Super glad I ran in to Pew Pew on the morning walk Monday…otherwise, I would have completely not known I had the Q tomorrow. Lucky for me, ever since I did those IPC workouts, I’ve been itching to try something new… or recycle a new exercise. So come out to The Posh tomorrow. We mightContinueContinue reading “The Bridge w/ Jewel 9.30.20”

Man, the boys came out on Saturday. 28 Bobs strong. What an awesome morning, albeit, a little chilly. The mumblechatter was strong at the start as the PAX waited for0700. I told myself I wanted to bring the heat for this workout… a little Garden flare if you will. Then this happened… Worm: “Is thisContinueContinue reading “Backblast 9.19.20 – The Nest @ The County w/ Jewel”

Man, time flies. My first post at The County was my 3rd post ever, just over a year ago on 9.2.19. Didn’t know a soul, and they didn’t know me. It didn’t matter, they were incredibly welcoming, even Dauber. Especially Pelican and Big Bird. That’s why The County has been my unofficial 2nd home (asContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 9.19.20- The Nest @ The County”

I LOVE Q’ing on a Saturday. You get to fit so much more work in the the weinke… now, it was Friday, I was on the golf course with Uncle Rico, Cropduster, and Natty Lite – a fantastic group to play bad golf with. So I bounced some ideas off of them… all of themContinueContinue reading “BB- 9.4.20 – The Ruiner”

We gonna have a Garden Party at The O. The OG. Gloves. Coupons. Running shoes. 60 minutes to earn your Derby beverages. SYITG

Temp- mid 60slowish humidityI pulled in the lot about 5:15ish… already a couple cars parked. I made a lap around the school to set up the Thang… more on that later. Once I got back to the lower lot, there were already more than 15 HIM ready to kick off the Baptizer’s first WO. LookingContinueContinue reading “BB – 8.21.2020 Inaugural Baptizer at The Garden w/ Jewel”

Tomorrow will be one year, and one day from my first post with F3 Louisville. What an awesome year it’s been. A crazy year for sure… Rona and protests and all. Thankfully, we are blessed beyond measure to get up early, and get our minds and bodies right in the Gloom. Tomorrow, we will celebrateContinueContinue reading “8.21.20 – Pre-Blast — The 1st ever The BAPTIZER @ The Garden w/ Jewel”

When Russdiculous (still the greatest basketball player to wear the #2 in NCAA history) asked me to Q, I couldn’t wait. First time Q’ing at the O. I wanted to keep us moving and make it hard (bc that’s what us Garden PAX are used to), and because I just got back from vacation andContinueContinue reading “Bag of Wrenches – 8.4.20 w/ Jewel”

I’m bringing a taste of the hardest working AO in the region to the O. There may not be hills like The Garden has, but we will make due without them. Bring a coupon, gloves, and get ready to WORK. SYITG – Jewel

YHC went out on a limb and asked to change the start time for a Friday (no work for most) Black Ops. I was rewarded with 6 other dedicated HIM who would join me for what might be known as an incredibly stupid workout. Disclaimer- NOT a Professional COP- the usual suspects, SSH, Copperhead Squats,ContinueContinue reading “7.3.20 BB- BO at The Garden”

Went to bed not looking forward to what the old weather app was telling me would be a very wet post. Pleasantly surprised when I walked out to find minimal rain…now, hopefully the forecast didn’t scare off the PAX. It turns out that I would be the last to pull in the parking lot atContinueContinue reading “6.29.20 BB North Posh”

Things needed for 0530 start You A friend Coupon Running shoes Desire to get better. SYITG- Jewel

Not sure if I am the only one, but I always feel a sense of pride when someone reaches out directly to ask me to Q at a different AO. It is always an honor to lead the PAX of F3 Louisville, but when you’re asked to travel outside your norm to Q, to meContinueContinue reading “6.24.20 BB- The Escalator at the Abyss”

I posted at The Abyss for the 1st time last week… what a place. Looks like we are going to have a great morning weather wise, which means the sunrise over the lake will be unmatched by any other AO in F3Louisville. So come out and see what all the hype is about. Bring aContinueContinue reading “6.24.20 Pre-Blast @ The Abyss w/ Jewel”

BEWARE ALL WHO ENTER THE FOG…or something like that. There aren’t many better places to start a Saturday off than The Parklands. It provides for some incredible scenery…and a nice sunrise. The weather was perfect.

