  • Runners, Ruckers and a Tweener!! – from Shooter

    With excellent conditions of 55 degree weather 8 HIMs embarked on the Scramble. Some early some on time and of course there is Cowbell right after rolling in hot. One needs to recognize the consistency picking up right where he left off from his F3 break while he shifted to straight running. PAX completed a few warmups of Torso twists, grass grabbers, Butt kicks, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies and Good Mornings. Instructions 20 out and back for the Ruckers and the Shooter route down W Causeway approach zig zagging back to the AO. Upon return completed some stretches and wrapped up..

    Appreciate the post and until the next Gloom šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘ŠšŸ¼āœŒšŸ¼!!

  • Tabata 45/30 – from Mobydick

    Overcast. And gloomy so under the canopy. Started with a stretchy torso twist toe touches side straddle hop and such the the thang. Very basic. Frogs. Squats Crunches Side straddle hop Merkins Toe touches and a lap which was lunges forward and back. Each for :45 with :30 rest. Not a killer routine but when done slowly and deep with form worked up a sweat. YHC is a bit sore as a result. That a good thing. COT and done

  • The Mandela Effect? – from Russo

    The Mandela Effect: phenomenon where a large group of people misremember an event or share a memory of something that didn’t happen. It’s a social phenomenon that occurs when people have false memories of a person, place, or event.

    Want an example? People remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison. They may remember a cornucopia on the Fruit of the Loom logo (myself included). They swear Vader says ā€œLuke, I am your father.ā€ Mr. Moneybags (I think thatā€™s the gent from Monopoly) doesnā€™t have a monocle?

    A more local example? The Treen Center. I swear Iā€™ve left my keys on the bench more than once. Steve swears he remembers a Super 20-something led by me but my counting always stops at 10. We both swear we remember Shooter and Jose ā€œscissoringā€ on the bench, but alas that was just a threat (proposition?).

    Jose and Steve were running around as I arrived, followed by both Coachella (not HogsBreath) and Grundy (also not HogsBreath).

    Lower 60s to start, slightly less humid, overall both ā€œpleasantā€ and ā€œsweat-inducing.ā€

    Warmup (all 10-20x IC)
    – Sealjacks
    – Grass grabbers
    – Arm circles
    – Imperial walkers
    – Self love
    – maybe some other stuff, I donā€™t remember because Jose distracted me with his average time per mile. Dudeā€™s a full-on runner now, no doubt.

    Thang
    The Walls of Jericho
    (7 rounds of moseys around the Treen center, it of the Mandela effect) interspersed with seven reps of 7 exercises:
    – 7 merkins
    – 7 squats
    – 7 lunges
    – 7 Peter Parkerā€™s
    – 7 SMCs
    – 7 shoulder tap plank jacks
    – 7 monkey humpers

    A mosey back to base where we wrap up with COT, NOR, Announcements, and Prayer.

    Great group this morning, and Iā€™m glad to have been able to share the streets with you. SYITG

  • Time to put some RCR miles on the board – from Waterpik

    Steve, Cowbell, Shooter, and YHC took off down to the lake front and put 4 miles on the board for RCR. 3 Ruckers: Jose10k, Akbar, and Hogs Breath. They claimed to have solved the world’s problems, however, Hogsbreath forgot to write them down. Oh well, perhaps next week.

  • Super Bowl Sunday: Eagles Fly High over Chiefs! – from Jose10k

    We came, we saw, we kicked its ass! IDk, we ran some miles, threw a football, made fun of Bushwacker and Speedy!

  • Foggy on the Escalator – from Russo

    I realize this may be late in at least one or two peopleā€™s eyes, but we canā€™t all be superstars.

    Warmup (10x IC)
    Seal jacks
    Grass grabbers
    SSHs
    Arm circles
    Torso twists
    Imperial walkers

    Thang

    I tried to make at least half of the beatdown mosey-related for the RCR folks, so we did just that: moseyed around old Mandeville, stopping on average every block or two to perform reps of 10 exercises in what I call an ā€œEscalatorā€, or as Chewy rightly called it: ā€œSudokuā€. Exercise 1 gets 10 reps, Exercise 2 gets 9 reps, down to one. Next round, Exercise 1 gets 1 rep, 2 gets 10, R&R until as Steve was first to chime each will get 55 reps for a total of 550 movements. Math!

