  • What the Ruck is going on you Ruckers? – from Shooter

    Well, I expect the runners at the Scramble. Where are my Ruckers at? Hogsbreath has stayed committed even after the RCR.. So, I ask again but more specific where are my Mandeville Ruckers at?
    Thats the theme of the morning as 5 HIMs moseyed through Mandeville, eventually running into 1 Rucker on Messina.. Prior to the mosey a light warmup of 10IC and 15IC Mummy kicks, Selflove, Butt kicks, Seal jacks, Good mornings and some run stretches.. We returned to the AO and completed 5mins of 10IC Mary Little Manny crunches, L/R elbow to knee F/J, heels to heaven 10 OYO and Nolan Ryan’s L/R F/J finishing with a Waterpik go too 20 Merkins..

    Appreciate the post and see you in the Gloom!!

  • It is done! – from Shooter

    Well the Scramble has lost some excitement from the previous weeks numbers, however 6 HIMs still took the red pill 💊 on this beautiful Gloom.
    With 7 days remaining for RCR and every man having different goals to finish. YHC made sure to at least give each man 4.33 miles this morning. Arrived with Steve already out there logging miles and Hammer stretching preparing for the run..
    0515 came and after some warmups of 10IC Imperial walkers, SSH, MC, Superman’s, selflove, Cherry pickers and Scorpion kicks.
    Bushwacker and Hogsbreath rolled in hot..
    YHC was able to finally keep the PAX on the newly completed sidewalk down to Monroe and zig zagged back through Mandeville and returning to AO.
    Lots of great chatter..

    Appreciate the post and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Well that changed quickly! – from Shooter

    YHC rolled up to 2 PAX in Hammer and Waterpik at the Scramble expecting to have a light showing. Out of the darkness Jose10k and Steve appear and the the headlights just kept coming in. Before long the PAX quickly swelled to 10 and so we did a simple warmup of Imperial walkers, SSH, Grass grabbers, Good mornings and Seal jacks..
    Route was down toward Monroe and zig zagged our way through the streets while 4 PAX Rucked out for 20 and back.

    Appreciate the great showing the last two weeks gentleman. Let’s keep it up..

    Keep checkin Slack as Hogsbreath will posting a date at the 007 for his 40 year birthday beatdown to come…

    Until the next gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year – from Steve

    Pik strolled up to the Scramble this morning to find a pax of 9 already huddled (and another with his weathered Charity sweatshirt coming in hot), and he wondered what the hell was going on. Then he remembered, oh yeah, IT’S FEBRUARY.

    That’s right, the second most wonderful time of the year, where if you miss one day of running, you realize you’ll need 8-10 miles the next day just to make up for it. Or, if you’re Frank, simply run a full marathon instead of a half (and, of course, 4 murphs instead of two).

    Anyway, big pax assembled today for the start of RCR 2024, even turning some ruckers (JV and Russo) into runners, and bringing out old familiar (yet clean shaven) faces like Chewy.

    Lakefront route today, all the way to Girod to get us a little past 4 miles. Went a little over on time also, my apologies fellas.

    COT with straggler ruckers still rolling in, and Hammer prayed us out. T-claps to all the pre-thangers – Jose, Hammer, Waterpik.

    Don’t forget to log your miles: https://www.runcajunrun.com/mileage-log/ It is a leap year, so hey, with that extra day now is the time to shoot for the RCR record of 403 miles.

    Oh, and even though there’s been no buzz about it and no one even knows where the hell the Freedom Hammer lives and there’s an event in Thibodaux that morning, the Krazy Ivan is indeed still happening on Saturday, Feb 17th, at 8pm. If you don’t have a tank top, Sogo can probably lend you one.

  • One, oh One – from Hogs Breath

    One, oh One

    So YHC arrived at the 007 about 10 minutes early. And Lo’ no one else arrived!

    But this I was out, so

    Warm up
    Some karaoke, butt kickers, torso twists, world’s greatest, ya’ know stuff like that.

    The Thing

    Mosey’d to the coupon pile and picked out a coupon

    10 manmakers
    15 squats
    20 curls for the girls
    – mosey to pull up bar AMAP

    Later rinse and repeat for 4 rounds.
    Ran a lap around the park circle.

    Bicep Curl x10
    Overhead Press x10
    Tricep Extension x10
    Squat x10

  • Squats and Ladders – from Pass Interference

    After an abbreviated warmup, YHC chose three stations for a roundrobin of several exercises increasing by 3 @ each station each round. Merkins, squats, lunges, more merkins, and big boys.

    Then taking a cue from Hogs, we did a slow mosy around the Christmas lights and stopped for squats at Santa’s sleigh, and some other miscellaney until time was called.

  • To Bata or not Tabata – from Mobydick

    An overcast damp AO greeted the PAX this morning. Apologies to the runners. No moseying. After a 10 minute stretch and a little butt kicking and SSH YHC turned over the workout to the Tabata app. 45 sec exercise 30 sec rest. 6 exercises SSH/squats/merkins/crunches/freddie mercuries/box cutters 5 sets of each 1 minute between sets. Timed sets give everyone the chance to pack in all the reps he can.
    COT. and prayer for acceptance.

  • Mile for a Blimp – from Pass Interference

    YHC threw together a simple but strenuous workout this morning, that consisted of

    Warmup:
    – SSH
    – Copperhead squats
    – Imperial Squat Walkers

    First Thang was a a slow-mosy merkin mile, where 5 of some exercises were done at each driveway. We varied the exercises at random points through the mile.

    Second Thang, and this is when Pauly D showed up, we did a modified version of Hindenberg BLIMPS. With two stations, we performed 3 of the first exercise (Burpees), ran to station 2 and did 6, then returned. Then we followed in increments of 3, beginning with 9 and then 12 Lunges (one as one). Then continued through Imperial Walkers (NOT the Squat version), Merkins, Plank Jacks and Squats.

    Did a little mosy at Hogs’ suggestion to get us to the end of our time.

  • Modified Combine – from Hogs Breath

    First things first, yhc seriously considered calling an audible and fartscking this morning. It was only that yhc knew he had a commitment to show up and Q.

    As yhc pulled into The 007, there was Pass interference waiting and eager!

    Warm up:
    SSH, buttkicks, mountain man poopers, squat + touchdowns, and arm circles

    The thang:
    YHCE recently saw an Instagram reel which explained 95% of men over 40 will never sprint again in their lifetime.

    So we began with a couple of combine style 40 yard sprints. One pax kept a timer while the other would sprint, then mosey back and switch. Rinse, lather, and repeat for three rounds.

    A round of pull ups.

    Then a best of a 3, backwards Sprint.

    Next on to the strength portion of our combine, we mosey’d over to the rock pile, and grabbed the biggest coupons we could muster.
    Three rounds of chest press, and three rounds of squats.

    Back over to the flag for agility. A few rounds of twinkle toes, which included left, right, foreword and backward shuffles, and dropping for a merkin.

    Finished off with a lap mosey and COT.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead, and knowing pax counted on me for the Q.

  • Polar Agility – from Murdock

    Ladder drills are difficult…even more difficult when it’s cold. At least that’s our excuse. Today we did a mash up of 1st&10 and 7 of Diamonds and threw in a ladder drill for some agility. Success…no injuries! (Though I’m still untangling the ladder) Had a few minutes to spare at the end of the beat down, so we decided to experiment with the F3 workout deck and finished up with some Mary. Today was my first Q and it is confirmed that I cannot count. Thankfully my brothers can!
