  • “I’m Cosmo!” – from Shooter

    https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCMUCKv01ZGOJhp2HbtDe4EvS8A&playnext=1

    4 PAX joined YHC for his returned Q at the Scramble on a heavy humid gloom… As we started to warmup, visions of headlights excited Hammer how perfect it must be for Cowbell to time it so precisely to show up at 0516… Only this time he was wrong in his assessments as the PAX shouted its Wacker or shall we say the new “I’m Cosmo.” Check out the link above to understand and feel free to ask Waterpik, Steve or myself for clarity..

    Warmup
    15IC Torso twists, Toe Touches, Abe Vogadas and squats followed by Cowbell traditional leg swings front/back and left/right to 10 OYO..

    Ran down to Messina hooked a left on Monroe to West Beach then a right down to the lakefront and to the street right past the bridge taking a left back up to Monroe returning to the AO with 2 mins to spare for a plank hold..

    Appreciate being back at out with my F3 brethren and if interested meet me Tomorrow for a pre Fourth of July beatdown at the A1c..

    Thanks to Hammer for praying us out and until the next Gloom!! 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Speedy run over here, or NOT!!! – from Shooter

    With the Q sheet quite empty, site Q stepped up to take charge of 4 pax and just to confirm yes Speedy was really there this morning sir Wacker… Decided to change up things this morning, after of course we completed our warmup of 10IC self love, Abe Vogadas, and Cowbell leg swings and also 15IC Butt kicks and SSH.. We ran along East causeway approach to Golden shores entrance and completed 2 loops around the neighborhood.. On our return Speedy felt a little rebellious and decided to run along in the middle of East causeway approach as the PAX instructed multiple times to return to the shoulder but he simply wasn’t having it, so thankfully there was little traffic to contend with and avoid. Returning back to the AO we circled up by the equipment to utilize the pull-up bar for our cycling as we focused on Merkins, core and legs through 3 rounds. Each PAX completed 5 pull-up’s per round while the remainder of the PAX completed alternating staggered left/right Merkins, Diamond merkins, mission impossible and regular.
    Round 2 was core with Crunchy frogs, (while Cowbell did pull-ups just to get at him), flutter kicks , 💯s, alternating elbow to knees left/right, lil Manny crunches. Final round squats, jump squats, lunges, reverse lunges and AlGores..

    Waterpic graciously prayed out the PAX..

    Appreciate the post gentlemen and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • A few is all you need.. – from Shooter

    With plenty of regular PAX out of town or heading out of town YHC anticipated a lite showing.. Steve and Hammer ready as Q rolled up with the sky flashing at times and the hint of the clouds opening up we jumped right in to warmups with 10IC Grass grabbers, Toe Touches, SSH, Butt kicks, leg swings and 15 Merkins followed by 15 squats… Off and running left at Monroe to West beach and left on Lakeshore down to the street right past the bridge another left and up to Monroe back down to Messina and returning to the AO with 3 mins. Held plank and completed some Down Dawg with some lizard stretching.

    Thanks to Hammer for praying us out.

    Till the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Mixed bag Scambler – from Shooter

    6 PAX joined the YHC on this humid Gloom to journey through the streets of Mandeville.. It was a mix of speedsters, moderates and the anchors.. PAX warmed up with some Abe Vogadas, self ❤️, Toe Touches, SSH, grass grabbers and some corrected runners yoga 🧘 poses along with some down dawgs…
    Q called out the route for this mornings run. Down Messina and a left on Monroe to West beach take a right to lakefront left to Lafayette and back to Monroe looping into Hermitage and back down Messina to the AO.. Returned with 4 mins for Mary of LBCs, left/right oblique crunch, Nolan Ryan’s left and right, Hello Dollies and closed with Rosalitas some 10IC and some 15IC..

    Appreciate the post gentlemen and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

    Thanks to Bird for the COT!!

  • Clean and clear – from Shooter

    After a cleansing rain over night 4 PAX posted at the Scramble. With Easter break upon us we had a Northern guest in Jose 10k join us on this mild gloom. YHC arrived with he and Zoolander waiting in the darkness.. Planted flag and commenced with a warmup of 10IC Windmills, Grass grabbers, Torso twists, Cherry pickers, Touch touches and as Cowbell arrived we grabbed a tree for some leg swings forward /back and side to side OYO. Lizard 🦎 stretch and down dawg before Moseying our normal route through Mandeville adding an additional loop. Jose 10k with EarPods in tow moseyed about at his own pace, while the remainder of the PAX cruised at a modest pace. Returned and closed with down dawg stretch and another Lizard 🦎 stretch.

