We decided to combine the PWVFD and Agony workouts today so we’d have a big group to send a message to our guy Bulletin who was donating a kidney this morning. At 5:29 we gathered and made a “best wishes” video to send to him before he went into surgury. He promptly responded so weContinue reading “BackBlast – PWVFD BlackOps – Part 2 11/7/19 Fungi Q”

Do you come out week after week, or month after month, and wonder  how much better you are getting?  Now that IronPax has finished up, the BlackOps at The Firehouse turns its attention to a continuous improvement program…and a little motivation to keep you going through the holidays. This will be a program that occursContinue reading “PreBlast – 4 Part Series – The Firehouse BlackOps – PWVFD – Thursday Oct 3.”

Several weeks ago a couple other Pax and I were talking about how to increase our 3rdF.  At the same time we were talking about the #verseoftheday channel on Slack.  The idea that came to the top was to post the  Proverb corresponding to each day of the month and see if any of theContinue reading “Daily Proverb and Commentary – Increasing 3rd F”

1 year ago this week, Pew Pew EH’d me in Nashville and here we are a year later.  I’ve heard people say it before, but being a part of this group is life changing.  I was honored to lead 15 pax (+2 runners) this morning.

One year ago this week, PewPew EHd me while we were at a conference in Nashville.  It was an awesome experience as F3Nashville was wrapping up their annual engagement with https://413strong.org/.   I started posting at The County the next week.  Little did I know the experiences and friendships I would be a part of aContinue reading “PreBlast 8/20/19 – Fungi Postiversary Q #Loco @ The County”

In the County’s continued efforts to Starfish (split pax away from the main location in order to grow both the old and new location),  I decided to Q a new location.  We parked in the English Manor lot on LaGrange Rd and then used about a square block of territory as the workout space. OurContinue reading “8/15/19 – Backblast BO PWVFD – Fungi Q”

As we continue our County starfish efforts, we’ll be trying out a new place tomorrow.  7600 Lagrange Rd. English Manor parking lot. We’ll be working out near the Pewee Valley Fire Department site.

Tomorrow’s Q will be similar to the Alphabet Q I did a while back.   I am also trying to encourage people who may be on the DL or are trying to headlock someone new that this will have modifications available and is truly Open to All Men. See you in the gloom. Fungi

Pax, F3Nation is expanding all the time. New cities, new AOs, new PAX.  Listen here for a very good F3 expansion discussion: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f3-nation/id1218921251?i=1000440237819 As the new GrowQ for F3Louisville, I am excited to work with the leadership team to grow our current AOs and expand to new AOs throughout the city.

While I don’t think anyone would confuse me with a Beast, I am looking forward to my first Q at North Posh. North Posh is supposed to be run heavy.  June is the Merkin Challenge. I’m not going to over-complicate this. You should know what to expect. SYITG – Fungi  

Summer break doesn’t mean you get a break from elementary school activities like tracing the alphabet.  You’ll primarily remain vertical but if you are working on the monthly Merkin challenge, you’ll get a good start to the day. SYITG – Fungi

My first ever post with F3Nashville ended in a coffeeteria after an early Thursday post. That isn’t so common here with F3Louisville but I thought I would give it a try. I know a lot of PAX have to head off to daddy/husband duty, but if you’ve got a few minutes, please feel free toContinue reading “5/7/19 2nd F – “Waterteeria” – #Loco @ The County”

The neck/shoulder still aren’t quite right, so no coupons.  I hope you have good soles on your running shoes though. North Posh Monday won’t be the only heavy run this week. SYITG – Fungi

Kimble and Fungi decided to meet up to give Kimble a chance to test out a potential rucksack. A 55 min Ruck on a pleasant evening on the Coppiced Woods Trail with 2.0s and a 4 legged friend made for a good night. Pax – Kimble, Fungi  

Pax – Valdez, Exxon, Le Pew, Trekke, Fungi Others in attendance – Maggie, Reese, Sydney After the Terrain Race we decided warm drinks,  some grub, and additional fellowship were in order. After trying a closed McD’s, Valdez and Le Pew made the Waffle House call. Fungi and Trekke forgot dry shoes after the race soContinue reading “3/16/19 – Coffeeteria – Waffle House”

I’ve always enjoyed my time at The Vet. Its got a cool vibe both in atmosphere and company.  When the DDC encouraged Qing at other AOs, I knew I wanted The Vet on my list. It will be chilly but come out as we’ll keep moving, and at times fast. SYITG – Fungi

Trekkie, Bus, Le Pew, Kimble, Viking, Cowboy and Fungi met up at McD’s for some good 2nd F and some hotcakes/coffee. 3 Non-F3 2.0’s jumped in with the Pax as well for breakfast. (Reese/Sydney – Fungi) and (Sam – Kimble). #F3Dads      

Now that I’ve washed my eyes of  the simulated throwing motion of some of the Pax, I can now see clearly to type. As Pitchers and Catchers reported to spring training this week, I thought it would be a good time to warm our legs up for some base running.

I [briefly] thought about doing a Valentine’s themed Q, but I’ll save that for the M challenge.  Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training this week and baseball used to be one of my favorite things. You don’t need to go to FL or AZ for spring training this year, just come out to theContinue reading “Pre-Blast 2/14/19 – # The Loco @ The County”
