YHC always checks the weather when heading out to the “Planetarium”. After all, it’s called Planetarium for a reason. Details: mild temps (with a promise to make you lose a layer by 0540-hrs), mostly clear skies, and –get this– a full moon! Perfect for a bit of coupon work (yes, bring ’em), ground work, partnerContinue reading “Pre-Blast 03.07.23 Boondocks Planetarium (Kitty Litter Q)”

It’s been a while since YHC has dented the hallowed ground of The O with a concrete building block. So, HIMsters, we got some work to do. It’ll be an all around challenging effort, zero rep counting, probably some teamwork, mild on the mosey, definitely coupons needed, and extra credit for HL’ing an FNG-SC. SYITG.

Kitty Claus’s Tour de Oldman County “R” Week continues unabated. For those on his “naughty” list (i.e. fartsackers & snarky-chatterers), expect to be served up a stocking full of coupons, uphill running, and sucky polar-bear crawls. For those on his “nice” list…well, kind of the same…because no-man left behind, right?. We’re expecting great weather andContinue reading “Pre-Blast – 12.16.22 – Defender at Patriot (Kitty Litter Q)”

YHC’s “Respect-Week” tour of Oldham County soldiers on. The commitment and enthusiasm of F3 Louisville’s latest AO addition has been amazing to watch. Solid attendance numbers, solid HIM-building, solid fitness efforts. It’s an honor & privilege to be invited out to my first Stable Q ever. Well, either that…or they just ran out of oldContinue reading “Pre-Blast 12.15.22 – Bridle at The Stable”

The weather looks absolutely stunning, perfect, and ideal for some Heavy work at the County. Music sounds better under the portico anyway, and them County Boys need a break from a season of an exceptionally-high mosey volume. Come on out and rotate among stations, specifically designed to work all muscle groups evenly and thoroughly. GetContinue reading “12.14.22 – PreBlast – Foundry @ The County (Kitty Litter Q)”

There’s only one proper way to erase that extra helping of candied-yams and buttery rolls that we Pax shoved in our flapping head holes: The Nest at the County (0700). (Wow, cool rhyme – “rolls & holes”!). We’re gonna move around a lot, sweat a lot, and chatter sparingly. Bring: mosey shoes, coupons, and aContinue reading “Pre-Blast 11.26.22 – Nest at County (Kitty Litter Q)”

Friday at Vets will be mildly-to-moderately awful (read: challenging). You know when the Dentist says (i.e. lies) that “you might feel a bit of pressure”…or “you’ll notice a slight pinch”? Yeah, well, that! Only on this one, Kitty Litter promises that you’ll be a better HIM by 0615…AND get to keep all your teeth inContinue reading “Pre-Blast 11/4/22 – Chop-Ya-Up at Vets (Kitty Litter Q)”

YHC has been looking forward to another Poshy Q for quite a while now. The Bridge Q Board of Directors hasn’t yet issued perimeter/radius guidelines, but once those limits communicated, we can get on gettin’ after. Bring coupons (but a weighted ruck is also a good choice on this one)…mosey-kicks too. Also bring both yourContinue reading “Pre-Blast 10.12.22 – The Bridge at Posh (Kitty Litter Q)”

YHC was thinking the other day about all the “linear” (straight up & down) coupon movements we’ve suffered in the gloom recently: Curls, Man-Makers, OH Presses, Skull-Crushers, etc. Those are all fun and swoleful, but YHC started brainstorming all the other possibilities that our humble blocks of concrete might offer. I came up with 20+Continue reading “PB – 09.22.22 – Agony at The County (Kitty Litter Q)”

Well, this should be interesting. YHC went to the doctor today to assess an elbow ligament tear. I explained to Doc that I’m Q’ing a very important AO in the morning and could she help? Blank stares…nada. I said, never mind…just let me know if I’m cleared to do Murder Bunnies? As the Doc reachedContinue reading “Pre-Blast 09.16.22 – El Garden (Kitty Litter Q)”

I’m grateful to the Boondocks HIM for having me out to Q this morning, and even grateful to Cap Crunchberry for publicly inspiring (read: shaming) a prompt production of this abridged Back Blast. Planetarium Wednesday AO is now under new management: The Tier-1 Leadership Team of Virginia Slims and…Virginia Slims. It was a fine, coolContinue reading “Back Blast – 06.28.22 – Planetarium @ Boondocks”

Love dem ‘Boonies! I’ve been an occasional guest out Yander, but may have only Q’d the AO once. We’ll have perfect weather, fully-committed Pax, and nothing easy going on. Don’t delay!…Set alarms, mark calendars, promise the man you shave with that 0530 Tuesday you’re committed to getting fitter. We’ll have some fun stuff, new stuff,Continue reading “Pre-Blast: 06.28.22 – Boondocks – Kitty Litter Q”

I had this Q on my calendar for a couple months, knowing that “never miss a Monday” would converge with the day I planned on completing my first (of two) five-decade blocks of life. The Patriot AO, and all those HIM who frequent the joint, provided the perfect venue to assure my foot would remainContinue reading “Back-Blast 06.20.22 The Patriot (Kitty Litter “R” Q)”

When typing the title above, I started typing “06.20.72”, as I’ve become accustomed to writing that date on countless forms & applications over the years. We’re told to “respect” our elders, and that’s generally pretty good advice–honoring those who have come before us, for their sacrifices and (sometimes) wisdom. But when I see F3 menContinue reading “Pre-Blast 06.20.22 – The Patriot – Kitty Litter Q”

The opportunity to Q out at the Vets came up earlier this week when Worm reached out about this Friday’s (today’s) opening. I was mildly interested…and then learned he was out of town. “SOLD!” JK. Worm’s a stand-up guy and Vets is lucky to have him. Next time I’ll bring the heat to a fewContinue reading “Back-Blast 06.10.22: Chopper at The Vets (Kitty Litter Q)”

