  • No Mandevillians – from Jose10k

    An extra hour of sleep and we ran

  • I just felt like running! – from Jose10k

    A bunch of people ran.

  • Damn, it’s hot out here – from Jose10k

    A bunch of foolish hims showed up to run in this heat. YHC was ridiculously stupid and showed up a half hour early to get in a half Murph at the playground. Oh well, SYITG

  • Better late than never Bushwhacker – from Jose10k

    Yhc pulled in and received a text from Bushwhacker informing me that he was on Cowbell time this morning and that he’d catch up. We picked up Bean on the way. I had a personal goal this morning so I pulled away from the group. I rounded the park and finally saw Bushwacker. We picked up Will.i. Am to finish off the run.

  • Therapy – from Jose10k

    Deja vu? I started the morning like last week: alone. I felt like Russo, all alone. This worked out for me . I needed the time to clear my head, find some inner peace, found a pace I haven’t had in about 3 years. Maybe the 10k doesn’t have any more runners I thought…Until I turned the corner at mile 4.25 and ran across Legal and Tarheel. So there are still runners at the 10k!!!

  • March On – from Einstein

    Short disclaimer …

    Warmup:
    all 15xIC; side straddle hops, toe touch, imperial walkers, drew brees, knee highs, good mornings

    Mosey:
    to the front of the Taj-Mahal, circle up around the flag-pole, for the MROF (Merkin Ring Of Fire)
    all pax do a merkin then sidecrawl counter-clockwise, then repeat in the clockwise direction, with a set of ten jumps squats in between

    Mosey:
    to the top level of the St. Tammany Parish Courthouse parking garage, line up and at each of the parking stripes, do a burpee (twenty five in total) then follow with a core exercise.
    We repeated this sequence about six times, inserting a different challenge for the stripes

    Mosey:
    back to the Gipper statue as time expires,
    count-o-rama, Bushwacker leads us out with a prayer.

    It’s always fun running around downtown Covington, and thanks guys for letting me lead today.

  • Building Blocks – from Akbar

    Pax Grover, Maverick, Bruno, BBQ, Bean, Barely Legal, Moho, Fletch, Turbo, Moby Dick, Cowbell, Maverick, Tarheel, Akbar

    14 strong at the Gipper on a chilly morn in the gloom. Actually, it felt more like 24 degrees after a few days near 80. What a great morning for a block party!

    WU SSH IC x 15

    Torso Twist, Self-Love, Grass Grabbers, Butt Kicks IC x 10

    Thang

    7 block exercises, complete 10 reps, .2m run to Beck and Call and back

    Rinse and repeat, adding 1 rep per exercise for each round

    Manmakers

    Block Curls

    Block Squat

    Bicycle Block Press

    Kettle Block Swing

    Triceps Block extensions

    WW1 Situps

    My count had Turbo in the lead with 17, all in all a brutal beatdown where most finished 5-7 rounds. Might need Bean to check my math, but that’s 531 to 756 reps per man in a 35 minute time span.

    Mary IC x 12

    Hello Dolly, Heels to Heaven, Hands to Heals, Flutter Kicks, Leg Raises, LBC, Crunchy Frogs for Cowbell

    Count, Name-o-rama, quick shout out to the Unitards RCR win

    QIC prayed us out

    Well done guys, thanks for letting me lead

    SYITG – Akbar

    Naked Man Moleskin

    It was great to have Bruno back with us again, and T-Claps for him coming out every time he’s in town – even if BBQ makes him

    Great to have Moho back as well after learning last week that us old guys should probably not sprint, at least until we stretch for 15 minutes.

    It’s always a crapshoot when picking out blocks at the Gipper, could get a 28 or 35 pounder. But those blocks were definitely waterlogged today!

    As Cowbell noted on GroupMe – it did feel good to have the blocks out after all that running in Feb.
