Could not have asked for better weather for this one! Of course, we had some REAL HIMs do a BO ruck before the Q.  Kudos to those who participated in that.

Want to know what “heartbreak” hill has in store? Come find out tomorrow at the Patriot. The newest BO site ITG. Meet at the LaGrange Courthouse @ 0530 tomorrow (Monday). No coupons needed as we will be running up and down heartbreak hill. It will be awesome and I promise not to break too manyContinue reading "Pre-blast, The Patriot BO, 2/22/21 @ 0530"

Since The Baptizer is now an hour long, there is a plenty of time to deliver a proper beatdown. I wasn't sure what the turn out would be due to the temperatures and some of the PAX traveling for Iron Horse but I wanted to make sure those that were there got their money's worth.Continue reading "Back-Blast – The Baptizer at The Garden – 2.19.21"

Tomorrow will be my first Q at the Darkest AO in Louisville. Tomorrow offers very little "easy" - it will be cold & wet... Tomorrow is an opportunity to push yourself; resist the snooze button and get better. Gloves, coupons, and running shoes required. SYITG ~NattyLite 🍻

North Posh is back open, come out and start your week off right. We will run some at first then finish with some coupon work. SYITG Diane Dukes

Shark Bait and I have been watching the Dark Knight trilogy the past few evenings. How DC ruined such a monumental reinvention of a franchise is beyond me. And now, over the next year there will be three separate actors playing Batman in completely unrelated roles? What a mess. But, I digress. Last night weContinue reading "PB – Incubator @ Posh 02.22.21"

The single digit weather couldn't keep away the 5 brave HIMS away from the gloom this morning. 5 -PAX: Ladybird (R), Diane Dukes, Jitterbug (R), Methane CO-Q, Bob Ross CO-Q We start with a mosey to the rock bridge to do COP underneath the overpass in hopes that it will raise the wind chill. NotContinue reading "BB The Fog @ Poshlands 2.20.21"

Last time I Q'ed at the O, I brought a bunch of new stuff that required a decent amount of demonstrating. This time, we're going to keep it real simple. Dress warmish and leave the coupon at home, it's going to be cold but we'll be on the move the whole time. SYTIG

The plan for this morning was run quite a bit around Pleasantville so I arrived a little earlier than usual to drive around and check the roads. Conditions were not too bad so I decided to stick with the plan. We had 9 PAX at 0530 so disclaimer was given and confirmed.  Extra call outContinue reading "Back-Blast Friday 02-19-2021 – Wisteria @ Pleasantville"

Neither cold nor dark can keep the Pax away from the best AO in the city. Uncle Sam, Flip Flop, Mr. Hat, Harbaugh, Crachit, Tidwell, and F-Stop gathered at 5:15 in the snowy Abyss!! After a COP that involved a routine of exercise, 10SSH, exercise, 10SSH, exercise, 10SSH, exercise, 10SSH, we began Jack Webb FridayContinue reading "2/19/21 Backblast @ The Abyss (F-Stop)"

Better late than never! It was cold but lots of HIM got in pre-rucks and runs prior to the workout. 15 total either came or stuck around for the workout— Airplane (no he wasn’t there) Yankovic (R)Hot TamaleBig BirdTidwellCratchitHoly Roller (R)Diane DukesHoney DoJolly RancherLe PewMeter MaidBackflopGisele Brown WaterPelican (Q)Ghost Flag Gave the disclaimer and weContinue reading "BB-Pelican Q Nest at the County 2/13/21"

If you end up tilting at the Poker Ruck tonight, then I bet you can get your mojo back tomorrow morning at the Nest.  Sunny and 75 is the forecast.  I could be blind to the fact that it might be a touch on the cold side,  but don’t let the turn you into aContinue reading "2.20.21 The Nest at the County"

Today we had great conditions. Fresh snow allowed for traction and running the loop! We had 5 stations. 4 body weight workouts per loop and one coupon station. The first round was my call on all the workouts. We had 8 including me show up so each person got the opportunity to choose a workoutContinue reading "Winter Wonderland 02/18/2021"

Tour de 'Ville de Sequel - Stop #5 of 12 With the unpredictable weather, I reached out to Digiorno and suggested he have a backup plan in place. I intended to make it out, but I wouldn't know until 4:30 the next morning. I haven't tried, but I'd imagine coming up with a Q beforeContinue reading "BB Squid Q – Extender @ The Mutt 02.18.21"

Snow white and just right! The weather was perfect for a challenging Q. Inclement weather Q might stick after this one. I came in with one objective build a snowman with anyone that was willing to get out of the fartsack to join me. To rescue came Birdie, Slugger, and Firing Pin. We quickly gotContinue reading "Back Blast – 02/18/2021 The Big Kapowski – Slide Rule"

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s cold. And I know we start 15 minutes earlier than other AO. Blah blah.... excuses. Come out and try something fun! Bring a coupon. I’ll decide later if we are going to use them. SYITG

It is going to be cold once again on Friday morning (might even drop below 60 degrees at Pleasantville), so the plan is to get moving and stay moving.  This means plenty of running is on the docket.  No coupons needed.  SYITG.-Dauber

Not knowing what the AO was going to look like in the morning, YHC was hesitant on creating an elaborate beat down for the unknown number of pax that would be in attendance. The only two things that were going to be part of the plan was, no coupons and there would be some running.Continue reading "2.16.21 Back Blast – BoW @ The O"

Hey Mutters, I have no idea what we’re going to do tomorrow. Bring a coupon for some work that’s likely to be mediocre at best. Either way, it’ll be worth it... maybe. SYITG

Pax: Pope, Glen Ross, Motor Boat, Violet, Backdraft, Zima, Wham, Digiorno, me (Q) Conditions: 12 degrees; felt like 2 Gear: Base layer, fleece lined joggers, sweatshirt, gloves, toboggan, socks, Asics gel Dominating the paddle court until 11pm last night left little time to plan this morning's workout. However, I wasn't worried, I figured whatever knuckleheadsContinue reading "B.B. The Blender @ The Mutt"

They say the third time is the charm. Not sure how that applies but perhaps it means we have a good turnout for my inclement weather Q number 3 in one week. It has been fun but certainly could be improved with more HIMS to come out and challenge themselves and each other. Don't beContinue reading "Pre-Blast 02/18/2021 Snowman Building – The Big Kapowski @Bayside"

Tour de 'Ville de Sequel - Stop #4. I started my early trek to county by falling down the 4 steps outside my front door with my coupon and water. Since Pelican already has a list of actions that equate to the verb "squid", I decided I couldn't add anything else to his list. So,Continue reading "BB Squid Q – Foundry @ County 02.17.21"

It may be a bit snowy tomorrow, but it won't be too cold. Be smart about your travels, but if you can join us safely, you're definitely invited to get better and have some fun with your brothers of the gloom. We'll be doing a mix of exercises and running, but not too much running.Continue reading "PB: ToG @ The O, 2-18-21, 0530"

Today was a pretty important day for me. I had been quarantined due to being COVID positive, with some really unpleasant symptoms. So, this was my release from quarantine and I NEEDED it! The weather was the last thing on my mind but, believe it or not, I did arrive about 6 minutes early toContinue reading "BB 2-15-21 The Motivator @ The Abyss"

Conditions don’t look great for tomorrow but we are still going to get after it. Bring a coupon and gloves. If it’s not too icy we will be doing some running but if plan on doing a decent amount of coupon work. Syitg Tidwell
