The new site Q, Old Bay, pulled into the parking lot on Zoo/Tiger time and proceeded to mosey with his Blender flag to plant it beside the Mutt flag.  I said, “you’ve got about 30 seconds to get that in’, to which he replied, ’30 seconds is all I need’.  Queue litany of jokes fromContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – 6/6 The Blender”

If you’ve ever posted with me, then you know when it comes to running, I’m second probably only to BUSCHHHHH. AMRAP sets with coupons? Diablo can catch me on a good day.  Abs?  Well, my close friends call me Mary. So tomorrow at the Blender, we’re going to play to my strengths and get intoContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast – 6/6 The Blender – Grinder Q”

First things first – If you haven’t been out to Norton Commons, you need to come check it out. It’s a great site with a lot of options. Secondly, if you have been out there, but not in a while, you need to come back. Especially if you’ve only been out once, I promise you’veContinueContinue reading “Preblast – 6/1 Norton Commons Black Ops – Zima and Grinder Bring Da Ruckus”

7 PAX took the field today at the Bag of Wrenches – Vincent(R), Cutlass, Old Bay, Wham, Tin Cup, Chicken Fried, Grinder (Q) First off, it was great to meet Chicken Fried and Tin Cup.  TC was returning from a six month hiatus and he did great.  As always, the 2nd F is my favoriteContinueContinue reading “Backblast – 5/29 BoW at the O”

I’m beyond pumped for my VQ at the O tomorrow.  As any good Mutt, I’m going to channel my inner Jake the Diamond Dog and get us on the field for a few innings.  Running, crawling, coupons, and Mary…could you really ask for anything more to shake off that pool/lake haze and get back toContinueContinue reading “Preblast – 5/29 BoW at the O”

6 Pax  – Boozer, Nugget, PK, Gillespie, Swifty, Grinder (Q) First off, much respect to PK and Nugget.  These HIMs have posted 5 days this week, all at different AOs and tomorrow will make their 6th.  They are calling it an ‘F3 Flight’, and I’m sure others will follow suit to achieve the same. NoContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Norton Commons – 5/4/18”

Come out to Norton Commons tomorrow at 5:30 for some fun before hitting the track.  We’ll run, we’ll jump, we’ll crawl, and we’ll find some interesting ways to get up those amphitheater stairs.  I only have two goals for tomorrow morning: Get better while working out with my brothers Come up with a righteous andContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 5/4/18 – Norton Commons Black Ops”

4 PAX in attendance for this morning’s beatdown: Wham-O, Zima, Miyagi, and Grinder (Q).  Upon exiting the car this morning, YHC knew this wouldn’t be an easy one.  I’d grown accustomed to some more moderate temps throughout the week, so the freezing rain, snow, and high winds left a lot to be desired.  Luckily thereContinueContinue reading “Backblast 4/7 – Christmas in April at #theHurt”

Well, we’re a week into April, so in true 2018 fashion we’re expecting snow and high winds for tomorrow’s beatdown.  I don’t want that to deter anyone, so in honor of this wintery weather we’re going to celebrate like it’s Christmas.  If you rise to the challenge and meet me in the Gloom, I promiseContinueContinue reading “PreBlast 4/7 #theHurt – Christmas in April?”

Come join me and Zima as we celebrate the last few days of Spring Break by tearing up the mean streets of Norton Commons.  We’ll mix it up so there’s sure to be something for everyone.  We make no guarantees, but there’s a damn good chance you’ll get better.  SYITG

11 PAX fought the Starfish this morning at the Mutt: Zima, Noxeema Jackson, Fatone, Curly, Tron, Miyagi, Tureen, Zartan, Snowman, Wham-O, Grinder(Q).  After a mosey around the building and some thorough stretching, we grabbed our coupons, split into groups, and went to work on the Starfish.  The four corners each had a different exercise: Merkins,ContinueContinue reading “3/31 Backblast #theHurt”

While most PAX are headed to the beach, I didn’t want the rest of us to feel left out so I’m bringing the beach to the Mutt tomorrow.  Show up at 7:00 for YHC’s version of the Starfish. We’ll have fun and you’ll get better.  What more could you ask for?

Pax (10): Grinder(Q), Airplane, Wham, Noxeema Jackson, Zartan, OJ, Old Bay, Steerage, Glen Ross, Wahoo The 10 HIMs that showed up this morning were all happy to see that YHC had not been detained for his previous day’s follies at NC Elementary.  As we moseyed up to the soccer field to warm up, it becameContinueContinue reading “Backblast (3/16) Norton Commons Black Ops”

I thought before Q-ing out at NC, I should actually check it out in the daytime to get a better feel for distances and options for tomorrow’s beatdown.  As those of you that have been out there know, the Elementary School parking lot and front drive offers a lot of good options for workouts.  So,ContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast (03/16) Norton Commons Black Ops: Back to School?”

We’re going to do what they said can’t be done…. But instead of a load of Coors, we’ll be handling a load of coupons and grinding out the beach bods in preparation for Spring Break 2018. To get us started, bring your running shoes (and maybe a headlamp) for a slowGrinder tour of the grounds.ContinueContinue reading “#SnowGrinder or #SlowGrinder … Snowman and Grinder VQ @Mutt Xtender”