    Announce, count, COT

    Thanks for the post gentlemen and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Run or Ruck!! – from Shooter

    4 PAX ultimately responded to the red pill 💊 on this beautiful spring Gloom.. YHC anticipated rucking after confirming with Murdock at the Gipper that he intended to post and Ruck. An audible was in the making as Cowbell came rolling in Hot 🔥.. So after a warmup of 10IC and 15IC Windmills, Toe touches, seal jacks, Butt kicks, high knees and grass grabbers Cowbell and Zoolander ran the regular route adding in another loop through Lake Hermitage as YHC and Murdock rucked out for 18min and returned..

    Count, announce of the busy upcoming April, COT

    Appreciate Cowbell for praying us out and until the next Gloom 👍🏼💪🏼✌🏼!!

  • 1 out of 2 ain’t that bad!! – from Shooter

    With carnival week being full of festivities for some and vacations for others YHC picked up 2 Qs for the week.. Monday being a solo appearance, this Gloom started out with that same possibility as I arrived to the AO with no one in sight… And then there was lights, as the reliable Waterpik turned the corner to make sure today would not be another solo…
    Began our chatter and catching up from his recent journey West.. Q was so excited to have his brother back I started the warmup without any count or directions just started SSH to an imaginary number… Then the REAL Cowbell showed up a few mins late but YHC will give credit as the previous day he was at the Gipper earlier than anyone else.. After completing some Grass grabbers, Imperial walkers and front and back and side to side leg swings..
    PAX journeyed through Mandeville for a 30 min mosey and returned for some core LBCs, left elbow to right knee, right elbow to left knee..

    Appreciate the post fellas till the Next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Runners, Ruckers with Cowbell ahead of schedule and somewhere in between Bushwacker!!! – from Shooter

    Last 2 weeks YHC has decided to strap up with a Ruck sack instead of Mosey at the Scramble.. Although the distance is far less for logging RunCajunRun mileage the mumble chatter is far easier and the change of pace for the Q is welcomed at the present.. Acceleration is a key component of F3, whether in Faith, Fitness or Fellowship (preferably in all 3 categories) YHC has enjoyed the latter with Akbar and JV on the recent Rucks… Sharing the likes of history and traditions enjoyed by my fellow brethren is always interesting.

    Warmup
    10IC Grass grabbers and Merkins along with 20IC Butt kicks, lmperial walkers and SSH..

    Thang
    The traditional route for the runners adding a 2nd loop and the Ruckers 17 mins out and returning. Arrived back at the AO with some of the PAX taking in extra loops for mileage. Rounded up the PAX to finish with some core all 25IC Mountain climbers, Flutter kicks, LBCs, Mountain climbers and Hello Dollies. Offered up intentions for the family who unfortunately lost a child in Slidell yesterday. As well as prayed for PAX safe travels and those celebrating the carnival season. YHC also prayed for the PAX to spread Mercy to those in our communities, workplaces and also those that cross our paths daily, most importantly (personal experience) having Mercy in our own homes..

    Appreciate such a great showing at the Scramble this Gloom from the PAX (9+Q) and welcome any takers for my lead at the A1c tomorrow..

    Till the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Take it easy!! – from Shooter

    5 PAX posted on the much milder Gloom before the rain and cooler weather expected tonight for the Crazy Ivan!! YHC had nothing but a modest run on the agenda..
    Short warmup 10IC Windmills, Cherry Pickers, leg swings, 20IC SSH, Imperial walkers and Butt kicks..
    Thang 3.84 miles for some but 4 miles for others..

    Appreciate you fellas posting this Gloom..

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Usual Suspects – from Steve

    With Shooter pulling double Q duty this week, YHC felt compelled to take the Scramble. Which was good, because it’s about the only thing that got me out there that morning. Luckily, regulars Shooter and Waterpik don’t need such motivation. And Pelican has officially come out of his summer hibernation with this second consecutive Scramble post. He must be getting Ivan-ready.

    Warmorama: Torso twists, windmills, IWs, SSHs, slow squats, leg swings, lunges out to Waterpik’s father-in-law’s truck.

    Then we paired up – Shooter and Pik, Pelican and I – and took the usual mosey (minus the destroyed pier) with the usual chatter to give us just a touch over 3 miles at an easy breezy pace.

    But not easy breezy enough, I guess, as there was still ample time for two rounds of: x20 merkins, x20 freak nasties, x20 leg swings, and x10 pull ups. After two full rotations and a quick Mary, we called it.

    COT, Nameorama, and announcements – sign up for RCR and prepare for the Ivan!! It all happens next week.

    Pik prayed us out, calling attention to the way F3 helps us grow stronger – physically, mentally, and spiritually – and how gift is given to us so that we may turn and offer it to others in need. Thank you for the reminder, and thank you men for the opportunity to lead.
