  • 24037 Tsunami – from Sea Man

    We record 14 showed up this morning for the Tsunami which became an impromptu Venti. We had 2 ruckers, 3 traditional Tsunami Runners, 9 Venti runners. Tsunami runners ran to the Levy, to JP line back up Oak and to Flag. Rest rendevoused for coffee at SB and back to flag for an early arrival.

  • Mostly the Same – from Nip/Tuck

    I went to Stiffler’s Mom this morning. It seems a little like visiting an indigenous tribe that has no contact with the outside world. I am happy to report that the Natives are still happily existing. Today we ran and we talked about Jennifer Coolidge. Not much has changed.

  • Change of Pace – from Sea Man

    It’s Tusnami! Fast group ran street car line past Washington and back for 5miles at just under 9 min pace! The pacers headed around the fly for 3.2 at 10:30 pace.

  • More Rarajapari – from Reluctant Yankee

    The PAX of uptown got some rarajapari on with RY as the Q. Ball and a partner. Mosey to John James Audubon.

    At the statue we did a mini – macdeuce 2 sets of 4 exercises x 12 (I struggled to hit 12 – not sure why I couldn’t remember)

    Then we long mosey’d to the HILL. At the HILL we lined up on the soccer field – 10 laps sprint to the other side jog back with 10 freddie merks/ 10 monkey humpers at the line.
    After 7 laps the train was getting too close.

    Sudden change – hustle to the other side of the train tracks so we don’t get stuck. Ran into a group of men exercising. El Wire with the attempted headlock.

    Mosey’d to labrynth but the clock was ticking – Douille had to bail. Made it to the flag one minute late – sorry my boys. Picked up balls and reset for next time.

    Reminder to be good humans and people. Gratitude for time and life.

    • Thanks to Yankee for having the idea of running my 181st 10K after the Birdcage as I raise money to help send 59 Louisiana athletes and 25 coaches to the 2022 USA Games in Orlando. Special Olympics has a lot of shared values with F3 – physical fitness, inclusivity, and leadership. Heartfelt thanks to everyone in F3 for their support of this fundraiser. If you would like to volunteer with Special Olympics, reach out to me and I can show you how.
    • Thanks to Bieber, Angie’s List, Mulligan, and Yankee for joining me for 10K #181. It’s always a big help to run with others.
    • I’m convinced that Bat Wings is totally mental. It sucked the first time I ever did it, but not anymore. I think my mind got used to it more than my shoulders. You get to a point, where your mind says “you should not be holding your arms up this long….PUT THEM DOWN.” But if you can get past that, your shoulders become fairly numb and it doesn’t hurt too much anymore. I’ve done it so many times now that I think it takes too long to really make it suck. I didn’t want to do much running or cardio today, so I was okay with spending 5 minutes basically doing arm circles.
    • I didn’t want to do much cardio, but there is too much science saying burpees are the best exercise ever, not to include them in a workout. I personally think you have failed as a leader if you don’t include at least 50 burpees in a workout. I’ve said what I said.
    • When we went to get coffee Yankee was telling the Baristas and the people in line that I had just completed my 181st 10K in a row. They immediately referenced much more impressive feats like “one of our customers runs a half-marathon every day” and “I follow a guy on Instagram that is running from San Francisco to New York and has run 1500 straight days.” Picture them with the McKayla Maroney face as they are saying this. They were clearly not impressed. Then he mentioned that I run in flip-flops and they lost their minds. They couldn’t believe that I had just run a 10k in a pair of $5 flip-flops. My marketing campaign will be changing for the second half of the year. I have clearly been stressing the wrong part of what I am doing.

  • Summer Sweat is Back – from Tinkles

    The days are starting to get a bit more humid and what was recently tolerable seems to be getting tougher. Today seemed that way, and I was happy when the workout was over.
    Warm Up:
    • Mosey around a bit and settle at the Tulane lawn
    • SSH IC x 30, Imperial Walker IC x 20, Forward arm circle IC x 20, Reverse arm circle IC x 20.

