Tomorrow brings back the third anniversary of Celebration Day. You may be asking yourself – what exactly are we celebrating? And, for those that missed the first two you’ll just have to come out and join me to find out. Bring a friend and come join in the fun tomorrow at Posh. No coupons required.ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Celebration Day @ Posh – 03/15/2021 – Jolly Rancher Q”

Monday is always hard to beat the fart sack. But, when you are done with the workout there’s not a better feeling knowing that you’ve started your week off on the right foot. So next time, don’t let Monday beat you. Get up and get better! At 0530am, time was called. Disclaimers given. Wind wasContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Silo at North Posh – 03/01/2021”

Tomorrow we will keep it simple. But, simple doesn’t mean easy. No coupons needed, but bring your running shoes. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out.

What a glorious morning. After completing another large project at work yesterday I was pumped up this morning. I’ve not been able to post that much over the past three weeks and frankly I have felt that physical and mental fogginess. So, I was glad I intentionally scheduled this Q the day after the projectContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/26/2021”

Pleasantville. Where all things are pleasant. In fact, I’m pretty sure there was zero accumulation of ice and snow at Pleasantville over the past few weeks. The good news is that doesn’t matter with the latest heat wave we’ve experienced this week. That said, there’s no better time than the present to join me atContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Wisteria @ Pleasantville.”

I was pretty pumped up about this Q. I had headlocked a few guys from work and this was the day they HC’d to post, but it was posting at The Mutt. Ugh, okay – fine. I guess I’ll post at The Mutt. Instead of just posting, I decided to try and pick up theContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Rooster @ The Mutt – 02/23/2021”

Looking forward to making it inside of the Watterson Expressway tomorrow for another Q at The Mutt. I wish I could say it was because Digiorno’s recruiting efforts, but in reality I’ve got a couple of co-worker FNGs that I’m expecting to post. And, F-Stop was nice enough to let me steal his Q soContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Rooster @ The Mutt”

A little tardy, but who really counts Sunday? So I’m close enough. I was excited about leading at The Ruiner again, which was my second Q at The O. As noted in my pre-blast, my first one was the day after the Taste of the Tough last fall. And man, that was a bad idea…becauseContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Ruiner at The O – 01/30/2021”

Tomorrow is the 30th day of January 2021. Crazy to believe – time flies. This will represent just my second Q at The O. The first one came the day after the Taste of the Tough back last year. Boy, was that a bad idea. Come join me tomorrow at The O. We will runContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Ruiner at The O – Jolly Rancher Q – 01/30/2021”

I wish Jeffersontown was closer. I love the vibe and feel of working out at The Vets. Something about the monument and the way it perfectly fits our COP and COT. The flags flying overhead with the reminders on the park benches with words that honor our service men and women. Words like: honor, courage,ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Tank at The Vets – 01/27/2021”

Tomorrow is Wednesday. The middle of the week. A time where we all evaluate our to-do lists and ponder the things that we should have done on Monday and Tuesday. But alas, there are still Thursday and Friday ahead…plenty of time. So, on Wednesday, perhaps we should just sit back with the cruise control on,ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Tank @ Vets – 01/27/2021”

A couple of months ago, Kilo and I happened to post at The Mutt on the same day because we both had headlocked an FNG. We joked after that it was meant to be a surprise audit of The Mutt and their operations. For those that know the PAX of The Mutt, I’m sure youContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Extender at The Mutt – 01/21/2021”

The definition of “mutt” per dictionary.com. You can’t make this stuff up. ’nuff said? Sadly, this is actually going to my first solo Q at The Mutt. Way back in March 2019 I led a co-Q with Zima, which was epic and well before the concept of Co-Q Mash-Up Week. This time, it’s just 100%ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Extender at The Mutt!”

