Always a good time at the County! PAX: Bulletin (R), Giselle, Cochran, Fungi, Cold Call, Crock Pot, Catfish, Pew Pew, Wildflower, Meter Maid, Abacus, Scratch n Dent, Jerry McGuire (R), Ladybird (R), Grinder (Q) As part of my disclaimer at the beginning, I should have noted that I stole this entire weinke from a workoutContinueContinue reading “BB 5/14 The LOCO”

It was a great time at the Mutt this past Saturday with 17 PAX in attendance including five 2.0s, four of which were FNGs: Porkchop, Duplo, Cornbread, Zima, Deuce, Windshield, Pepperoni, Soft top, Tureen, Sump Pump, Miyagi, Beast Boy (2.0), Cutlet (2.0, FNG), Car Alarm (2.0, FNG), Spida (2.0, FNG), Air ball (2.0, FNG), GrinderContinueContinue reading “BB – The Hurt at The Mutt 5/11”

Lots of oldies but goodies planned for tomorrow. Be ready to keep moving. SYITG

Have you been out of the gloom for a while? Keep reading. Have you been injured or put on some unwanted weight and you’re apprehensive about jumping back in? Keep reading. Have a 2.0 that’s not the most fit or athletic and you want to get him out to F3 so he gets excited aboutContinueContinue reading “PB- 5/11 The Hurt at the Mutt (New Beginnings)”

After a day of relaxation with the family, it’s time to get back to the grind. Start your day with me and Abacus for a Beast-mode beatdown at North Posh. Everything else you do tomorrow will feel like a breeze after what we’ve got in store. SYITG

Thanks to Backdraft for letting me pick up the Q this past Wednesday at the Mutt. It’s always good to be back home and always a pleasure to lead. Here are the studs that came out to enjoy the morning with me: BUSCHHHHH, Backdraft, Sump Pump, Cowbell, Old Bay, Cornbread, Glen Ross, Tasty Freeze, Snowman,ContinueContinue reading “BB – 4/10 – The Blender at the Mutt”

If you’ve got anything left in the Tank after your 100-1-50-1, then come join me tomorrow morning at the Mutt. Bring your gloves and running shoes and be ready to rock. SYITG

Selfishly, Pleasantville is my favorite AO. And despite all the areas there are to explore there, my favorite spot has always been the path along the pond leading to the amphitheater. From this time of year through the early Fall, there’s just enough light through the second half of the workout to see the waterContinueContinue reading “BB – 4/5 Wisteria @ Pleasantville, On Golden Pond”

Let’s get after it tomorrow. You V. You. If you were at S Posh on Monday, you got a preview. Bring your running shoes and a headlamp may come in handy for parts. SYITG

It was no beach, but it was really an ideal morning for a workout. Clear and crisp with little to no wind. After a little movement, we were warm as could be. Add a great group of HIMs, and it was about as fun a morning as it gets. PAX: Ladybird(R), Abacus, Ashley, sweetTART, Mr.ContinueContinue reading “BB – 4/1 Incubator at the Posh”

Does North have a monopoly on Beast Mode or Run Heavy? I think not. Come to South tomorrow and let’s get after it. It’ll be a cold one, but I promise you’ll be sweating before you know it.

This past Monday, I had the privilege of Qing The Incubator at South Posh. I had lined up a number of Qs at the local AOs back in January when the Double Down Challenge was proposed and this was the final one. Much to my surprise, I was informed the Saturday before that Double DownContinueContinue reading “BB- 3/25 – Return of Double Down/ Embrace your 111”

Tomorrow we celebrate the return of one of our favorite brothers and relish in the importance of how much we need one another to get through all the hurdles of life. You’ll be relying on each other for most of the workout. Bring gloves and be ready for some partner fun.

Always a treat to hang with the County boys. The weather was great this morning (32 and clear) and there were 8 HIMs in attendance: Jerry McGuire (R), Sweater Vest, Scratch-N-Dent, Ashley, Bulletin (R), Abacus, Valdez, Grinder (Q). We started with a Scout Run around the school. Everyone got two turns at being the ScoutContinueContinue reading “BB – 3/12/19 – LOCO at the County”

Grinder and Pew Pew pulled the old switcheroo. Now I’m Qing tomorrow and have no clue what we’ll do. Promise I’ll figure something out so the workout’s not a big pile of poo.