PAY HEED ALL WHO ENTER, BEWARE OF THE FOG!!! When Mr. Kotter made a plea to the PAX at the Incubator Monday for someone to pick up the Q at the Fog this weekend, I couldn’t not hook the man up! He’s like, the realest, nicest guy out there… so, you’re stuck with me. Also,ContinueContinue reading “6.13.2020 @ The FOG”

I always really enjoy hitting up new AO’s…it’s so easy to stick with what’s close and easy, but I always seem to enjoy when I post new places. When Worm asked me to Q the first Vets relaunch, I knew I couldn’t pass it up, and that I’d need to bring the suck. PAX- 8ContinueContinue reading “BB- Big Mo @ Vets”

Not much has changed since the last pre-blast I’ve written… We don’t get up for easy. The gloom belongs to us. If you post in the morning at Vets (or anywhere) you will get better. You will sweat a lot and maybe cuss me by the time 0615 rolls around. See? Not much has changed.ContinueContinue reading “BIG MO- Vets 6.1.20”

Welp, I did it… I finally fart sacked a Q on F3’s birthday no less. I was so excited, and then I totally screwed it up. I owe all the HIM that woke up that morning an apology. So, when Russdiculous (my all-time favorite F3 name) asked me to cover Friday morning, I jumped atContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – 4.24.20 – The Mist w/ Jewel”

On the 14th, Handbook asked for people to step up to Q. I told him to sign me up for whatever was needed. He gave me 4.22. Then told me that was F3’s birthday, and asked if we should celebrate with Kraken burpees (he may or may not be a glutton for punishment). Can’t letContinueContinue reading “4.22 – Birthday Pre- Blast”

Let me say this, I miss the Gloom. I miss getting out there running around the County, the Posh, and especially those damn hills at the Garden. I miss pushing myself to catch up with whoever is in front of me, which is usually most of the people posting on any given morning. But, theContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 4.13 – The Mist”

I hope you have all had a wonderful, healthy and safe Easter Sunday with your family. I pray that each of you and yours stay healthy, both mentally and physically during this unprecedented time in our world’s history. To help with the physical health, we are going to wake up early, and get after it,ContinueContinue reading “4.13 Mist WO w/ Jewel”

The weather is perfect to get out in your driveway and creep your neighbors out. We are going to have a little fun with iPads, computers, and wait for it… COUPONS!!! We might do a little Tabata too. We will get better. We will work hard. Bring a weight. Bring a friend. Bring your workContinueContinue reading “The Mist 3.27.20 w/ Jewel”

The morning started off with a slight technical difficulty caused by yours truly… I had set up my own Zoom meeting, and made things more complicated for my fellow PAX, and for that, I apologize. Harbaugh and Handbook were on time, and ready. The rest of the PAX trickled in as they navigated the inviteContinueContinue reading “BB – The Zoom 3.25.20 w/ Jewel”

What a time to be alive. There’s certainly a lot that has changed in the last few weeks. There are multiple new AO’s to choose from, due to some incredible hard work and determination by talented and dedicated PAX. There’s also a new AO that was born out of caution and necessity. I for one,ContinueContinue reading “The Mist – VAO w/ Jewel 3.25.20”

It had been a while since I made it to the Posh, since my last Q at the Fog. I knew I wanted to come up with something different. When the news of our fellow HIM Rocky came out, and there was a push to spend the week supporting him, I knew I wanted toContinueContinue reading “BB – 3.11 @ The Bridge”

We are going to continue to pray for our man Rocky’s continued health, and celebrate some great news for him. Wear black and a bandanna. Oh, and be ready to get better. We ain’t getting up for easy. Also, it’s 311 day…so the music will be on point. SYITG- Jewel

It never ceases to amaze me. Every time I post, no matter where it is, there’s someone there that inspires me with their hard work, their dedication to get better. Are there always multiple men ITG that are pushing to get better, absolutely. But I am talking about that one, you can just see inContinueContinue reading “BB – 2.25.2020 The Cliffs @ The Garden”

Come on out to the Cliffs tomorrow. I’ve got two workouts lined up… one if it rains, and one if it doesn’t. If it rains, we will take our friends the coupons to Camp St. Patrick and do our best to stay dry, if it isn’t raining too hard- we will see all The GardenContinueContinue reading “2.25.2020 – The Cliffs @ The Garden – Jewel Q”

Your YHC woke up in a panic at 6:28AM…not the way you want to start a Q day. I rushed through the morning routine and pulled in the parking lot with about 9 minutes to spare… and I was the first one. Splendid. It was COLD… car said 13…I was absolutely not going to checkContinueContinue reading “BB – 2/15/2020 – The Fog at The Poshlands”
