LRC Run Group 203

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:03:29 +0000

Run Group 203 The Guest-ta-ture had a tally of 67. As "Jenjavanish" was not present to dictator-ate, "Bachelor Party" or J. Bertheud as more the normal folk know him by - was called in to sub this date. A glassy eye was kept to evaluate his signer-rate. Although some may have missed, the margin for pen-less paginate was A-rate thus keeping on an even keel LRC's fate to documentate. The run was called by another sub, no other than Guido's Mr. Newtos bub. The pack stung hard far, as people hid their faces to dodge the 2 wheelin' paparazzin' rick'less'shaw. A drive-by litter of photographic bombs were dropped, for what would one expect when running with the LRC crop. After the run Leone served amoretto slush, flavored pineapples, cherries - such a delicious mush. Chrissy Cusamano of HS fame ran her heath and wellness game. Over finger sandwiches she did talk, better than ice-cream in my opinion i certainly would chalk. Join us Wednesday for Run Group 203, Freezy Pops, Merrell giveaways… The run group where all ages and abilities are welcome. Free and fun. Run group recap done.

2012 Nicole Murphy Tiger Run – New Orleans, Louisiana

admin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 18:14:16 +0000

New Orleans: This past Saturday runners participated in the 2012 Nicole Murphy Tiger run held in Audubon Park. Despite the looming storms, runners braved the conditions as Richie Bouchert took the win over Doug Fields with a time of 16:28 in the 5K race while LSUHSC's own Kate Accardo took the women's title with a time of 19:08, defending her title from the previous year in the process.

Shortly following the race runners would have to enjoy their beer, snowballs, and lucky dogs under the cover of tents and Shelter #10 as the storms finally arrived - providing a cooling shower for the recent run.

Proceeds from the run went to benefiting the LSUHSC Medical Student Homeless Clinics that LSUHSC medical students have run under faculty supervision for the homeless for the past 21 years.

Runners prepare to circle the park, as race time draws near.

Richard Bouchert, the winner in 16:28!

LRC Run Group 201

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:52:35 +0000

As the clock struck 6:29.59, the small group of "hardcores" huddled on the porch and interiors of the LRC as they perched ready for their send off. The Starting location, NOT TIME, was pushed back to the shadows and overheads as the occasion forced a stray from the typical "Tree-O-Let's Go's". As that last second expired the dry turned wet as they plowed for the park. Some galloped and hurdled while Jenjasplashous preferred the more direct route, causing dodgement for the foolish-trod-hardies who tried to delay the inevitable (remaining un-wet). The park was circled… but for one it was blocked twice before a return. Glassbones once again turned glassy. Luckily there was a team of PT's on site to pressure him into a day of x-ray-ted fun. Chad minimalized Ralph in the race of simulated bare foots preferring an up-tempo run before his 25 mile slodge in Mandeville to be carried out on the morrow. Mr. Newton. Professional Hash-athlete. Team Bon Ivo. Join us Wednesday at 6:30 PM for Run Group 202, The run group were all ages and abilities are welcome!!!! For more info on run group including course maps etc click here.