I was exactly sure what was going to happen with the weather this morning. I was pleasantly surprised on what I saw when I woke up, which was low 30s with wet ground, but no snow or ice. It was great to see. At 0530am [yes, Pelican – 0530am on Tuesday!] I called time andContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Loco at The County – 01/19/2021”

As I told the PAX this morning at The Abyss…those looking on the outside in to F3 and what we do may think we are a little crazy. You know, who voluntarily decides to wake up early and go try to workout outdoors in the winter on an ice rink? Because that’s somewhat what itContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Loco at The County”

What a great day. We made great time on the pre-ruck with 10 PAX joining in on the extra credit. A few went a little longer than the normal 3.0 mile lap, but that was good enough for me so I could get things set-up a bit. Time was called at 0700am and disclaimers wereContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Nest @ The County – 01/16/2021”

Looking forward to capping off the week tomorrow at The Nest. To help save you some time, I pulled up the weather forecast and thought I’d share it with you in advance: So, don’t let the #fakenews fool you. Lace up your shoes, put your big boy pants on just like you did this morningContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Nest @ The County”

A little delinquent here – apologies, PAX. The good news is that the Abyss was the place to be on Monday with a record 19 PAX and the most PAX at a WO in F3Louisville on that day, which was another record. The HIM of The Abyss are truly leading in the front. And ifContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Motivator @ The Abyss – 01/11/2021”

I started drafting this as I was sitting in the waiting area to give blood as part of #freedtobleed. Watching all these HIMs step in to fill a need that exists is inspiring. It was also great 2nd F even if only for a little while. Hoping that Qing the day after blood donation isn’tContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – Motivator at The Abyss – 01/11/2021”

As noted in my pre-blast, I was excited to jump at the opportunity to lead a shiny, brand new WO at an existing AO. It’s been fun to see what moving The Station to The Boondocks has done to the Bootleggers at The Boondocks. They’ve captured the Ghost Flag, they’ve stole about 5 or 6ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Moonshiner @ Boondocks – 01/07/2021”

I finally found one benefit about being 1st F Q – you get first dibs on picking up the inaugural Qs at new WOs! Sadly, that may be the only benefit…Nino lied to me. Let’s be honest with each other for a second; being first is awesome. We’re all competitive people deep down and weContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The INAUGURAL Moonshiner @ The Boondocks”

Tomorrow’s weather looks great. It’s almost Christmas. And Jolly’s got the Q. These are three great reasons to post tomorrow at Posh with me. No coupons needed. Bring some gloves for ground work. SYITG – Jolly Rancher out!

I’m on record saying this, but I’ll say it again – The Nest is my favorite workout of the week. It’s a time for a little extra credit, a little longer of a workout, full of 2.0s, and normally lots of banter, mumblechatter and shenanigans. Today would be no different. PAX: DeVitoGiseleBulletin (R)Asian Zing (R)NoContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Nest @ The County – 12/19/2020”

Thriving or surviving – what a better way to sum up 2020.  If given the choice, I don’t think there’s any question which option every PAX would choose.  This past year has challenged each of us physically, mentally and spiritually.  We’ve had to be agile, be flexible and  be leaders in different ways than weContinueContinue reading “IRON HORSE CHALLENGE 2021 – F3 LOUISVILLE”

Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow is my favorite day of the week. Come on out and celebrate with me. Bring a coupon and a sad clown. SYITG! Jolly Rancher out!

Do you have a sweet tooth? If so, you should come on out to The County and join SweeTART and Jolly Rancher for our Co-Q Mashup. These two brands have spawned into all sorts of different varieties. The weinke does the same. Bring a coupon! SYITG – SweeTART and Jolly Rancher out!

Qing a rainy workout presents it’s challenges. You never know how many will show up and don’t really know how wet those that show up really want to get. The benefit of The Abyss is there really is very little cover. So, the men that showed up today knew they’d be getting wet. Disclaimers providedContinueContinue reading “Backblast – 11/30/2020 – The Motivator at The Abyss”

Tomorrow’s weather looks stupendous. And there’s nothing more I’d rather be doing than getting up early and joining the men of The Abyss on such a glorious day. I’d recommend a hat to keep the sunlight out of your eyes. Perhaps some sunscreen for those with sensitive skin. You may even want to bring aContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Motivator @ The Abyss – 11/30/2020”

Pleasantville is probably my favorite place to post. It has a little bit of everything you could want – and then some. I just wish it was a little closer to home! But, when Holy Roller was in need of a Q the day after Thanksgiving, I knew it would be a great excuse toContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 11/27/2020”

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. So much food – and it’s one of the only times where the food can actually touch when it is on my plate. Given it was Thanksgiving, I decided to give the PAX a little buffet to get them going. PAX: DauberBulletin (R)Holy Roller (R)Captain CrunchberryUber (FNG)SpreeFockerColonel KlinkBigContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Jolly’s Thanksgiving Day Buffet @ The Boondocks – 11/26/2020”
