I love making my way down I-265 southbound to visit the PAX at Vets. PK, the Tank Site Q, was instrumental in head locking me out of the fart sack some time ago – and I haven’t looked back yet.  The Vets AO and PAX definitely have something special.  Not sure what it is, butContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Tank @ Vets – 01/08/2020”

That’s right boys.  Jolly’s coming to Vets to start the transition process of taking the AO of the Year back to the County for 2019 where it rightfully belongs. Don’t like the smell of that?  Then come stop me in the gloom in the morning at 0530. Bring gloves for ground work.  And bring aContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : Jolly Takes Over 2018 AO of the Year [Vets] : The Tank : 01/08/2020”

I’ve only posted a few times at North Posh and this was my first Q there. For those that post with me, you know I’m not one for running – but, if I don’t keep trying then I won’t get any better at running. So, why not? It is amazing though how many hills thereContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Silo @ North Posh – 12/30”

Tomorrow is one day closer to 2020. Tomorrow is also another day that you have the option to wake up and get better. Others can’t even if they wanted to. Tomorrow you have the opportunity to be pushed by your peers to achieve something you didn’t think you could overcome. Others don’t have this supportContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : Jolly Rancher @ the Silo at North Posh – 12/30/2019”

The Loco opened up and needed a Q. Crock Pot put out an ask and I let is sit for a good minute or two before jumping on it and scooped it up. Couldn’t leave it alone for that long. PAX: Uncle Sam Asian Zhing Kimble Crock Pot Brown Water Holy Roller Wildflower Kilo FergieContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Jolly Holly Christmas Eve @ the Loco – 12/24/2019”

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. So, we will work hard together to earn the feasts we are certain to devour in the coming days. My back is giving me some fits so you can plan on moderate running – and like all other Jolly Qs: zero burpees! Come and get some! Bring some gloves for someContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : Holly Jolly Christmas Eve @ the Loco – 12/24/2019”

Put out a plea on Slack to accomplish the Zero Dark Thirty ruck before The Nest.  Had to do some recruiting, but secured the required numbers and it was set. PAX:  Gilligan, Captain Crunchberry, Alexa, Valdez, Crockpot, Jolly Rancher (Q) We did the normal Pewee Valley loop with a modification to head down Rest CottageContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Zero Dark Thirty Ruck – 11/09/2019”

Tomorrow is Veteran’s Day. Tomorrow we will work hard. Tomorrow we will pick each other up. Tomorrow we will get better together. Tomorrow we will conquer the morning as a team. Tomorrow you are welcome to be a part of history: my VQ at Posh. Tomorrow Veterans that post get a free coupon. Bring gloves!ContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast – Vets Day with Jolly at Incubator @ Posh – 11/11”

Vets truly is a great AO.  School makes it challenging for me to get out there as frequently as I’d like – so it’s always a treat when I can squeeze it into the morning.  And, for it to be Ghost Q week was something special.  I rolled into the parking lot of Jeffersonian to dropContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Tank @ Vets – 10/23/2019 – Jolly Ghost!”

Delayed back blast…sorry, PAX. I signed up to Q at Pleasantville on 10/11 because this date is pretty special to me.  It really didn’t dawn on me though that it was the morning before the GORUCK Tough event – which was bad ass, by the way.  It didn’t matter – I *HAD* to Q onContinueContinue reading “Back Blast : Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 10/11/2019 – #SuperSamuelBirthdayQ”

A workout at the firehouse should include fire, right? Well, I can’t guarantee you flames (dumb burn ban), but I can guarantee you will be warm and toasty after the workout. Bring your gloves as you can expect some coupon work. S’mores are optional. SYITG – Jolly Rancher!