    First Thing:
    • 10 Burpees EMOM for 10 minutes- sorry about the lack of music, will do better next time!
    • Recover with some penguins IC x 20, and LBCs IC x 30

    Second Thing:
    • Mosey over to the garage, backwards run up the inclines and forward run the flats to the top
    • Down the stairs to the bottom and then back up the other staircase
    o To illustrate the lack of ventilation in the stairwell, someone’s weed lingered in the air adding to the sweat
    • Back down again

    Third Thing:
    • To the benches for right leg power up IC x 10, Decline merkins IC x 10, left leg power up IC x 10
    • Mosey back to the flag for some time killing wife pleasers

    COT:
    • Count off, namorama
    • Welcomed FNG. Previous run-in with Pop o’ Lock or friends yields ‘Perp’. Welcome Perp!

  • Time to use our arms again – from Mariah

    Large crowd for the first Wolfpack of March, and after a quick disclaimer we moseyed across St Charles to Loyola’s Palm Court for a Warm up. Like many, I’ve been wearing out the miles all of February for Run Cajun Run, and while I can now run fast and far, I can barely open a jar…time for a bit of upper body work.

    Warm up (all 15 ct in cadence):
    SSH, Peter Parker, Windmills, Carolina Drydock, Parker Peter

    Mosey over to the base of the mountain, at which point it was clear our numbers were problematic…we split into two waves and proceeded up the ramp for 2 rounds of BLIMPS with exercises at each landing.
    Burpees > Lunges > Imperial Walkers > Merkins > Plankjacks > Squats….repeato until the top.

    Large oval/ring of fire on the roof: merkins/wide arms/ diamonds

    Mary in cadence (15 ct): flutters, dollys, Russian twist, dying cockroach
    15 merkins OYO, then back down the ramps and out to the…

    Benches for the following (again 15ct in cadence):
    Dips >
    RL step ups >
    Incline merkins >
    LL step ups…
    ..OH SWEET JESUS, WHAT IS THAT SMELL?? Evacuate and hot mosey away from the truck pumping out the septic tank…. regroup at Palm Court and resume…
    LL step ups >
    Dips >
    RL Power-ups >
    LL Power-ups >
    All Ya Got Derkins.

    Mosey back to the flag for COT.

    33 pax for the workout, and welcome to FNG Will Jones from Son of a Saint, known now as The Beast.

    We gathered for a group Run Cajun Run photo with oversized check for over $6700 which we presented to Will and SoaS, which is amazing. I know I speak for many in being incredibly proud of both the financial support we are able to give, but also the fact that 200 of us and our NOLA friends stepped up to participate in Run Cajun Run and demonstrate our support for SoaS last month. Our support will surely have a direct impact on many young men in our community, providing hope, mentorship and a positive path.

    As always Thank You for the daily accountability and for the opportunity to lead.

    Until next time
    Xoxo,
    Mariah

  • Tsunami Mile Trial #3 – from Bieber

    Today marked our third mile trial at the Uptown Tsunami AO since we decided to copycat (sort of) the Wally Sprint. Perhaps in a time when COVID isn’t as rampant we can do a joint time trial with our cross-town brothers. On this Tuesday, however, the uptown usual suspects gathered at the starting line for 45 minutes that would see their heart rates peak early, and from there it was a task just to hang on.

    The Thang: .5 mile warm up followed by some light stretching, high knees, butt kicks, shuffles, and a sprint.

    1 mile at your best. Times ranged between 5:50 and 7:30 for the 7 runners.

    Next, we used the “Running Man” markers on the track at the park to fuel the rest of the workout, progressively speed up for 5 running men, jog for 5. That got us another lap around, followed by a .5 mile cool down.

    4.something miles total (depending on your watch)

    Excellent effort by all. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

  • I see a Bad Moon a rising! – from Bieber

    Four Pax embraced the final gloom of 2020 for a jaunt through the French Quarter. @Bad Moon joined us for the first time at this AO, and we launched into a 5.5 mile trek at sub 8 minute pace.
    The cool fog rolled off the river, and the usual suspects greeted us along the way. This run always goes by so quickly…so much to see.
    Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
    I hope 2021 helps me set my roots further with F3 and provides ample inspiration to continue striving to be the best version of myself. Wishing us all a great 2021.

  • No crossing the tracks – from Mariah

    six pax this morning for 5 miles at Tsunami.
    We set out to run the usual levee route, but when we exited Audubon Park and hit the levee the 5:30 Kansas City Southern was chugging its way out of town. So a no-go on the Levee but we detoured along River road and then cut back and took St Charles up to Carrollton and then Oak St back through Tulane, taking Freret over to Nashville, then back down to St Charles, and back to the flag. 5 miles on the dot, with 6 mins to spare.
