Tomorrow marks the beginning of the second half of the year. If you didn’t accomplish what you had in store for the first half of the year, then consider tomorrow your new start. Looks like it will be a cool and balmy 70 degrees or so – which also mirrors the chance of rain. WhoContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Kapowski at Bayside – 07/01/2021”

Not going to say it was easy getting up this morning, but I definitely needed it this morning. So, it was good that I picked up the Q yesterday to force myself out of bed. PAX: Air Raid (R)AbacusUncle Sam (R)Kitty LitterFlip FlopJolly Rancher (Q) Disclaimers were provided just as Flip Flop was exiting hisContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Motivator at The Abyss – 06/28/2021”

I needed a reason and accountability to make sure I posted tomorrow. So, when Flip Flop threw out an open Q was available at The Abyss, I jumped on it. Nothing fancy for tomorrow in store. Just work. Bring a coupon and a friend to the AO with the best sunrise in town. SYITG! JollyContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Motivator at The Abyss!”

Great day for a workout where things all started for F3 Louisville. Enjoyed the good mumblechatter with Stick Up and Harry Caray in the extra credit ruck, too. Time was called and disclaimers provided. It was great to see YNot back out for a second helping of fun after posting for the first time onContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Ruiner @ The O – 06/12/2021”

I don’t make it out to The O very often, but it’s no surprise that the first shovel flag of F3 Louisville was planted at Seneca Park. That place is awesome and it is HOPPING every single morning I’m there. So, I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to take in all of theContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Ruiner at The O – 06/12/2021”

About 3-months ago, I was randomly staring at the original County AO flag and I realized it was planted on June 8, 2018. So, inevitably a celebration was in order for June 8, 2021. And, when I looked at the calendar that far out, naturally it was still open so I scooped it up fromContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – County’s 3-Year Anniversary Party – Jolly Rancher Q – 06/08/2021”

A long time ago in a galaxy far away… …from the O, which was the birthplace of F3 Louisville, a few PAX decided to lead a starfish effort off of Poshlands to plant a new shovel flag in Oldham County. After a few BlackOps at Crestwood Elementary, things moved a little back towards Jefferson CountyContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – The County Turns 3! – Jolly Rancher Q at The Loco – 06/08/2021”

Uncle Sam reached out and asked if I’d be interested in leading at The Abyss. Since they’re now back to 0530am start times, it was an easy answer to his question. There’s not many AOs that are as unique as The Abyss with the pond and the fog that emerges at this time of theContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Gladiator @ The Abyss – 06/04/2021”

Old Glory flying at half staff in honor of those men and women who died defending the freedoms we enjoy today. Another great day for F3 Louisville where a BlackOps Murph opportunity at The County was thrown out there and 16 brave PAX showed up to tackle the challenge along with me. This year wasContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Memorial Day Murph at The County – 05/31/2021”

Whitney was on the DL and didn’t have a Q yet and nobody else jumped on it which means I scooped it up. Asian Zing would be the lone soldier to post with me, which was perfectly fine with me. Time was called and we mosey’d over half way around the circle and stopped forContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 05/28/2021”

The Abyss is back to normal operating hours starting at 0530am. That said, nobody has any more excuses that they need more sleep to not show up for the HIM that call the darkest AO in F3 Louisville their home. Weather forecast implies it’ll finally be dry again, too. So, come join me at TheContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Gladiator @ The Abyss – 06/04/2021”

No secrets here. Just do it. Weight vest or ruck is optional. Can break up the exercises or do them all straight through. Given that we are doing pull ups, we will meet at the playground behind the school. Start time will be holiday hours – so start time at 0700. Plenty of time toContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Murph BlackOps at The County – 🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸 – 05/31/2021”

Nobody jumped on the open Q, which means you HIM are stuck with YHC. We will be moving around a bit – exploring some of my favorite spots at Pleasantville. No coupons required. Umbrellas optional. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

Saturday workouts are still my favorite. Perhaps it’s the 60-minutes of suck. Or, perhaps it is because everyone is that much more awake so the mumblechatter is that much more lively. Or, is it the 2.0s that typically make their way with their dads out to The Nest? Maybe it’s a little of each ofContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Nest at The County – 05/22/2021”