For those that monitor the calendar, you may have seen that tomorrow’s workout at Pleasantville is labeled as Super Samuel’s birthday. This will be the second birthday we will celebrate after he passed away. Nuff said. Come get busy with me in the morning. For those doing the Tough in the evening with me, don’tContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 10/11/2019”

Loving the starfish efforts. Hopefully it sticks. Got there around 5:15am to finish scouting the location for the ensuing beat down and plant the flag so the PAX could find me. Rusty, who posted with us down range from Chicago, asked for a picture. A great way to remember his visit to Louisville, which seemsContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – BlackOps – English Manor – 09/05/2019”

The fart sack has been strong to quite strong this week and so far is 2 for 3 on keeping me from posting.  Tomorrow, it won’t win because I have the Q in the continued starfish efforts at The County.  Don’t be like Jolly Rancher – don’t let the fart sack win on Thursday. Tomorrow AirplaneContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : BlackOps – #theCounty @EnglishManor”

When Meter Maid asked for some help to pick up his Q as he recovers from a re-injury of his calf muscle from the August ruck event, I scooped it up in a hurry. I’ve found that I always push myself harder when I Q – you can call it Q juice or call itContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – #theAgony @ #theCounty : 08/29/2019”

Come have some fun with me at The County on Thursday, August 29.  The name of the game will focus on partner workouts to push each other.  So while this is a you vs. you, it will also be a mental challenge as your partner pushes you [e.g., screams at you] to find the endContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : #theAgony @ theCounty – 08/29/2019”

A year ago, I decided “what the hell” and posted for my first workout with F3. It goes without saying that things are a lot different this year. And this workout was a hard one because I wanted to push myself to remind me how far I – and we – have come together. PAX:ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Nest @ The County – 08/03”

A year ago today I finally broke down to head locks put on me by several PAX led by PK and posted for the first time. My first post was Q’d by Fergie and I remember barely being able to mosey across the parking lot. During the thang, about the only thang I did wasContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Jolly’s Postaversary : The Nest @ The County – August 3.”

Friday morning I had the pleasure of Qing for my birthday Q. As announced in the pre-blast, it was leg day. We all assembled at the flags and on the way Airplane snuck up behind in his truck still advising me that he had to go find a restroom. No worries, I told him -ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – LEG DAY! – July 26”

I hope you don’t need this, but here are the top ten reasons you should post at Pleasantville tomorrow: #10 – Grinder is giving out coupons for free wiches! No, not really – but I got your attention! #9 – Why work so hard all week to slack off on Friday and not post? LastContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – July 26”

I love going to the lake on holiday weekends. But, that means I can’t make my normal post at The Nest on Saturday.  Come to find out, there’s several PAX that have places at Nolin Lake who also crave the feeling of sweating out the vices of what lake life brings you.  So, I calledContinueContinue reading “Back Blast : BlackOps at Nolin Lake : 07/06/2019”

For those that haven’t had the chance to make it to an F3 Dads workout, you’re missing out.  Not only do you get to enjoy the fellowship with your fellow PAX in a much more jovial environment [instead of beat down mode], but you also get to witness something special with all of the 2.0s thatContinueContinue reading “Back Blast F3 Dads : County : 07/03/2019”

Before you call it a night and start enjoying the day off to celebrate this great nation, come on out to the County as we keep the F3 Dads movement going. The bourbon will still be there when you get home. So come and earn it with Jolly Rancher and my 2.0s – Pixie StickContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast : F3 Dads at the County : July 3 at 7pm”

Strolled into the lot with a few of the PAX already gathered – and it was good to see the numbers continue to grow as we approached 5:30am. Weather: Near perfect – humid, but no rain and that’s all you can ask for. PAX: Pelican Kimble Alexa Wildflower Valdez Airplane Viking Pew Pew Backflop BigContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Agony @ The County – 06/20/2019”

Tomorrow morning looks like some chances of rain – but that never stopped you before so I hope you won’t use it as an excuse to not join me at The County for some Agony. We will be doing some coupon work so bring gloves and a can-do attitude. We will also be doing someContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Agony @ The County with Jolly Rancher”

I’ve been on the physical unable to perform [PUP] list for nearly a few weeks due to a lower back sprain.  I was hesitant about posting today because I didn’t want to regress, but I’m thankful I had the Q to force me to give it a shot to see how it has recovered so IContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Jolly Filled Wisteria – 05/31/2019”
