Small chance of rain tomorrow, so plan on coupons (and gloves if you wish). If dry or no lightening, we will likely move a little bit with some running.

I prefaced the PB with the plan for the morning would depend on which “40 year old ailment” I was afflicted with (or free of) that day. As it was, I woke up feeling pretty good, all things considered. We started with a warm-up 1/4 mi lap and COP on the tennis courts. Largely focusedContinue reading “6/7/22 BB BoW @ the O”

No coupons, but running shoes would be recommended. I have several “over 40” ailments going at any one time, so we will see what hurts the least tomorrow morning and go from there.

Tomorrow is going to be a mixed bag, and a choose your own adventure. I am dealing with some ailments, and I know a few others are too. Tomorrow will be you do you. Bring a coupon, dress warm. No running shoes needed.

Weather: 50s, no rain. PAX (5): Pork Chop, Harry Caray, Subprime, Viking, Fergie (Q) COP: We took a mosey through Pleasantville, with stops along the way to get our legs loose and our heart rate up – SSHs, runner’s stretch, grass grabbers, Imperial Walkers. The Thang: I selfishly made today a leg day based onContinue reading “12/10/21: BB – Pleastantiville”

Luckily Airplane reminded me he signed me up to Q tomorrow. Small chance of rain tomorrow, and I hate being cold and wet. So we will go with a plan A and a plan B. Plan A will be run and leg focused; no coupons needed but will plan to move. Plan B (in theContinue reading “PB: 12/10/21 – Pleasantville”

Weather: Cool, low 50s Pax: Tron, Russdiculous, Handbook, Harry Caray, Part B, Palmolive, Gollum, Whitney (R ), Fergie (Q) COP – quick 1/4 mile loop, then SSHs, grass grabbers, stretching & tempo merkins Thang – We took a mile coupon lap with stops at every other lamppost. Stops included things like: man-makers, curls, skull crushers,Continue reading “BB: 10/19/21 – BoW @ the O”

You should bring a coupon. Shoes that would allow you to run are also good. Gloves couldn’t hurt either.

Weather: high 60s Pax: Harry Caray, Sump Pump (R ), Part B, Handbook, Russdiculous, Pork Chop, Motorboat, Jolly Rancher, Sweat Shop, Fergie (Q) COP: Short lap and the usual (SSH, Grass Grabber, Runner’s Stretch, etc) Thang 1: Man-maker 11s We did 11s on the tennis courts. Side 1 was a deconstructed man-maker (so, first roundContinue reading “9/28/21: BB – BoW @ the O”

I did this at the Mutt a month or so ago, and was rated a solid 2.3. You will need a coupon tomorrow, and gloves are also a good idea. Other types of weight can work, but a coupon will probably be the best. No distance running tomorrow.

We will abide by most of the Mutt rules (we will not go near any wet grass). Putting out a pre-blast actually does break a core Mutt tenant, which is why I said most. I will hold with tradition and do at least 50% of it on the fly however. Bring running shoes and gloves.Continue reading “9/23/21: PB – Extender @ The Mutt”

Weather: Sticky, mid-70s. Summer just not yet giving into fall. Pax: Tron, Sweat Shop, Harry Caray, Handbook, Jitterbug (R ), Pork Chop, Russdiculous, Fergie (Q) COP: As has become my “thing” at the O, we do our COP on the move. One lap (1 mi) with stops to do some warm-up exercises. Sorry, Tron, there’sContinue reading “BB: 9/14/21 – BoW @ the O”

Come on out tomorrow to the O. Tomorrow will be lighter on the running (note, I said lighter not non existent). Bring a coupon. Gloves are usually a good idea as well.

My last Q at the Mutt was 40 minutes of man-makers. I think that went over well with the mutters. Rinse & repeat? Show up to find out! Gloves and shoes recommended.

