly a record at Okwata, the clock turned 0530, a brief disclaimer was given, and we were off on a mosey toward the mardi gras fountain…. High knees and …
Winter is here. But that didn’t stop 4 hardy PAX from appearing on the angry shores of Okwata, where the winds were howling. YHC’s car said 37 degrees. Alas, YHC’s car does not have a wind-chill measurement; perhaps that is for the best. Somethings are best left unknown. 5:30 arrives, …
Rain pelted the gloom as five wise men – the RESPECT PAX – formed around the flag. They knew a beatdown in the rain was to be savored and not avoided. They knew as long as the mind was moving and counting, the rain did not matter. First, DISCLAIMER. Now …
