In talking to BigBird at church on Sunday, he mentioned he hadn’t been to the gloom in about 2 weeks due to a bum knee.  I asked if a upper body/ab workout would do and he immediately gave the HC so we booked it.

Come out on Tuesday (not the normal Thursday) to The Firehouse for some upper body and ab work. No running. No burpees. No squats. #freebigbird    

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”

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.

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”

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.
