    Danger Zone 11/4

    YHC was not at the latest running of the Danger Zone on Monday. No one was at the latest running of the Danger Zone other than Hawg. Hawg did many dynamic stretches. He sprinted 5 times. No one was injured. His legs were sore the following day. Hawg will continue to sprint 5 times every Monday morning at the City Park Track in preparation for the 2049 Boston Marathon. Join him at your own risk.

    Wally Run 11/7

    Six men came out for the Wally Run on this delightful fall morning. In an attempt to establish a standard route, Rev Sox led the men on the same course as the first three Wally Runs.

    Following the disclaimer, the Pax ran around Pontiff to the park exit opposite of the imaginary flag (where are all the flags lately?). The Pax ran the two mile lap around the big houses in Metairie while engaging in profound conversations. Mambi truly missed out this morning.

    The Pax finished the lap around Pontiff at our return, and we ran a 2nd lap around the park for a 4 mile run in total. The Pax ended with stretching and the discovery that YHC knows nothing about stretching.

  • “This isn’t The Stomp!”

    YHC arrived early for round two of the Wally Run. This week seven men arrived early to stretch and begin the run. YHC announced we would complete a three-mile loop through the neighborhood and finish with some work on the track.

    The seven fearless Pax members started off down the Pontiff track. A ¼ of a mile through the run, a dark shadowy figure approached. It was as strong as an ox, sneaky as a snake, and quick as a cheetah. It was the man, the myth, the legend—it was Hawgcycle! The eight men together completed the run and finished on the track. Some incorporated sprints, others simply kept running.

    At 6:10, the wannabe Q, Rev Sox stopped running to include Mary. YHC questioned such a decision. Rev Sox said, “At The Stomp, we always do Mary at the end.” Well, Reverend Sox, “This isn’t The Stomp!” But, YHC obliged and concluded with LBCs, Flutter Kicks, and Reverse Crunches.

    T-claps to Hokey Pokey. He was hesitant to try the three-mile loop but endured and finished. T-claps to Boo Boo. He expressed multiple times that he was not a runner but he came and completed the run anyway. T-claps to Rev Sox, Pai Gow, and Hobbs for constantly sweeping the six. T-claps to Tua and Hawg –we all want to be like you when we grow-up!

    It was a pleasure to lead. Join us every Thursday at Pontiff for the Wally Run. You won’t be disappointed.

  • The Inaugural Wally Run (aka 31 Gaser)

    After much discussion, the decision was made that Metairie needed a Thursday run-focused workout. It was unclear if the AO arose from a need for more running, a need for another beatdown in Metairie, or a pure hatred for Okwata. Nonetheless, six men appeared in the gloom at Pontiff playground for this inaugural beatdown.

    Pai Gow, Mambi, and Hobbs arrived early to complete their first PT test introduced by Boo Boo at Popeyes. Hokey Pokey assisted them in completing their merkins and situps and clocked their times for a two-mile run. Rev Sox and YHC began the work of mapping out a “traditional route” for this workout.

    After the two-mile run, four of the men continued running around the clay track. Rev Sox and YHC completed a three-mile run through the neighborhood before joining the remaining pax on the track. We all concluded with a five minute round of Mary and naming of the new AO.

    Mambi suggested something with 31 in honor of Wally Pontiff. 31 Gaser was suggested considering Mambi farted in Pai Gow’s face during situps. YHC concluded that 3 Gaser would require too much explanation and was too wordy therefore the Wally Run claimed the official name.

    Join us next Thursday at Pontiff Playground for the second installment of the Wally Run.
