Great group this morning! I always draw energy off the group and this morning was no exception! As I mentioned in my pre-blast, we did some running and we did warm up. So much so, that I had to take my top layer off. I have been accused by a certain Pax member that likesContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Rooster – I Hate(Love) Burpees!”

The temperature is looking good for my first Q of 2019! We will be running a little and I believe its time to re-introduce the Ring of Fire! What is the Ring of Fire you may be wondering??? You’ll just have to come and find out. We will have fun and I promise you willContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Rooster – Backdraft Q”

When Gepetto asked someone to Q on Saturday I have to admit I wasn’t the first one to step forward but I knew he needed some help so I thought what the hell, I’ll do it. I like the extra 15 minutes on Saturday because that last 15 minutes can be really tough. I followContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Mutt – 12/8/18 – Embrace the Suck!”

Tomorrow will be my last post as a 45 year old! One of the many things I have learned over the years is to just say what I mean. So I am not going to sugar coat it, tomorrow morning is probably going to suck! But don’t let that discourage you from posting! Join meContinueContinue reading “Preblast – The Mutt – 12-08-18 – Backdraft on the Q”

If you’ve been missing that little bit of something to start your week off right I’ve got just the thing for you! Come join me tomorrow morning at The O and I will help kick start your week. We will visit Cogan’s corner/court for sure and play some BlackJack. I’ve got some other dumb stuffContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Blackops @ The O – 11/05/18”

First off, sorry for getting this out two days late. Secondly, I guess there was slight confusion in my pre-blast. It seems “a small amount” of running was interpreted as NO running, or 0 running, or Backdraft hates running, or… well you get my drift. For any of the 28 who attended and thought weContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Rooster @ Le Mutt – 10/30/18 – “Small Amount of Running””

Come out to The Mutt tomorrow and have some fun with coupons and other dumb things. There will be a small amount of running and a whole lot of couponing. Bring some gloves and your 5:30 am smile. SYITG!

When Geppetto announced that he needed a Q for The Hurt on Saturday I thought it would be a perfect time to bring out the ol’ Harry and Lloyd routine. I was going to Camp Piomingo with my son’s class for three days, so coming up with a full Q would have been tough. WhenContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Hurt @ Le Mutt 10/20/18 – The Harry and Lloyd Show”

As we approach the 17th anniversary of 9/11, the four Q’s at each AO have put our heads together to come up with an F3 style salute to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice that morning. Here’s what was lost that day: 412 total emergency responders of which 343 were firefighters; 2966 totalContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Mutt – 09/11/18 – 17th Anniversary of 9/11”

Apparently, Kilo and his crew of merry men from The Vet had designs on stealing the Ghost Flag from its rightful owners at The Mutt. Unfortunately, the flag had been absconded with the day before and was residing at The O. As we later came to learn, Kilo’s crew had 2 fart sack’s so theContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Extender – 09/06/18 – Where’s the Ghost Flag?”

It looks like from the calendar that there are a couple VQ’s tomorrow morning which is great! But if it’s an old fashioned beat down you crave, come on out to the Mutt. I can guarantee some coupon work and that you will get better. If that sounds like something you might be into, getContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Extender – 09/06/2018”

No matter how many times I Q a workout I always have trouble sleeping the night before. Call it nerves, call it “Q Juice”, or call it my fear of almost killing Ming and maiming one other FNG last time out. It didn’t help that Airplane had asked me to Q at The County andContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – #TheAgony – 08-30-18 – Q Juice Insomnia!”

Looking forward to my return to The County tomorrow morning. I can promise there will be no Board of Pain this time. However, I do love coupons and I like to run too! So bring your gloves and a headlamp if you have it. SYITG!

Sorry, I forgot to post our BO from Friday. Gepetto reminded me of this because we want all of our F3 credit so we can cash our points in at the end of the year for cool prizes and stuff. During this workout I didn’t send anyone to the hospital but I did almost manageContinueContinue reading “Backblast 08/13 – St. Matthews Fire BO”

Well, my Q this morning reminded me of the scene out of Seinfeld where George’s dad accidentally poisons his men when he was a cook in the Army and they are all throwing up to the theme music from Platoon, but I digress.  I am always a little worried that my Q’s might be viewedContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – #TempleofGloom – Sick Bay”

Guess who’s back for a little Qing fun at the O tomorrow? You guessed correct, it’s your ol’ pal Backdraft, revisiting the AO that started it all for me! Its been a while since I have posted at the O, so I think I might reacquaint myself and the PAX with some tennis court work,ContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast – #TempleofGloom- 08-09-18 – I am back!”

So I must admit, walking out of Molly Malone’s after the Ruck party last night and hearing a snicker here, a laugh over there, and endless “Are you really Qing tomorrow” questions, I was more than a little concerned. My hips and calves were aching and my shoulders & chest hurt so much that itContinueContinue reading “Back blast – The Mutt – 06-23-18 – Aiken Legs”

When I originally signed up to Q tomorrow morning I had no idea I would be doing the Capture the Flag Ruck the night before! After Gepetto pointed this out to me the other day all I could think was “You’re so f%&$ing stupid!” None to worry gentlemen, I will be ready to roll inContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast – The Mutt – 06-23-18 – I AM SO STUPID!”

After Q’ing in Lexington on Saturday with Gepetto, I felt like I had a pretty good game plan for The Rooster on Tuesday morning. I went to bed about 11 pm and thought to myself, Ok, six good hours of sleep and I’ll be ready to go! Well, not exactly, 3:26 am my eyes popContinueContinue reading “05/29/18 – Back Blast – The Mutt – Ring of Fire – Part Deux”

We had such a great time playing in the Ring of Fire in LEXvegas this past weekend that I thought maybe we would give it a shot at Le Mutt. Join your ol’ buddy Backdraft for a little running, a lot of coupon work, and we can watch Alberto blow in together. However, don’t countContinueContinue reading “05/29/18 – Pre Blast – The Mutt”

As I was thinking about what I was going to do for my Q I came up with what I thought was a pretty good workout. Then on Tuesday PK channeled his inner Backdraft and did the exact workout I had planned, literally down to the partner pull ups at the end. Nice work PK,ContinueContinue reading “Snake Hill, O’Boy Yo!”

As I sit here contemplating my sanity for even considering working out in negative degree wind chills and 0 degree temps consider this for a moment: You’ll burn more calories – As the body works harder to regulate its core temperature among the elements, you’ll burn a few more calories during your wintry workout. You’ll strengthenContinueContinue reading “01-17-18 – Preblast for the #frozenblender”

15 Pax posted at Le Mutt this morning for a cold weather beat down. Due to the cool temperatures we had to heat things up quickly. Started with a short mosey and circle up. Warmed up with 15 count hammy stretches, 15 count downward dog stretches, 15 count grass grabbers, 15 count Abe Bagodas, 15ContinueContinue reading “Backblast – 12/7/17 – Tour Le Mutt – #crushedcoupons #nomatchforF3pax”

Bring your mittens and hot cocoa to The Mutt tomorrow morning its going to be a cold one! Backdraft has just the thing to warm the PAX up quickly. Gloves and running shoes are optional but I’ll be wearing mine fo sho! #SYITG
