  • City hall scramble – from Waterpik

    4 posted for the weekly scramble at mandeville city hall. Akbar was the only rucker. He is planning an Irish themed beatdown for the lakefront Saturday morning.
    It would be nice to have a good showing, as numbers have been meager lately.

  • 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.

  • Playing in Muddy puddles!! – from Shooter

    With 7.5 inches of rain from the previous day and misty conditions in this Gloom.
    5 PAX made the post at the scramble for a mix of warmups and roughly 4 miles through the streets of Mandeville. I promise this time I was not bashing anything about the sidewalk installation. In fact Hammer and I were having good chadder along the newly paved path. We had to detour at one point as it has not yet been completed. Well that is where the Muddy puddle comes in as we both nearly took a spill as we tried to switch from sidewalk to shoulder in a sloppy exchange. Luckily neither of us did and one day we will get to journey this newly installed shoulder to a shoulder as Pelican stated..

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

  • Nothing new here but detours! – from Shooter

    4 PAX joined YHC this Gloom for the Scramble.
    Started with the normal warmup of exercises 20IC SSH, Toe Touches, Imperial Walkers, Grass Grabbers, Cherry pickers and finished with Al Gore hold 2 jump squats per PAX around 2x.

    Route was out and down Messina, left on Monroe through the circle back out to West Beach to the Lake. Steve and Waterpik set a quicker pace and I believe turned past the bridge. YHC detoured Jose10k and Hammer 3/4 of a way down a private road and back out to also turn past the bridge and back to the AO..
    Distance for all somewhere between 3.8 and 4.2..

    Congratulations to Hammer on a contract for his home and he did the honors in closing us with COT..

    Until the next gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Let’s try this again!! Both sidewalks and BB!! – from Shooter

    Well, my first BB was pretty good, then I got to the end to submit and it simply disappeared..
    So, for the condensed version, which will not give the first its due..
    Variation of cadence counts Mummy kicks, SSH, Abe Vogodas, Good mornings, Seal jacks, Toe Touches and Ring of Fire 🔥 Al Gore hold with 2 rounds of each PAX completing 2 jump squats.

    A little over 4 miles and returned right on time..

    Count, announce/intensions, and appreciate the respected Akbar for the close in prayer..

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Splashing Merlot – from Waterpik

    I guess the man was sick but it would considered very uncommon for a grizzled F3 veteran like Jose 10k to vomit during a beatdown, but vomit he did! In his defense he said he was ill. I’ll take his word for it.

    Now to the workout:
    The pax ran 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 miles today. It depended on who you asked. Everyone’s watch or phone was different.

  • That’s gonna leave a mark!! – from Shooter

    With 5 PAX this gloom YHC decided to take a stroll down East causeway on a tour of our future sidewalk to be. Of course being the critic that I can often be, I expressed my comments about how we spend tax dollars here in Mandeville, as if maybe I know better. Nevertheless, as we continued to mosey turning down Monroe, YHC quickly found the elevated drain, which would quickly humble this critic as I took a plunge on to the pavement… Must admit if any of my F3 brethren ever want to trade professions any one of them would make great first responders as they quickly jumped to action in concern of my fall.. Much appreciated find gentleman!!

    Enough with my mishaps..

    Began with 10&15 IC, Hillbillies, Toe Touches, SSH, Imperial walkers, Torso twists and a wonderful stretch movement shared by Einstein the previous day.

    Our Mosey was down East causeway, up Monroe, back down through old Golden shores around and back to Monroe returning up Messina and around the horn of the park.

    Finished with Mary 15IC and some OYO exercises 💯s, Big Boys, Hello Dollies, Flutter kicks, WW1 sit-ups and some EOKs..

    Appreciate each of you for your concerns of my safety and allowing me to lead!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!