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – but, the Nest at The County is special. Don’t know why yet? Then come on out tomorrow and find out for yourself. BRING YOUR RUCK. If you have extras, bring them, too, for others that may not have one, please. We’ll stay on campus soContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Nest at The County – 05/22/2021”

As noted in my pre-blast, there’s something calming about posting at the Vets. Perhaps it’s the gentle soothing noise of Meatball’s cadence of passing gas. Or, perhaps it’s Violet’s authoritarian voice which calms all fears. Or, maybe it’s Worm’s constant bickering and moaning about actually doing a work out. Either way, it’s always a goodContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Chopper at Vets – 05/21/2021”

A little delayed on the back blast…maybe writing back blasts are kind of like wedding gifts. You have a full year after the wedding to deliver the gift. Let’s go with that. That makes me feel a little better about my tardiness.

Time for my monthly therapy appointment. You need one, too? Join me at Vets on Friday for the best mumblechatter that F3 Louisville has to offer. Being a coupon and a friend and come enjoy the comfy couch with me. Jolly Rancher out!

Picked up this Q a long time ago when Captain Crunchberry was filling up the calendar before he passed the torch off to Honey Do for new Site Q duties. Glad he reached out to remind me that I had it because I would have floundered around and not realized it otherwise. So, come onContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Moonshiner @ Boondocks – 05/13/2021”

Nuff said. Dutch Boy is the Nantan of F3 MeCa – come and help show him how we roll at F3 Louisville.

Focker was in need of a Q for the LaGrange BlackOps and I took the plunge. Having visited what is also known as The Patriot site a few times, it was only a matter of time before I picked up a Q. And, today felt like a good day to do it. Plus, it’s MondayContinueContinue reading “Backblast – LaGrange BlackOps – 04/26/2021”

Delayed back blast. I picked this Q up a little late and needless to say I’m even later on my back blast. Apologies, PAX!

Tomorrow will be the first Q for me in the heart of Oldham County at the newest regular BlackOps in LaGrange. Come on out and support the growth of F3Louisville! No coupons needed. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a gorgeous day for F3 Louisville’s 2021 Spring Convergence. As Kilo noted in his message yesterday, this is also a Convergence where we’re celebrating the 4th anniversary of the first shovel flag being planted in Louisville. Slack now has over 803 PAX – and of that 610 distinct PAXContinueContinue reading “F3LOUISVILLE 2021 SPRING CONVERGENCE – 04/24/2021 at The Garden!”

Looking forward to tomorrow. Work has kept me out of the gloom except on Monday, which was led by Pelican at the BlackOps in LaGrange. So, one (not me, but I’m sure Jewel or Dauber would say this – maybe even Squid) could argue I haven’t worked out at all this week. We will beContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly’s Back At The Nest – 04/10/2021”

Whitney put a plea out there for an audible on his Q and I waited for a little bit, but to make sure Whitney didn’t start to sweat I went ahead and picked it up. After all, Pleasantville is like my second home.

OMAHA! OMAHA! Whitney needed to call an audible for his scheduled Q in the morning. I gave the PAX a full hour to pick it up and there was zero activity, which means you get stuck with me. No coupons required. Let’s get busy! SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

I hate running. I’m not really any good at it because it takes a lot of effort to move this much weight and that makes me slow. But, that’s also why I love Qing workouts with lots of running. Because, like I said, I hate running but also acknowledge it as a weakness that I’mContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Max at Bayside – 03/16/2021”

Finally! I’m making it out to Bayside for Iron Horse Challenge and I was lucky to pick up a coveted Q for the visit, too. If you find yourself needing to check this one off the list, too, then I encourage you to come on out and join me because this site is awesome. It’sContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Max @ Bayside – 03/16/2021”

This year marks the 3rd Anniversary of Celebration Day. The first Celebration Day was at Vets in 2019 and then The County in 2020. If that wasn’t bad enough, it happened to fall the day after we sprung forward and changed the clocks an hour ahead – thus, losing an hour of sleep on Sunday.ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – CELEBRATION DAY @ Posh – 03/15/2021”
