  • Don’t wait – Let’s Geaux – from Mahatma

    Typically Monday…..Blessed to be up for the start of a new week happy to be headed to the real RC. Pulled up 1 minute to spare walked into the bullpen and saw the look of something missing…..who’s the Q! Snooze but he’s a no show, who’s taking it – all it took was 3 seconds of silent indecision – it’s now 5:31 I’m Mahatma and your Q “Let’s Geaux”! To which there was well what about…..too late we were on the move to the rock pile.

    Circle up – pax community round robin warm up: most was the usual stuff yet one stood out by Kenabrah a combination of Imperial Squat Hillbilly FAILURE yet to his credit you don’t succeed without them. Triple shift had Tenderloin attempting one the warm ups which took him another 3 to get up from. Yet again success through making the effort out of a comfort zone.

    Everyone get a medium rock then mosey to the tree field – line up, everyone Kong to the other side. So many pax just love the idea that the original Kong is similar to “murder bunnies” come on man!!!

    Mosey to the front of the gym – everyone was warmed up now.

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.

  • Welcome to February – from Hokie

    8 Pax welcomed in February with 2.25 miles and a bunch of burpees

    After disclaimer, we moseyed to track for our warm up. Each 1/6 of a lap mosey we conducted a warm up such as ankle rolls, opening & closing gate, high knees, arm circles, some “clubbing”, neck rolls

    We continued to mosey in 1/6 of a lap increments with variations such as Running backwards, regular mosey, lunges forward, lunges backwards

    At each 1/6 lap stop we did either 5 or 6 burpees and then 10 of other exercises like shoulder taps or mountain climbers

    At 6:40, 6:50, 7:00 & 7:10 the alarm sounded and we did 1/4 mile mosey followed by 5 burpees and then shoulder taps while waiting on the six

    2.25 miles & 156 burpees later we stretched for 3 minutes to someone Mumblechattering the Q was just looking to waste time

    Stretch before & after your workouts and at least one day a week for an extended period to help prevent injuries.

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

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

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

  • Dora 1-2-3 on 1/23 – from Rudy

    YHC has Q for 3rd time in rapid succession. Much grumbling ensued. I think I offered a fake promise of No Burpees. But I had every intention of burpeeing through the morning. Disclaimer and head to the field for warm up. Immediately Charmin starts with “Waaah! I want Rocks!” Quick warm up, then time to get busy.

    January 23rd. 1st month, 23rd day. what else has those numbers? RIGHT – Dora! Count-off to find your partner, then to the sidelines. 100 burpees, 200 merkins, 300 squats. PAX 2 runs back and forth across the field.

    Finished up right on 6am, lets get over to the rocks. Time for…. Yup, another Dora 123! Different partner. 100 Shoulder Presses, 200 Curls, 300 Flutter Kicks. PAX 2 is holding their rock up while PAX1 completes 10/20/30 reps.

    Back to the flag with 3 mins to spare for some Mary. PAX disputes that Scantron’s choice of J-Lo counts as Mary, but we did it anyway.

    CoT with War Eagle praying us out.

  • Wet & Wild with Napoleon on Crack! – from Fracsac

    Torrential rains for a brief but brutal period the night before left the track and inner field looking more like a community pool than a field. Lucky for the Pax, YHC arrived early and set a few things up.

    Flag planted, classic rock on the speaker, disclaimer given, mosey in a direction to get us in a parking lot on the back side.

    Warmup with regular stuff, no clubbin though. We got stuff to do! Threw some Tempo Merkins in for good measure.

    Left leg and right leg power ups x 20 at the benches where they do pseudo yoga. Added 15 dips in between

    Mosey to where the cones were set up. 11 burpees at start, bear crawl to cone 10 burpees, continue the backwards Route 66 down to 1 burpee.

    Mosey to gymn where we did some Sunday Mornings x 3 on Hump Day!

    Mosey back to the cones, each pax stand near a cone. 5 burpees to get the pax to listen.

    The end pax throws the frisbee 2 pax down, receiving pax unable to move. If HIM catches it, continue down the line. If frisbee is dropped, 4 burpees for the group. 9 sets of burpees or 36 more. Add the 5 and 66 previously and we did 107 total.

    Mosey to the flag for CoT

    NMM

    It was great to see Napoleon from Birmingham back, and he brought Sergeant Crack with him!

    66 burpees , plus the 5 and then 9 sets of 4 burpees for frisbee drops, or 36 more, gave a total of 107! Well done!

    YHC kept the pax feet semi dry.

    Thanks for posting with me!
