Nothing beats a trip to Vets. Hands down you're always guaranteed a good time and a laugh...or two. This trip was no different. Obligatory Vets picture. Earlier in the week, I received word that a downrange PAX was going to be in town. Naturally, I encouraged him to join me at The Tank for myContinue reading "Backblast – The Tank at Vets – 01/12/2022"

Yankovic will be completing 2 consecutive days as Q and officially beginning his 2nd year as a part of F3 tomorrow at The Patriot.  Temps will be above 30 degrees it appears, downright steamy in light of our last few mornings together.  He says we will need a coupon and do some running.  No tabata thisContinue reading "Pre-Blast 01.12.22 – Black Ops @ The Patriot – Yankovic 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"

We got a heat wave coming through get out and post, it's going to be 32 degrees. No coupons needed SYITG Dukes

That's right. Jolly's packing his bags and headed south to lead the men at Vets. Always a great time out there - so looking forward to some awkward mumblechatter of great stories shared by some of the greatest story tellers in F3 Louisville and also some recommendations on random things that I'll never try orContinue reading "Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Tank at Vets – 01/12/2022"

Had a weinke planned that could either be modified for partner workouts or groups of 3. Sure enough - we had 5 PAX show up. Time to file that weinke away for next time. PAX: LambeauLadybird (R)TimeshareHush PuppyJolly Rancher Disclaimer provided as time was called. COP: Modified slightly from my normal set to make sureContinue reading "Backblast – The Loco at The County – 01/11/2022"

It’s like a riding a bike is what people say. I don’t really know how to do that very well either so let’s see if this first Q in a long time is similar to that. Bring a ruck if you have it—and/or a coupon. Meet at the playground behind the school. SYITG Pelican

Weather looks great tomorrow in comparison to my last Q last week the day after the snow storm. Looking forward to having a clean parking lot and lots of room to move around. Hope you'll join me - YES, that's you PAX that I haven't seen around in a while. Bring a coupon and aContinue reading "Pre-Blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Loco at The County – 01/11/2022"

It was a nice, chilly 19 degrees when I arrived at the Abyss this morning at 0525. Did a quick drive to make sure there was no ice where we would be running and got back to the court, set up the flag and time was called. PAX were F-Stop, Diane Dukes, Kitty Litter andContinue reading "BB Monday 1-10-22 The Motivator @ The Abyss"

Come out and enjoy our provided coupons at The Garden, they fit just right. We will get full body coupon work in and mix in plenty of sprints to keep warm. SYITG! Minnow

That was some serious hill work this morning. Shout out to the 5 PAX who joined me and covered a 5k or more on the hills of North Posh. 6 total PAX - Nice & Slow, Bacon, Mr Roper, Backflop, Meter Maid, Dauber (Q). We started with 5 at the Silo. After a quick disclaimer weContinue reading "Back-Blast Monday 01-10-2022 – The Silo @ North Posh"

No coupon necessary tomorrow at The Abyss but don't think that means easy. Full body workout with some cardio mixed in. 0530...Long Run Park basketball court. SYITG.

Lace ‘em up and get out to North Posh tomorrow morning for some #beastmode action. I’m going to run back one of my favorite Qs using some different terrain. We will be running a lot. No coupons, no music, no problems (can’t promise that last one). SYITG-Dauber

Always a pleasure making it out to The Garden - though, wasn’t sure what to expect with the single digit temperatures and snow on the ground. Luckily, Gardeners are a group of real men that aren’t afraid of a little chill in the air. The following PAX showed up for some sledding: BaconCaptain CrunchberryHarry CarayDianeContinue reading "Back Blast – The Baptizer – 01/07/2022"

On this cold January day in County, 1/8/22, Icy roads, frozen flags and 12 degrees on the dash. 7am and I was surrounded with some of my closest brothers in this journey of life. On this day I celebrated my 3 year Postiversary. December 2018 I was extremely overweight, struggled to breath, couldn’t tie myContinue reading "BB: Gisele 3yr Postiversary Q: Nest @ The County"

3 years ago I was the definition of a sad clown. 326 lbs, ate Fast Food Daily, struggled to tie my shoes. LePew was relentless in his pursuit to turn my frown upside down. Here we are 2022 and The boys in the gloom be waking up with some Gisele. Be ready to climb withContinue reading "PB: 3 yr postiversary Gisele Q Nest @ The County"

I'll start with the obvious…it was freaking cold this morning (2 degrees wind chill).  However, Viking saved the day with a text yesterday reminding me about the parking garage at PV which we used this morning to at least block some of the wind and it allowed for dry ground.  It was still cold af.  ItContinue reading "Back-Blast Friday 01-07-2022 – Wisteria @ Pleasantville"

It’s gonna be cold in the morning. Well, that goes for everywhere except the always sunny and warm Pleasantville. Ok…it won’t be sunny or warm but we will get moving early and stay moving. We might even find some cover for the workout, so don't let the weather deter you from the beatdown.No coupons needed.Continue reading "Pre-Blast Friday 01-07-2022 – Wisteria @ Pleasantville"

Cold morning to have a VQ, but one doesn’t get to choose the conditions, only how you respond to them.

I'm looking forward to playing in the snow with the PAX of The Garden tomorrow. Sleds are optional, because I don't really think they'll be needed coming down from the Baptizer. In all seriousness, conditions will dictate the weinke...so come prepared for anything. And, if you don't want a snowy coupon, bring your own. SYITGContinue reading "Pre-blast – Jolly Rancher Q – The Baptizer at The Garden – 01/07/2022"

After a warmup that included nuclears to get warm, we started the thing. Sets of 22 followed by transport and more sets of 22. Throw in some more self straddle hops and overhead claps. Believe it or not, The Muttsters can count that high. Great work! We had a downrange visitor from Delaware. Great work,Continue reading "1-6-22 Backblast Thr Mutt with F-Stop"

The cold should not keep you away. Backflop won’t let you be cold for long. That’s a promise. We will be working hard and moderate running will be involved. No coupons needed. Bring ice skates if you got them. Ha. SYITG - Backflop

After some time away from The Mutt, I look forward to returning. Bring a coupon and a good attitude!! You won’t be cold for long!

I am feeling soft after the holidaze and need a good tried and true beatdown! That changes tomorrow. We will run a modify kinda Murphlike challenge that we see us cover distance with a strong coupon component. We will stretch our legs while exploring an underutilized spot at Saint A's, and smoke our core withContinue reading "PB – Kinda Murphish @ The Agony 1/06/2022"

I've been inspired this week during some IronHorse travels. Taking something I've learned and putting a goonish touch on it. Please join me for two digit temps tomorrow at The Garden - 0530. Coupons - provided, Gloves - strongly recommended. SYITG ~NattyLite
