Conditions cool and breezy – 59 degrees What is up with the cool temps? I was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt to a May workout. Nice to see a couple of Uptowner Kotters this morning, Bogey recovering from a torn rotator cuff and Bubba getting back into it after his …
Week #5 of the Uptowner Yoga Challenge. Prior to The Thang, Walleye diagnosed YHC with a Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injury. He prescribed a Walgreen’s wrist splint and weekly check-ups. He said it would hurt for a while. He said I could go see a doctor, but I have learned from …

At the Uptowner, we are known to not move or go anywhere (sound familiar Audubon Park?) while we lift heavy rocks for our 45 min workout. After GORUCK Weekend, YHC wanted to slow things down today and get some long term training in (aka Yoga). Sure, you could workout out …
“Try everything once, except folk dancing and incest” – Thomas Beecham Words to live by especially for a young man growing up in Arkansas. Things got dicey in High School when I was forced to Square Dance with my Football Coach during P.E., but that is a story for another day. …