When @Worm reached out to secure a Q for tomorrow’s Chopper WO, I jumped at the opportunity to serve this legendary F3 hallowed ground (the last time I was out there, I clumsily & shamefully trampled on the Vets’ Seal after COT!…ouch!). This is my VVQ, or Virgin Vets Q, so I’ll have to bringContinue reading “Pre-Blast 6/10/22: Chopper @ Vets – Kitty Litter Q”

I had planned on sticking around the home-gym for this morning’s workout, but then Mr Hat had DM’d a few Abyss regulars to see about getting together for a BO. Often, I find a certain peaceful tranquility–a refreshing introspective solitude–when working out alone. But there’s almost nothing I’d rather do solo (bike, run, lift, monkeyContinue reading “BB – 06.08.22 – BO at Abyss (Kitty Litter Q)”

The Gladiator at Abyss on Friday (0530 start) won’t require coupons (or even a Weinke). It’s quite simple: COP…50 Merkins & 50 Ninos Grandes…One lap around Lake Abyss (1.7miles)…50 Merkins & 50 Ninos Grandes…2nd lap around Lake Abyss (1.7miles)…50 Merkins & 50 Ninos Grandes…COT. Kitty Litter = Q.

I’m excited to get back out to the O tomorrow. Back in my 20’s, when I lived near there, those near-east parks were a staple in my fitness game. Now, with F3, it’s all coming Full-Circle (see how I did that…puns intended with a triple entendre: “O” being a circle, Seneca Park making a loop,Continue reading “PB 03.29.22 – El “O” – Kitty Litter Q”

I was considering that age-old philosophical question about a tree falling in the forest…and would anybody “hear” it if nobody was around? Well, since I had only heard of the Mutt, and the wild pack of Mutt’rs who dwelt there–but haven’t actually seen a Mutt’r outside his natural habit, I was inspired to do aContinue reading “Pre-Blast 03.26.22 – The Hurt @ The Mutt – Kitty Litter Q”

I’m looking forward to my first Q at Posh! Years ago, and soon after they finished installing this WO’s namesake, “The Bridge”, me and my M would squeeze around the temporary fencing in front of the bridge to explore the “new” Parklands section yet to be opened. Loved it then and love it now. It’sContinue reading “PB-03.23.22-The Bridge @ Poshland-Kitty Litter Q”

We had a solid group of 11 show up, which was good given what looked like rain/snow conditions at 0500. Somehow the precipitation let up and that wasn’t even an issue. After some light banter and some even lighter COP stretching & warming up, we jogged our coupons to what I call “Big Lot”. DroppedContinue reading “BB 03.09.22 – Patriot – Kitty Litter Q”

Tomorrow morning’s the day when we’ll have enough Pax at The Esteemed Patriot to physically pick up and move that sad-looking courthouse that’s up on jack-stilts. We’ll call it the Community Coupon, and if we have 30+ (and a few FNGs) we can do a giant Murder-Bunny, nay, a Murder-Elephant while getting as jacked asContinue reading “Pre-Blast 03.09.22 The Range at The Patriot: Kitty Litter Q”

Four pax showed up and exited cars at 0529…savoring every last drop of pre-post heat. After a brief set of greetings (and some mild mumble-whining about the temps), off we went. Took a short mosey down to the boat ramp to make sure the lake was still there. Did some light SSHs, easy stretching, andContinue reading “Back-Blast 01.24.22 Motivator @ Abyss – Kitty Litter Q”

What to bring: Coupon, Commitment, Courage, Clown (the sad type). Shake off the weekend and accelerate into the week. SYITG, -KL-

Had a six-pax (plus one Q) show up. Also a few F3 runners who show up…then gone like the wind. Opening disclosures and off to mosey for a “County-Tour” warm up. Along the way, we made pit-stops for COP (SSH, Grass-grabbers), 10 BOYOS, Turkish Get-Ups, Copperhead Squats, Dips, ‘Merkins, and some other stuff. Main Thang:Continue reading “BB – 01.13.22 – Agony @ County – Kitty Litter Q”

Got a great full-body + cardio + core workout ready for the County Boys. You’ll need coupons in hand by 5:30 sharp, so YHC can demonstrate how little of a professional he really is. And showing up with a good attitude won’t hurt (because YHC gonna give you a “case of the Mondays” on aContinue reading “Pre-Blast 01.13.21 – Agony @ The County – Kitty Litter Q”

It was a fine morning in the gloom. Just 3 Pax (YHC, Flip Flop, F-Stop) circled up for hearing the “I’m not a pro” intro, then off we went down to the boat ramp. Sidebar: Is there another AO that can do BOYOs and also commission watercraft? Thought not. Anyway, we dropped for 10 BOYOs,Continue reading “BB Abyss – 01.12.22 – Kitty Litter Q”

This mid-week, Iron-Horse-stat-padding, full-body, soul-crushing workout promises to have you looking at your watch frequently. (…i.e. “I can’t believe it’s only been 14 minutes!”). Your coupon will be your security blanket in the gloom, which I’m told won’t be as gloomy…with downright balmy temperatures. This should be a good one to visit, and a goodContinue reading “Pre-Blast 01.12.22 – Escalator @ The Abyss – Kitty Litter Q”

Here’s what’s going down: A mashup dubbed “Ritty Luby” or “Kuby Ritter” or ….well, it’s really not that important. What is important is the work. First, your upper-body will be worked until it feels like your legs got a decent workout…then your legs will receive the Hurt-Implant until you wished we were still working theContinue reading “Pre-Blast 12.13.21-Minuteman@Patriot – Kitty Litter & Ruby Mash-Up”
