I took Squeal’s scheduled beatdown. We welcomed Stuart Hill aka Lawn Dart for his first beatdown. I wanted to bring the tooth fairy and the pinwheel to WPM. Started with a longish mosey to Tulane near McAllister. COP1: SSH IMP walker-squats, Dying Roaches Mosey’d to the Field at Yulman COP2: …
In honor of the thing of beauty that was yesterday’s Saints “home opener” vs. the Packers, the PAX performed a game-themed workout with high efficiency. The cadence of each exercise was tied to a key stat. Warmup First we moseyed to the front of Tulane’s campus and did SSHs (50 …
I woke up at 4:20 to a very special day. Eagerly got ready and made the 21-minute drive from the Lakefront to Audubon Park where I have only been to the The Birdcage once to celebrate our 6 Year Convergence last year. How appropriate that I celebrate the start of …
Beautful morning out there at Audubon park. We had 20ish PAX present. Warmups included SSH, Grass grabbers, Peter Parkers, Mountain climbers and forward and reverse arm circles. Then we posted up at the zoo. DJ Dry Socket broke out his 90s/2000s underground hip hop classics to the delight of the …
That somebody is Gideon and his drone. I thought for sure the incessant rain of the last week would call off the photo op, but Gideon was not deterred. So to keep the pax dry we headed over to the zoo parking lot. The ladies workout was out in full …
I admit I’ve gotten lazy with backblasts. I wouldn’t have thought it, but of the many things to not recover from the pandemic, backblasts seem to be one. I think the fluid days of free-form workouts, posting at 6:30, etc, killed a bit of our discipline. I think the same …
Large crowd for the first Wolfpack of March, and after a quick disclaimer we moseyed across St Charles to Loyola’s Palm Court for a Warm up. Like many, I’ve been wearing out the miles all of February for Run Cajun Run, and while I can now run fast and far, …
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 …
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 …