F3 challenges me to step outside my comfort zone and push myself harder than I’d ever do if I was working out alone. It’s a big reason I keep coming back and I’m sure a lot of you would say the same. There are a lot of mornings I start the workout not really wantingContinueContinue reading “BB – 3/4/19 The Silo at North Posh”

When you think of Grinder, you think of running, right? Lots and lots of Beast Mode running…like you check your watch at the end and realize you’ve done three and a half miles, mainly hills, in the past 45 minutes running. Not what you think when you think of Grinder? Best sleep in Monday, then.ContinueContinue reading “PB – 3/4, Grinder at North Posh”

I love the VET. Love the site. Love the PAX. Absolutely love all the jokes and ball-busting.  There’s no other site like it in town. Unfortunately, the distance from southern Indiana causes some issues with getting home and to work on time, so I don’t get out there as much as I’d like. Luckily, IContinueContinue reading “BB – 2/27 The Tank”

I’m pumped for the chance to lead at The Tank tomorrow. I did some recon this weekend and have a plan to keep us moving for the whole 45. SYITG

So I put out a Preblast on Monday, talking tough about how we’d be looking at the pavilion from a distance and carrying a bunch of heavy stuff through the rain. Fast-forward to 5am Wednesday as I am driving from Indiana to the Posh and I realized how foolhardy I had been. It was DUMPINGContinueContinue reading “BB 2/19 Bridge at the Posh, Grinder calls an audible”

It’s been over six months since I’ve Q’d at the Poshlands and I’m excited to get the chance again. I remember there’s a huge covered pavilion there. We’ll be able to see it from a distance as we run and carry coupons through the steady rain and driving winds on Wednesday morning. Can’t wait! RememberContinueContinue reading “PB – Grinder @ The Bridge 2/20”

T-Claps to Wham-O, Blueprint, Plumb Bob, Sherpa, Messy, Pepperoni, Escort, Meter Maid, Fridge, and Tiger. These HIMs ran and crawled through standing water, enduring a cold and constant downpour for forty-five minutes this morning while working their tails off. We started with a quick warm-up, then took a Scout Run with bonus Burpees through theContinueContinue reading “BB 2/12 Rooster at the Mutt”

If 100% chance of rain and heavy winds sounds blissful, then do I have the workout for you! Get out to the Mutt tomorrow and be sure to bring gloves. PS- The portico will not save you.

A thousand thanks to the HIMs at the County for letting me lead last Tuesday and a thousand apologies for the delay in getting this backblast completed. Let’s give these PAX their due: Mama’s Boy, Gilligan, Valdez, Jerry McGuire (R), Viking, Airplane, Bob Ross, Ashley, Bulletin (R), Amelia, Cowboy, Catness, Scratch-N-Dent, Big Bird, Milton, Cochran,ContinueContinue reading “Backblast- 2/5 LOCO at the County”

YHC is pumped for the opportunity to lead at the County tomorrow. We’ll stay moving, so wear your running shoes and bring some gloves. SYITG

Much love to all the PAX that joined me at the Blender on Thursday morning and braved the sub-zero temps. Suprisingly, once we got moving, it wasn’t too bad and we made sure we stayed in motion all 45 minutes. We would likely still be doing BLIMPS if Glen Ross hasn’t let me know thatContinueContinue reading “Backblast 1/30 – Blender at the Mutt – Polar Vortex”

You can ask Nugget, Zima, Snowman, Chiklis, Plumb Bob and Fungi how well I did in the extreme cold at Pleasantville last Friday. It wasn’t pretty. Not in the least. I plan to redeem myself Wednesday at the Mutt where I will embrace the Polar Vortex in all it’s glory. The weinke: Run. Then doContinueContinue reading “Preblast 1/30 Blender at the Mutt – Polar Vortex Edition”

I had no idea what to expect when pulling up to the O on Thursday morning. We’d had non-stop rain all day Wednesday and then temps went well below freezing overnight, so I arrived early to survey the park for ice, knowing I’d have to change up the weinke a bit depending on what weContinueContinue reading “Backblast- 1/24 Temple of Gloom at the – A morning of surprises”

Arms, Legs, Abs, Run. Arms, Legs, Abs, Run. Rinse, Repeat. Rinse, Repeat. SYITG

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I think so. And, I sincerely think both Abacus and Alexa are true HIMs and complete badasses in all things F3, so attempting to imitate them could only lead to good things, right? Well, I can’t say everyone ‘enjoyed’ the workout that I borrowed from them, but theContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Bag of Wrenches at the O, 1/15/19, Grinder Q”
