Yes, indeed! This week is always tough to re-enter the life of normal after taking off so much time around the holidays for me. That said, tomorrow is Hump Day! So, let’s celebrate the success of making it through the first half of the week so we can just cruise out the rest of theContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Escalator @ The Abyss – 01/05/2022”

Tis the season, right? So, when Kilo mentioned he was stuck in Detroit until late and wouldn’t be back in time for this Q at The Patriot I offered to help him out and pick it up. This meant planning the weinke on the fly. Good thing I have a decent commute to get thereContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – BlackOps at The Patriot – 12/22/2021”

Ho, ho, ho!Ebenezer Scrooge is back at it again. His abused and underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, is tired of working the long hours and having poor working conditions while receiving nominal pay for his efforts. So, ‘ol Cratchit is breaking out of his shell to create a Jolly (Rancher) Christmas Celebration at The Nest atContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – A Jolly (Rancher) Cratchit Christmas Celebration – The Nest @ The County – 12/18/2021”

We say it all the time, but F3 Louisville is truly made up of high impact men. It’s powerful to see the bleeding hearts at work for those that were directly impacted by the tornadoes in Western KY. The outpouring of love and desire to “go” or “give” is powerful. And, together we CAN makeContinueContinue reading “Western KY Relief Efforts – “GO” and “GIVE” Details!”

Posting on Monday can be a challenge for many. Posting the first Monday back from a week long vacation is a bit more challenging. Posting at 0500 at The Abyss on Monday after a week long vacation is even tougher. And then, add to that the spirit of Flip Flop signing me up to QContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Motivator at The Abyss – 12/06/2021”

A month or so ago, Flip Flop decided to “voluntell” people that they signed up to Q at The Motivator. I’ll give him credit – an unconventional method, but here I am writing a pre-blast for a workout tomorrow morning at The Abyss. That said, come on out and join me bright and early tomorrowContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Motivator at The Abyss – 12/06/2021”

Props to Hushpuppy for shaking the tree to get me to post this backblast. Well, he reminded me on Saturday and it’s the following Wednesday – but, I’ll still give him credit for making sure I did it. Double props to Hushpuppy for throwing something on mumblechatter the day before this Q because otherwise IContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Loco at The County – 11/16/2021”

Weather looks great tomorrow – only a 14% chance it won’t rain at 7am for the traditional holiday hour workout, which features a little later start and a full hour of fun [sure wish Fructose was still around to poke fun at him again for that one]. The workout will be split into two halvesContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Thanksgiving at The County @ 7am – 11/25/2021”

Man. I sure am glad I checked Slack and that the Site Q is promoting and selling his site tomorrow – otherwise I would have pulled a Kilo on my scheduled Q tomorrow morning and fart sacked it. We’ll keep things pretty simple tomorrow in the gloom – some running mixed with some normal fanfare.ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Loco at The County – 11/16/2021”

Man, that felt good. It’s been a hot minute since I was able to Q – fearing that the run training would increase the probability of a Q fartsack. So, I put the Qs in low gear for a while. But…in the great words of Randy Quaid on Independence Day: HELLO BOYS…I’M BAAAAAACK! Time wasContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Defender @ The Patriot – 11/12/2021”

Words don’t express how excited I am that the half marathon is over. Am I glad I did it? You better believe it. But, I’m also glad that I get to get back to regularly scheduled programming which is posting around the region and Qing! Tomorrow, you’ll need a coupon and some gloves for groundworkContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Defender @ The Patriot – 11/12/2021”

I always love going to AOs that I don’t call “home.” I’ve been doing a lot of run training lately so that has certainly limited my abilities to travel. So, I was excited to hit the road and visit the men at Vets last Friday for the annual Nantan audit. As noted in my pre-blast,ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Chopper at Vets – 10/15/2021”

Capstone workout of the week will be at Vets tomorrow. Come on out and join me. I’ll also be completing my annual audit of Vets and the PAX that call this AO their home. Sadly, my last visit was almost 6-months ago and I need to make sure things are still on track. I’ll beContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Chopper at Vets – 10/15/2021”

Posting on a Monday has become a necessity for me to help start the week off right. If I fartsack on Monday, then it’s that much easier to fartsack on Tuesday…then Wednesday, etc. That said, when Stick Up reached out and asked me to pick up a Q, I obliged. Time was called and disclaimersContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Incubator @ Posh – 09/13/2021”

A few months ago I looked ahead and saw that a September 11 Q was open at The Nest. For those that regularly follow me [I don’t have anyone to call out like Pelican does], you may have picked up on the pattern that I love Qing and posting at The Nest. So, this pairedContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – 09/11/2021 – 20 Years Later – The Nest @ The County.”

