Still full from the amazing dinner prepared by 86 at the Harrah’s steakhouse and my ears ringing from the Foo Fighters show that last until 1am. Not sure how it happened but I managed to forget to set my alarm but I just naturally woke up at 5:08am. Plenty of …
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 …
A balmy morning greeted us on the final day of April 2019. 8 Pax gathered for a leg workout on the Mountain. We ran up the stairs to the top of Wolfpack Mountain for a warmup: 25 Sidestraddle Hops, 10 Grass Grabbers, 10 Windmills, 20 Peter Parkers. Then it was …
Due to a weekend of crawfish, second-lines, retirement party, and jazzfest, the fearless Q had lost his voice. So after a quick warmup of side-straddle hops, windmills, and imperial walkers, the silent, but deadly workout began. The circuit order was drawn in chalk on the ground of the picnic area. …
YCH was recovering from a loooong Hogs for the Cause weekend, sound asleep, when at 11 PM Yankee texted letting me know I had the Q in the morning. Somehow wires had been crossed and I had been under the assumption for weeks that my VQ was to be this …
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, …
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: …
I only posted because I was the Q. The time change, the Mardi Gras break, the darkness of the gloom- all good reasons to sack. As been said many times, if left to my own devices I wouldn’t be there. Thanks to F3 I was. Disclaimer which included a very …
34 #HIM gathered on a muggy February morning to accelerate and get better. The turnout brought the feel of a mini-convergence and great fellowship. After the disclaimers were outlined, and a handful of the PAX moseyed off for a 4-5ish mile run, the remaining 20 something PAX moseyed to the …
