  • Let’s try this again!! Both sidewalks and BB!! – from Shooter

    Well, my first BB was pretty good, then I got to the end to submit and it simply disappeared..
    So, for the condensed version, which will not give the first its due..
    Variation of cadence counts Mummy kicks, SSH, Abe Vogodas, Good mornings, Seal jacks, Toe Touches and Ring of Fire 🔥 Al Gore hold with 2 rounds of each PAX completing 2 jump squats.

    A little over 4 miles and returned right on time..

    Count, announce/intensions, and appreciate the respected Akbar for the close in prayer..

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Splashing Merlot – from Waterpik

    I guess the man was sick but it would considered very uncommon for a grizzled F3 veteran like Jose 10k to vomit during a beatdown, but vomit he did! In his defense he said he was ill. I’ll take his word for it.

    Now to the workout:
    The pax ran 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 miles today. It depended on who you asked. Everyone’s watch or phone was different.

  • That’s gonna leave a mark!! – from Shooter

    With 5 PAX this gloom YHC decided to take a stroll down East causeway on a tour of our future sidewalk to be. Of course being the critic that I can often be, I expressed my comments about how we spend tax dollars here in Mandeville, as if maybe I know better. Nevertheless, as we continued to mosey turning down Monroe, YHC quickly found the elevated drain, which would quickly humble this critic as I took a plunge on to the pavement… Must admit if any of my F3 brethren ever want to trade professions any one of them would make great first responders as they quickly jumped to action in concern of my fall.. Much appreciated find gentleman!!

    Enough with my mishaps..

    Began with 10&15 IC, Hillbillies, Toe Touches, SSH, Imperial walkers, Torso twists and a wonderful stretch movement shared by Einstein the previous day.

    Our Mosey was down East causeway, up Monroe, back down through old Golden shores around and back to Monroe returning up Messina and around the horn of the park.

    Finished with Mary 15IC and some OYO exercises 💯s, Big Boys, Hello Dollies, Flutter kicks, WW1 sit-ups and some EOKs..

    Appreciate each of you for your concerns of my safety and allowing me to lead!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • The Pacer – from Akbar

    Beautiful, crisp morning at the Scramble, where 4 HIM showed up to get better.

    Warm up: SSH, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Windmills, Scorpion Kicks, Leg Swings.

    YHC forgot the ruck today, so 4 went out on the regular route with an extra loop in Hermitage.

    No ruckers, no Pik, no Hammer, and Zoolander showed up.

    Done with 10 minutes to spare, we headed to the playground equipment for 10 reps each for pull ups, triceps, abs, and Merkins.

    Mary – LBC’s, Hello Dolly, Rosalitas x 10 IC. 8 ct Peter Parker Merkins x8 IC

    Count, Name-o-rama

    Announcements: Nightmare before Christmas Dec 17th

    YHC prayed us out with thanks for all 3 F’s, suicide victim at SLU yesterday, Freon’s M, and the opportunity to lead our concentrica today.

    SYITG,

    Akbar

  • Ruckers and Gazelles – from Jose10k

    Due to another useless training for YHC, I got to grace the scramble with my presence this morning. So I sent out the Ruckers unite bat signal, and they answered the call. 3 Ruckers, 3 gazelles, on this gloomy Thursday morning. Finished up with copper head squats, followed up by lunges for an entire Foo Fighters song. Turkey Trot in a week, SOGO has the Q Saturday. My coworkers husband, my personal family issues, and Hammers new home purchase were the intentions that Hammer most graciously prayed us out with. As always, it was my honor to join y’all this morning. It provides me with tremendous peace.

  • The Long Game – from Waterpik

    Every once in a while, you’ve just gotta go for it. That was YHCs mindset when I decided to send the Pax all the way down the mandeville lakefront to the stop sign at Girod st. For those unfamiliar, that adds another mile to the normal route at the weekly 5K.

    And so there you have it. After a very brief warmup, the Ruckers started out on their journey and the runners did the same.

    With 2 minutes to spare the pax reconvened at the mandeville city hall for cot, announcements. Thanks for Russo for praying us out.

  • Common company for some but not the Q!! – from Shooter

    With the coolest morning upon us since last winter, 4 PAX joined YHC for the normal 5k. It felt like old times as Waterpik came moseying in on foot and Cowbell came rolling in as the warmup was underway.. YHC would have accompanied the lone Rucker Akbar had he not removed his Ruck from the car.. After the warmup of SSH, Windmills, Imperial walkers, GM, Mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s and Parker Peters the runners set out down E Causeway approach to Monroe down to Messina right to the gate and back to the AO.
    It was the Qs first opportunity to run with Cowbell, as Hammer and Pic set the pace with consideration for the big guy.. Enjoyed the conversation about hunting throughout the run, thanks Cowbell for stoking the thoughts of my future weekend in the woods..
    YHC had intentions of closing with some Core but after 20 WW1 sit-ups and the lack of recent post the cramps got the best of this Q, so he called multiple audibles, Carolina dry docks and Merkins to wrap-up..

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

  • Ruckers and Runners – from Waterpik

    Coolish temps 65 degrees. Much better than one or two months ago. All was well at the Scramble today as a nice crowd of HIM assembled at the mandeville city hall
    4.13 miles logged by the runners at a slow but steady pace. Good start to the day!

  • Zig zagging at the Scramble – from Shooter

    4 PAX took to the streets after a brief warmup of 10IC Good mornings, SSH, Cherry Pickers, Torso twists and leg swings..
    Zig zagged through old Mandeville and returned to the AO where Akbar had returned from Rucking and the PAX finished with some Mary of alternating elbow to knees and flutter kicks..

    Count, announce, COT
    Till the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!
