Pre Thang: YHC arrived a little early in case the rumors were true and it would be necessary to work out the logistics of dragging around a news crew, but alas they never showed up… However, the pax seemed to never stop coming. At 05:30, after the disclaimer we moseyed …
For my first Q at the 6-10 stomp, I decided to do something a little different. A track workout instead of going out to visit the missing monuments. As Lightning McQueen’s mantra was heard in my head, “I am speed, I am speed, I am speed…” we headed to …
A no-frills yet solid morning was enjoyed by five men at The Uptowner on Friday. The Q slot was empty the day before so YHC hopped on it and threw together some ideas to bring the sweat. The focus was stretching, core work, and showing some love to the biceps. …

YHC committed to Q four days in a row this week, and the fourth day, or the Superfecta as we’ll call it, had me up earlier than usual. 45 minutes before the alarm sounded kind of earlier. One would think that would indicate an early arrival at the AO, but …
Solid showing on Monday at Pontiff, despite the rain. Eight men braved the iffy forecast to get the usual fix of F3 at Rock City. The scheduled Q was out with the flu (or maybe Saints game hangover???) so a few of us stepped in to sub. Here’s what went …
Pacecar spent the last Stomp in the kennel while YHC was off celebrating the New Year in Texas, but she was not going to miss today. Somehow knowing it was Tuesday, Pacecar stuck to YHC like white on rice while YHC was getting ready. Arriving at the AO about two …
2018 arrived at 5:30 am with a brisk wind and below freezing temps. Lovely start to the new year. YHC arrived early to make sure his Notre Dame banners were hung with bride, to welcome the LSU faithful to the new year. First hulking shadow figure to appear, dressed in …