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve Q’ed over at Posh. That said I couldn’t say no to Stick Up for calling me out to sign up for a Q. Unfortunately for the PAX, Monday is run training. So, we will be doing a fair share of it for the weinke. Nothing too crazy thoughContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Jolly Rancher Q – Incubator at Posh – 09/12/2021”

For many, the events of 09/11 will forever be our generation’s Pearl Harbor, JFK assassination, or MLK assassination. We’ll always remember where we were when we first were notified of the tragic events that would continue to unfold in the days thereafter. It all started at 08:46am when the North Tower of WTC was hitContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – 09/11 Anniversary Q – 20 Years Later – The County – 09/11/2021”

It’s always a great drive down US 60 to head over to Bayside. There’s always zero traffic at 0-dark-thirty in the morning headed that way. It’s just the wildlife you have to be careful of – and I didn’t have any issues this morning. At 0530am, Ruby was sauntering out of his truck but IContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Max @ Bayside – 09/07/2021”

Tuesday Q after a long holiday weekend. And the one long holiday weekend that also happens to be the opening of college football. The opening of college football on a long holiday weekend that my Louisville Cardinals don’t kick off until 8pm on Monday night. This could either suck or be really easy. The outcomeContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Max @ Bayside – 09/07/2021”

Rolled into Pleasantville with a few headlights and cars in the circle, which is always a great sign. Rolled in and was great to see Mankini coming back out – and lucky for him I had a coupon with his name on it in my trunk! Disclaimers provided at 0530am as YNot emerged from hisContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 08/06/2021”

Yes, I’m delinquent in the back blast. I don’t really have any great excuses. I’ll admit that the workout itself was nothing fancy or extraordinary…so, I’m not even really going to talk about that. But, this workout was a milestone for me and I wanted to try and make this back blast more than justContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Jolly’s Postiversary – The Loco at The County – 08/03/2021”

I love me some Pleasantville. Come get’chu some. Bring a coupon. SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Come celebrate tomorrow at The County with me: 3 years of F3 Louisville100 Qs600 Posts Bring a coupon and gloves for ground and coupon work. Running shoes as well for some moderate running. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

The first of what is hopefully many opportunities to converge with Black Men Run in the Louisville area is complete. The weather was beautiful, the location was perfect, the mumblechatter was high, and the encouragement during the workout was strong to quite strong. We started the day off with a pre-ruck, led by Handbook -ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – F3 and BMR Convergence – 07/24/2021!”

Saturday is sure to be a great day for two organizations in Louisville that push this community to grow better men. In what is to my knowledge the first of its kind, we’re having a convergence style workout that brings together F3Louisville and Black Men Running, or BMR. BMR is a group that focuses onContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – BMR + F3 Convergence – 07/24/2021 @ Big Four Bridge”

Will keep this short and sweet…bring a coupon and a friend. Gloves if you are in to those, too. Looking forward to it! SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Great morning as always at Pleasantville. My Top Ten list in the pre-blast (which I don’t think anyone that showed up actually read) spoke all truth about why I love this place. For those that haven’t been recently, you should make a trip. Would also be awesome if you could EH some FNG residents ofContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Wisteria at Pleasantville – 07/16/2021”

I thought I’d give you the top ten reasons to post at Pleasantville tomorrow with me – David Letterman style: 10. No coupons required for those that have somehow managed to survive the pandemic without actually keeping one in your car. 9. Pleasantville offers the Q almost anything you could want to incorporate into yourContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 07/16/2021”

Bayside has been on fire lately – they’re getting pretty much double digit PAX attendance for each of the regularly scheduled WOs, and today was no different with 11. And, they’re really great about throwing out a BlackOps or two a week on top of those. These men know how to get busy! Shame theContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Kapowski at Bayside – 07/01/2021”
