To Long Didn’t Read Version: As men, we have a hard time being vulnerable and showing other men the chinks in our armor. But, that’s a weakness like so many other things we do. Tomorrow is different. Tomorrow is Celebration Day where we will celebrate you and this great thing we get to do togetherContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – CELEBRATION DAY – Jolly Rancher Q – Nest at The County – 03/15/2025”

Yes, you read that right…the best day in the world is finally here! We’re going to celebrate things the right way as we’ve done the past few years at The County. That means we’re going to have all of the food choices that you love to smash down your piehole during Thanksgiving. You want mashedContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Thanksgiving Day Buffet at The County – Jolly Rancher Q – 11/28/2024”

It’s been a while since I’ve hung out with the PAX of LaGrange and surrounding areas. Looking forward to seeing some of the old faces and meeting some of the new. Weinke is still TBD – but bring a coupon just in case. Go time is 0530. See you there. Jolly Rancher out!

It’s been well over six months since I’ve Q’d, which is probably the longest by far – lots of excuses, but health obstacles and work are the two front runners. I love Q’ing (it’s the only time that people listen to me…well, most everyone) – and it’s time to get back in the saddle. ComeContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – The Nest at The County – 10/19/2024”

Yes, I know…I didn’t go anywhere on Spring Break either. So, let’s commiserate together at The County at 0530am tomorrow while we talk about all of those that are still sleeping in their vacation beds in faraway places near a beach. Bring a coupon. We’re going to go simple, but effective tomorrow. Jolly Rancher out!

Do you ever find yourself just meandering through life, but never accelerating? Never really taking a minute to pause, reflect and celebrate where you came from, where you are and where you are going? More importantly, celebrate that achievement with other men, which may challenge that man to accelerate, too? If you’re being honest, thenContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – 6th ANNUAL CELEBRATION DAY – Jolly Rancher Q – Wisteria at Pleasantville – 03/15/2024!”

Leading a workout as the Q always is a great experience and one I’ve always enjoyed and learned from. Zero regrets, ever. But, there’s something about Qing at The O which results in just a few more butterflies; a little more on edge; a little extra feeling of nervous excitement. I’m always wondering if I’llContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – Temple of Gloom at The O on 03/07/2024.”

Looking forward to another Q tomorrow at The County. We will focus on some circuit work, which means we will stay moving. Hope to see you guys there. We will need a few coupons – so bring it if you have them but if you are one of “those guys” that uses the on siteContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – The Loco at the County – 03/05/2024”

We will move some miles tomorrow at The Patriot. Won’t be long distances at once, but cumulatively it will add up for sure. Come on, I know deep down every one of you HIMs are Minutemen. So come on and show up! No coupons required! Jolly Rancher out!

It has been since August 16 of last year since I paid a visit to the haloed grounds of Vets. I’m looking forward to making a triumphant return and hope to see some familiar faces. Arms Day is on the menu. Bring a standard issued concrete masonry unit (CMU) with you. I know though howContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – The Chopper at Vets – 03/01/2024”

Tomorrow looks to be beautiful. It’ll be even better when I get to see your smiling face at The Boondocks at 0530am. Bring your coupon and get ready to have a good time. Jolly Rancher out!

Winter weather doesn’t stop the PAX at Bayside. Those dudes are real men. Can’t wait to be with them tomorrow in this beautiful weather. We will stay on the move with some short breaks for some body weight exercises. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

Another wonderfully looking winter weather on tap for tomorrow morning in the gloom. We will keep moving so that we can enjoy all of what the gloriousness of Posh has to offer the PAX. Leave the coupons at home! SYITG. Jolly Rancher out!

Tomorrow’s weather looks fantastic: Weather forecast in Jamaica…not Louisville. So, I sure hope everyone takes advantage of the opportunity to join me at The County at 0700am. We will be doing some coupon work as well as some running.  I urge you to come prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw at us… SYITG!Jolly Rancher out!

Yes, you read that right…the best day in the world is finally here! We’re going to celebrate things the right way as we’ve one in the past few years at The County. That means we’re going to have all of the food choices that you love to smash down your piehole during Thanksgiving. You wantContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Thanksgiving Day Buffet and Football at The County – 11/23/2023 – Jolly Rancher Q!”

