  • Half and Half plus Mambi hits a streak – from Bolt

    6 pax faced the gloom on this pleasant morning of the Mardi Gras season, 3 to run and 3 to ruck. Coincidentally, this makes 3 posts in a row for our most recent Kotter: Mambi which qualifies as a streak; well done and keep the streak alive! We are here for progress, not perfection and we are never “done!”

  • Mardi Gras Mambo Misery – from Bolt

    IMHO, Mardi Gras is the greatest holiday of the year so YHC decided to bring a little bit of that “only in New Orleans” flavor to the Gloom this morning where seven pax showed up. Krewe of PAX members assembled at mid field to ready ourselves for the parade which a couple getting held up briefly by the train. Warm up of the usual stuff except with Mardi Gras music. Time for the Krewe of PAX to meander along the route as there would be inevitable stoppages during which we would pass time with exercises.

  • Another Limerick and a Joke – from Charmin

    Rucker rucked and runners ran
    But nowhere was my regional Nantan
    Compared to Bolt us ruckers were slowpokes
    But to make up for it, YHC told a joke
    But but by the end, we were all a better man

    The joke:

    Two cowboys are riding through the desert and are running out of food
    The first cowboy calls out because he sees a short tree with bacon hanging from it.
    Delighted he starts running towards it. Before the second cowboy can react, the first cowboy is shot from out of nowhere.
    The second cowboy, pauses and screams out, “That wasn’t a bacon tree, it was a ham bush!”

  • F’n A.L.A.R.M.S. Blaring – from Mayhem

    YHC arrived early to assess the grounds and avoid a train delay. Committed to keeping the PAX off the hill and out of the grass for the most part.

    Flag planted by @Fracsac, disclaimer given, mosey halfway to the rocks. Warmup location reminiscent of where @Mahatma took us my first day ever posting 11/28/22.

    Warmup included SSH, AV, GG, Arm Circles, Reverse Arm Circles, PP, PP. 10 burpees OYO. No clubbin’ to @Charmin’s dismay.

    Mosey to the rock pile. Medium rock selected and head to the parking lot.

    Round 1
    A – 50 curls with rock
    L – 50 squats with rock
    A – 100 LBCs
    R – 250yd run (one PAX brought the rock)
    M – 25 merkins
    S – 25 SSH

    Round 2
    A – 50 shoulder press with rock
    L – 30 lunges with rock, 2 is 1
    A – 100 flutter kicks, 2 is 1
    R – 250yd run (one PAX brought the rock)
    M – 25 merkins
    S – 25 SSH

    Return the rocks, penguins, one-legged wife pleasers. Mosey to the flag for CoT.

    @Fracsac reminded @Kenna Brah not to forget to set his ALARM in the future. To which @Kenna Brah decided to give YHC an ‘F’ for Q… “F’n A.L.A.R.M.S. Blaring”

    Let’s all keep @Macgyver in our thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks for posting with me! My 2nd Q and 17th post in 2023!

  • Napoleon fueled by Ethanol – from Fracsac

    13 Pax showed up, with 7 headed to stretch and 6 taking advantage of the track. Regardless of sprinting, walking or stretching, showing up is what is important!

    Ethanol and Napoleon from Birmingham joined YHC and Mayhem for sprint ladders, RevSox and Tenderloin walked, and the rest of the Pax stretched with Scantron.