Weather: 70 degrees, 95% humidity Pax (7): Handbook, Harry Caray, Alfalfa, Russdiculous, McAfee, Sump Pump (R ), Fergie (Q) The PB called this a run smedium, which was a hedge in the event we had lightening and needed to find some cover. As it was, no rain or lightening and it became a run smheavy.Continue reading “8/31/21 BB: BoW @ the O”

Tomorrow at the O will be a run smedium. No long distances, but we will cover some ground. If it’s only raining, we will likely proceed with Plan A. Plan B – If there is lightening, we will find some cover. Bring a coupon just in case.

Weather: mid-60s, but humid. Definitely got a sweat going this am. Pax (16): Handbook, Klopek, Pork Chop, Flo Jo, Harry Carey, Sump Pump, Spider (DR, R), Biscuit (DR), Violet, Russdiculous, Motor Boat, No Nuts, Gringo, Sticker Boy, Silver Dollar, Fergie (Q) COT: When at the O, I like to use the 1 mi O loopContinue reading “5/18/21 – BoW @ the O”

Come on out to the O. Not entirely sure yet what we will be doing, but bring a coupon, gloves and your running shoes. We won’t do any distance running, and we won’t do any coupon runs. **If you have extra coupons and can throw in your trunk, please bring just in case someone needsContinue reading “5/18/21 – BOW @ The O”

If you’re reading this, Tron has unlocked my editing privileges in wordpress, now that he lured everyone to the Mutt this morning. Weather: Perfect F3 morning Pax (10): Handbook, Russdiculous, Harry Caray, Gringo, Alfalfa, Klopek, Sump Pump, Violet, Pork Chop, Fergie (Q) COP: We did a running COP, setting off around the O loop.

Come out, and let Fergie make a man out of you (that’s foreshadowing). I know there is the ruck event happening later that evening, and I know there should be a good turn-out for that. If you’re rucking, this will be a nice warm-up. If you’re not, it should be a good start to yourContinue reading “8/21/20 – PB: The Chopper @ The Vet”

Pax: Captain Crunchberry, Holly Roller, Porkchop, Cratchit, Double Down, Jolly Rancher, Fergie (Q) Weather: low 70s, but an uncommon lack of air movement for PV – a bit sticky   Airplane contacted me about co-Qing this (after he had already picked it up). I suppose he foresaw the mechanical issues that would keep him fromContinue reading “6/5/20: BB – Wisteria @ Pleasantville”

I will mark my return to the gloom with the Grand Re-opening of Pleasantville. Technically, this is supposed to be a co-Q between Airplane and myself, however his reliability rating with on-time departures is WAY down lately. Either way, the curfew is lifted, so we will get moving at the normal, 5:30 start time. It’sContinue reading “6/5/20: PB – Return of the Pleasantville”

Admittedly, a recycled recent Q. Given the traveling habits of the Mutt,Continue reading “3/3/20: BB – Rooster @ the Mutt”

Weather currently shows 52 degrees and a 40% chance of showers. You may get a little wet, but don’t let that be a reason not to turn out. You’ll need gloves for some coupon work.

PAX: Mama’s Boy, Ashley, Cratchit, Honey Do, Red Card, Holy Roller (R ), My Pleasure, Scratch-N-Dent, Fergie (Q) Weather: 37, with a light and mostly consistent rain.   CoT With a brave 9 showing up for a rainy morning workout, we took a short mosey to the covered section by the playground to get warmedContinue reading “2/13/20: BB – Agony @ the County”

Running shoes and gloves should cover you.

PAX (9): Glen Ross, Captain Insane-o, Trump, PED, Russdiculous, Shyster, Fall Guy (R), Pork Chop (co-Q), Fergie (co-Q) Weather: A nice, dry morning in the mid-40s. COP: Quarter mile lap led by Pork Chop, with SSH (40), Aboe Vigodas (10) and some arm and leg stretching. Thang 1: Chop took the first 15-20 minute blockContinue reading “BB – 2/3/20: BO @ the O”