Lots of options tomorrow as the weather looks beautiful, again. As our boys of the F3 Bourbon Chase Team are hitting the hills of Central Kentucky in the morning, we will try to embrace the suck alongside them. Don’t worry, 0700 to 0800 still – no overnight “sleeping” in a van with a bunch ofContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Nest at The County – 10/07/2023!”

I’m looking forward to another trip out to The Patriot on Wednesday. Always a great group of guys that aren’t afraid to put in a little work to jumpstart their day. Coupons required for admission. We will do a little bit of everything. Except burpees. That’s a Jolly, money-back guarantee. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

That’s right boys – you read that right. Jolly’s headed outside the 40056 on a Saturday to Q a workout at The Fog at Posh. Some even call it Majestic. It’s going to be a great morning where you are sure to experience a little bit of everything. But, no coupons will be required forContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Fog at Posh – 09/16/2023”

I’ve been on record several times that I can’t say no when someone reaches out and wants me to Q at their location…so, here I am – packing my bags and headed down south to join the (wo)men of Vets because your boy Fertile Myrtle reached out. I’m honored to be chosen and hope IContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Tank – 08/16/2023”

Can’t believe it has been five years… Come on out to The County and celebrate with me and see what glorious words of wisdom I can impart on you that you’ll forget about the next day. You can expect some heavy running off campus as we take a few trips down memory lane together. Also,ContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Jolly Rancher’s 5-Year Postiversary – The Nest at The County – 08/05/2023”

A few weeks ago I was trying to force myself to get up on a Monday and post. It started last week with a Q at Posh and this week was a Q at The Patriot. It has been a while since I made my way up I-71 to meet the HIM that call thisContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Minuteman at The Patriot – 07/17/2023”

Never miss a Monday. Rumor has it the Ghost Flag still resides at The Patriot. Hope that means some visitors will be making the journey. Bring coupons! SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

Woke up late and send PK a text to let him know I’d be coming in hot. Rolled into the lot at 0531 to see PK leading the men (Ladybird, Bob Ross, Presto, Wax On) on a quick mosey. I joined in progress and we made a quick stop at the bridge for some COPContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Incubator at Posh – 07/10/2023”

It’s been a month or so since I have Q’d – which is a long time for me. Looking forward to getting back in the saddle to lead the HIMs of the Poshlands. We will be on the move with some interval running mixed with some sets of work as an active rest. Let’s getContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – The Incubator at Posh – 07/10/2023”

Had a couple of days battling a bad case of fartsackitus this week. So, no better cure than to pick up a Q. The Nest is by far my favorite post of the week – looking forward to the mumblechatter and the nonsense that comes with it tomorrow. Come on out and join me atContinueContinue reading “Jolly Rancher Q – The Nest at The County – 06/10/2023.”

Tomorrow is the anniversary of D-Day. Just think about that when you sleep through the alarms tomorrow morning and decide to not post and stay in the fartsack. It’s the incredible heroism of those that came before us that we get the privilege of waking up and posting at 0530am to something that we thinkContinueContinue reading “Prevlast – Jolly Rancher Q – D-Day at the Boondocks – 06/06/2023!”

Come join me tomorrow at The Mutt as I pick up my bounty from winning the bourbon raffle from Old Bay! I have no idea what we’ll be doing just yet, but that’s pretty typical for a Mutt Q, right? So, I’m sure we’ll be fine. We may make use of some coupons, but IContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Rooster at The Mutt – 04/25/2023!”

My bags are packed for the big trek out to over yonder to visit the fine PAX that call Stable their home. Looking forward to getting another stamp on my passport and the fresh set of tires in preparation for the long drive. Bring a coupon and let’s do this. SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Weather looks like another winner tomorrow. It’s been a hot minute since I made it over to Vets – so I’m excited to meet some of the new faces and hope some of the OGs make it out, too. I’m also glad the PAX that call those sacred grounds their home AO are real menContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Chopper at Vets – 03/24/2023”

Go time is 7am tomorrow. No coupons required, but expect some moderate to heavy running…because, well, Saturday is Run Day. We will venture off campus just to set your expectations. Lots of options to get more better beginning though at 5am and 6am options for extra credit running if you’re feeling froggy. SYITG!
