As I mentioned in my PB, I would make mention of the alarming numbers of Veteran Suicides. Several years ago there was a push-up challenge. There were an average of 22 Veteran Suicides a day. So people were challenging to do 22 push-ups and so forth. The numbers haven’t appreciably changed. I was challenged byContinueContinue reading “BB – 9/10/2020 the Inferno at the Station”

I was recently challenged by one of my early Mentors to do something to help bring awareness to the Alarming numbers associated with Veteran Suicide. We will start the morning with that and then jump into a ladder (what else would we do at the Firehouse?). Bring your coupon, gloves, mumble chatter and fleet feetContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Sept 10 – the Inferno at the Station – 5:30 – Kimble Q”

As I mentioned in my PB, I had planned on posting at Vets multiple times in Feb to get a better lay of the land. Didn’t happen. I showed up with Captain Crunchberries at 5:10 to set up the circuit in the back lot. Got everything laid out and went to the “old” place toContinueContinue reading “3/13/20 BB – The Chopper at Vets.”

Come out to Veterans Memorial Park for the circle of lights. We will run the circuit of the Chopper Landing Pad. Tomorrow will be a full body adventure with minimal run. Coupon heavy so bring gloves if desired. This is my VQ at Vets. Come join me for some County Flare in the city. SYITGContinueContinue reading “PB-Friday the 13th at the Chopper”

As mentioned in my PB, today is my 1 year anniversary with F3. I have learned a lot about myself during that time. I have gained a new larger circle of friends since then. 7 Pax joined me for what I whimsically termed the loopty loop. Fungi, Abacus, Cratchett, Capt. Crunchberries, Brown Water, Gisele, Gilligan,ContinueContinue reading “BB 1/16 – BO PWVFD”

Hard to believe it has been a year since Fungi (Airplane and Valdez) finally HL me into coming out. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was at the Foundry and we moved at Thelma and Louise around. I was gassed. But I was also hooked. You brothers have made me better. Come joinContinueContinue reading “1/16 PB – 1 year Post-iversary. BO PWVFD.”

Weather – “brisk” 17 degrees. Gear – everything I had in the closet. Pax : Holy Roller (R); Rocky; Momma’s Boy; Pelican; Asian Zing (R), Giselle, Bob Cratchet; Bulletin (R) and Kimble (QIC) Started with disclaimer and a mosey to the back lot behind the Old Chapel. COP was mainly stretching and getting loose asContinueContinue reading “BB – 9/19 The Agony”

Come join me to celebrate my century mark. Yes, my 100th post!! I have learned a great deal from you HIMS out there about Leadership and Brotherhood. Temps are supposed to be low, but we will team up and keep warm. This will be a U v U workout with your brothers pushing you toContinueContinue reading “12/19 PB – The Agony at the County”

So, we finally got a break in the weather. Brisk, clear and 53 degrees. Maybe Gobbler brought it down from Pittsburgh as he made his way across the country to Washington state spreading his message of rucking and leadership. Whatever brought it, we were glad. 10 PAX joined me to celebrate Birthday #46. Special shoutContinueContinue reading “BB 10/04/19. Wisteria at Pleasantville B-Q”

We will finally get a break from the heat. Weather should be crisp and clear as will be our focus! As another year passes on my clock, I reflect back to my younger years. My first post was 8 months ago. Because of you HIMS out there I am in better shape at 46 (toContinueContinue reading “10/4 Good Buddy! Come join me for my B-day Q – Wisteria at Pleasantville.”

I was head locked by Fungi 6 months ago. I couldn’t run 1/4 mile w/o walking. I think I was able to complete 40% of the workout. To say I was nervous and intimidated would be an understatement. But that day solidified my desire to get up at 4:30 again. I was still nervous andContinueContinue reading “Backblast: #Loco at the County 7/16/19”

Come bring your 2.0’s for som fun and work in the county. Weather is sketchy so Radar and I are planning for rain or shine. Sunshine will bring out the boards and the bags. Rain will bring: well, wet. But you only get wet once. Watch for lightning. Only thing to stop our fun!!!

I made my 1st post 6 months ago. In that time I have learned a great deal about myself and those of you HIMS I see every week. Come out and get to know each other better with some partner work combined with the opportunity to push yourself as well.

We started bringing out our 2.0’s for a 30 min evening workout. The 3 of us that have had the honor of Q’ing have had our 2.0’s involved in planning the Weinke as well as leading the Pax. The idea is to help them grow with us both Physically as well as develop leadership skillsContinueContinue reading “3rd County F3 Dads WO”

So, 3 months ago Fungi finally broke it down to me. “I am picking you up at 5:10. I am Q’ing. Be ready.” Some 40 posts later, I finally get on the schedule for my VQ. 18 other Pax showed up to witness a Derby themed workout. Weather was 62 and cloudy. Intermittent sprinkles wereContinueContinue reading “Back Blast Kimble VQ at the Loco in The County”
