Who’s driving the bus today? – from Mobydick
6 gentlemen at the a1c got together to get some exercise in, some f2, and some good German jokes from our resident comedian, BBQ. Warm-ups: yes, there was a warm-up
The Thang: lunge walk the parking garage, then merkins, then freak nastys, then multiple core exercises. 2 calf raises on each step all the way down to the ground floor, karaoke up the ramp, more core exercises, karaoke up the next ramp, more merkins, cooperhead squats, then round robin mary. Moby prayed us out. -

The Fairy Ring – from Akbar
14 strong today – with a little EH help from Shooter’s backblast – on this wet gloom for a pre Saint Paddy’s day celebration.
Legend has it that fairy rings were caused by fairies, elves, and Leprechauns dancing in a circle. If humans joined in the dance they would be punished and made to dance in the ring until they passed out from exhaustion – or DIED. In 1518, the French town of Strasbourg experienced it and other outbreaks across Europe happened in the 10th century.
It is an unsolved public health mystery, and the most recent case showed up in Mandeville, La at the Lakefront beatdown. There were exercises, dancing, moaning, and groaning, and yes – Fairies.
Pax : Baby Yoda, Waterpik, Pass Interference, Jose 10k, Duke of Hazzard, Wicket, Bushwhacker, The Hammer, Brexit, Bird, Steve, Russo, Shooter, Akbar
Warm Up: x10 IC: SSH, Windmills, Arm Circles, Swimmers, Backstroke, Overhead Claps, Toe Touches, Grass Grabbers
Mosey over towards Rips, circle up for instructions.
The Thang
6 exercises x 10 OYO – while listening to YHC’s high school playlist, with an Irish jig after each song. When the Irish jig came on we would mosey in a circle until finished, and pick back up where we left off. A non-stop 30 minute beatdown with no breaks.
The idea was full body on the wall – (Jose10k noted this was mostly upper body). Then lower body on the Irish Jigs. YHC did not do the math, but the Irish Jigs were around 50 seconds, and the other songs were an average of 3.5 minutes.
Exercises:
Wide Tempo Merkin, Step Ups (2 is 1), Freak Nasty, Renegade Row, Reverse Grip Irkin, Stone Mountain
Irish Jig: High knees, Hallelujah runs, lunge walks, runs, butt kicks
Fairies are Real
A quarter way through the playlist took on a mind of its own, skipping ahead, playing a song for 3 seconds, then all together stopping. Were the fairies messing with Q? We killed the tunes and pushed forward. With no music, it looked like the scene from Halloween when the prisoners escaped from the loony bin.Time called and we moseyed back to the Flag for some leg work.
3 sets x10 IC of Sister Mary Catherines, Calf Raises, Copperhead Squats
Mary x10 IC: Freddy Mercury, Hello Dolly, Rosalita, Flutter Kicks, Heels to Heaven, Hummingbirds (100 100’s), LBC’s
Time called, reverse count, name-o-rama, YHC prayed us out, and we headed to Coffeeteria.
Thanks for coming out and following the lead.

LAST Friday of RunCajunRun – from Jose10k
YHC, sore calf and all, decided to prethang a little early and a lot slower. 3 other younger HIMs joined me at 5:15 for the last official RunCajunRun beatdown at the A1C. Warm-ups, of course, mumble chatter, check, running…double check. 5 burpees, 10 squats, 15 big boys, followed by a 1/4 mile run. Rinse and repeat. Modify as needed or as wanted to get extra mileage in. Einstein prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead gentlemen. Pork Chop Express and Unitards Unleashed are meeting next Thursday for a final runcajunrun get together. Reach out to me for more info.

The Nashville Nasty in the war torn Gipper – from Jose10k
YHC arrived to a very, very chilly Gipper. It was a disaster. Trash everywhere, beads everywhere, camping chairs all around, total wasteland. This is were I would love to insert a great GIF to paint y’all a picture of the Gipper. Steve’s right, we need to be able to add pictures and GIFS. Maybe even insert short youtube clips. I began a little prethang run (keep logging in those RunCajunRun miles) to arrive to see 5 others who took the red pill this morning. A little grumble grumble with Akbar for leaving me high and dry (figuratively) on Monday. However, imitation is the highest form of flattery. I decided to use his Nashville Nasty workout from Saturday on the Covington AARP crowd. Squat thruster, curls, rows, derkins, skull crushers, and world war 2 situps. 10 reps each, 1/4 mile run, 11 reps each, 1/4 mile run, etc…Modifications were made, coupons were destroyed, extended laps to log in for RunCajunRun miles were made. I can’t wait for February to be over. COT, Akbar prayed us out. Intentions: Turbo dog is getting a pedicure today. My wife and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary of our 1st date today. Thank y’all for letting me lead, thank y’all for reading too.

Fool in the rain – from Jose10k
YHC showed up early to the marsh to, yet again, put in some of those runcajunrun miles in. I saw that Hammer took the Q, so I knew he was going to be there shortly. Lap after lap, I saw no “Little Red Chevy” while listening to my usual Prince song. He fartsacked on me, plus no other Mandevillians showed up either. At that moment, the sky opened up and it began pouring down like crazy. What to do?
Simple: turn up the music, rip off the shirt, and run sprints from stop sign to stop sign all through the streets of Mandeville. As I’m sitting in the office waiting to be scanned by the hottest tech in the world, my wife, I wonder what kept everyone away: the weather, the superbowl , Mardi Gras parades, was it something I said, was it something I did, the train washed away my smell, what was it? Why didn’t anyone show? I now know how Russo feels like at the splash pad…. I’m just a Fool in the Rain!
