Disclaimer: yes, most of this was written well ahead of time, Zoolander, and copied and pasted, edited, and spellchecked (I think). 30 degrees greeted a Pax of 13 this morning, perfect sunrise, a little chilly from the remnants of rain. Too cold to be called a Warmup (all IC, between …
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was …
YHC, the Hammer, and Akbar moseyed over to Noah’s Ark for some Tabata for a beginning of the week beatdown. Cool temps 45 degrees and the pax got right down to business. After a short warmarama, the pax was off, stopping at the intersections along Noah’s Ark for Tabata. at …
The first Scramble in 2022 produced familiar faces on a beautiful non humid gloom. YHC arrived to the sites of Hammer completing some pre stretches. After some brief chatter Zoolander came rolling in followed by Waterpik with his usual prethang miler or so before and after the Scramble.. Brief warmup …
32 degrees greeted Pax this morning as the South Louisiana Polar Bear/Bare Club (Northshore chapter) held its annual meeting at Granny’s. Look it up, it’s a thing. We get what YHC would consider “brisk” conditions maybe 5 or 6 times a year, and today was one of ‘em. Not enough …

It was great to be back out at the Scramble, especially on a crisp clear morning with Christmas carols in the air! As we began the warm up, a bright pair of head lights made the corner and what to our wondering eyes did appear but Zoolander arriving to spread …
Temperature was down to 37 this morning at the Gipper, which was not quite low enough for a winter wonderland (or sleeves for YHC), but cold enough for some reindeer games. As a kid, if you asked me what the best part of Christmas was, the easy answer was presents. …
Another year in the books as YHC turned 51, joined by 8 HIM who woke up early Monday morning – some after Sunday’s Nightmare Before Christmas. The theme was 51 on paper, 5 sets, 5 exercises 10 reps each, with the last exercise being a 10 second hold. Sometimes paper …
12 days of Christmas song and exercise rotation. Assorted warmups. 12 each. My cadence still needs improvement. We did an exercise for each of the 12 days of Christmas and in rotation like the song. We ended up doing 144 HR Merkins, 264 squats, 360 LBC’s, 32 burpees, 80 arm …
