Apologies for the delay but from way back on Friday at Wolfpack Mountain: Pax took off from the North end of Audubon Park at 0530 headed west along St Charles wrapping back around and ending up at the great circle courtyard for quick warmup: – Sidestradlehops; Self Love; Imperial Walkers; …
It was a beautiful morning on Lake Pontchartrain, and 17 PAX gathered for a good old fashioned beatdown. I issued the disclaimer, and we headed across the street to the concrete planters along the Lakefront. Once across the street, we circled up for the warmup Warmup: 20 side straddle hops …
While perusing the Q list to see who would be leading the beatdowns this week of the AOs I most often attend, I happened to see my name listed. I thought this was odd because I had just Q’ed 2 last week and didn’t remember signing up. I then gazed …
It’s another crisp, cool Friday morning. The PAX are ready for the Mountain what to do? Hmmm…we shall see. With a disclaimer, let’s mosey! Mosey to under the mountain for warm-up all in cadence: IW’s Self-Love Grass Grabbers (Cement Grabbers) Self-Love Toy Soldiers Open-Gates Count off by 1 and 2 …

Unfortunately Tool was unable to Q this morning and was a late scratch. And whenever there is a need for a Q somehow I seem to be the guy to do it. I usually welcome it as a challenge and I had never been Q for a Stomp before. So …
Mondays up in the Chilly Gentilly are strong. YHC had the opportunity to Q at the Renaissance the day before, which is a great AO to workshop new ideas. Today we got to tighten it up. WARM UP – x10 Arm Circlex10 Reverse ACx10 Abe Vigodax15 Side Straddle Hopsx10 Parker …
The Q sheet for The Stomp was mysteriously blank for this beautiful Tuesday morning. On Monday, YHC wondered why would such a popular beatdown did not have a Q — rain in the forecast (we all know Lakeview people can’t handle a little rain). So at 5:01 am, YHC took …
20 runners were greeted with an absolutely perfect pitch black morning at the Stomp today. The temperature hovered around 65 degrees for the entire run, and at no point did we see the sun. Thanks to Daylight Savings Time and those long Spring and Summer days, we’re treated to at …