    The exercises:
    Shoulder tap plank jacks
    Star jumps
    Merkins
    Burpees
    Jump squats
    Murder bunnies
    American hammers
    Crunchy frogs
    Donkey kicks
    Imperial squat walkers

    The weather: Foggy! As thick as Iā€™ve seen this year (39 days in). This, humid so sweat was a plenty. Around 64 degrees to start, so within the 3.7 degree window that Quarterpipe will join us in.

    The music: Not Joseā€™s

    We timed it well enough that there was no Mary, so COT, NOR, announcements, and prayer closed us out.

    Coffee afterward, which is apparently a thing and I may or may not have needed a special engraved invitation for.

    Thank you all for joining and making the world a better place. SYITG

  • Guess who’s back, back again…… – from Jose10k

    Michael Jordan returned to the Bulls in 1995, Luke Skywalker returned as a Jedi, and dare I say it: The return of the Mack! All of these returns pale in comparison to the return of Darkwing Duck. He finally came back to the A1C. Trumpets blared loudly, confetti fell from the sky, a tear ran down Mobyā€™s face. It was emotional.
    The Thang: 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 penguins 2 is 1. A Ā¼ mile run after each. RCR is in full swing. There were ruckers, runners, and conversationalists. COT. Thanks for letting me lead.

  • Rinse and Repeat Time in Tension – from Mobydick

    Einstein was to Q today but had to demure due to ill health. Our best to him but the show must go on. Yours truly won the toss and Hawgs Breath and I reprise last weeks Time in Tension. Fit without sweat. A good slow full stretch series followed by sets of 5 alternating everything from merkins to squats done in slow motion. If you havenā€™t tried it it harder than you might think. A good after feeling of having done a lot more than it would appear.

  • Thatā€™s right, BB completed before 6:05!! – from Shooter

    Well, thatā€™s what happens when only one PAX post. YHC decided to run to the AO for some RCR mileage. Prospects were light as only Jose10ks Sentra sat in the parking area. H arrived out the shadows from his pre-run.
    We completed 3 warmups Good mornings, Toe Touches and Grass grabbers. With time availability shortened we simply moseyed 3 corners for 5/10/15/20/25/30.
    8counts-Merkins, squats-SMKs and plank jacks-flutter kicks. Returned to the AO for Jose10ks departure and YHC returned to Moseying on home..
    Appreciate the chatter and post to Grannies shortened Q 10k!!

    Until the next gloom šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘ŠšŸ¼āœŒšŸ¼!!!

  • Hold on to the Rails – from Akbar

    4 strong at the Marsh on a perfect day to get some mileage in for RCR. Expected the Whacker to show after an inquiry on mileage for the Marsh late Sunday, but maybe 1-2 miles wasnā€™t enough.

    Arriving to the familiar scene of mumblechatter and Jose 10k getting in is pre mile run. Conversations early regarding the Nightmare after Christmas and Burpee form + Steve’s game show beatdown Saturday.

    Usual warm up and we took the long route down to the Lakefront, to Rips, and back up Marigny.

    Marsh to Lakefront, stopping at each block for Merkins and Superman’s x 10. Head towards Rips stopping at light poles for 50 SSH, LBCā€™s, and Mountain Climbers.

    7ā€™s starting on the wall with Freak Nasties and a run across the street to Rips for Squats on the other side, then run Rips stairs on the return, throwing in a couple of sets of Bulgarians.

    Mid way through the owner of Rips showed up asking us to please make sure we use the handrails so he doesnā€™t get sued.

    Back up Marigny to home base stopping at each block for 1 set of 10 IC abs, then stopping by the pull up bars for 3 sets of 10 pull ups and 10 abs of choice.

    Center court for the abs finisher of Rosalita and Crunchy Frogs. Count, Name, and Waterpik prayed us out.

    Announcements: Krazy Ivan is this month, most likely on a weekday.

    Thanks for the post! SYITG – Akbar
