@Squid reminded me of my last Q at the Abyss. He described it as a "nuclear light show and karaoke." Ahhh yes, good times. I say, let's relive the good times! I can't help you if you don't like good mornings, toy soldiers, nuclears, flutter kicks, burpees, long-runs by the lake, merkins, and Billy Joel.Continue reading "PB Le Pew – The Escalator @ The Abyss – 2.3.2021"

10th Mountain Division, World War 2. These men did not let the winter get in the way of being Awesome. That's right, Pax, tomorrow's weather calls for snow. And what could be better than training in the snow? Maybe nothing. So get out into the Gloom at Long Run Park tomorrow at 0515 and getContinue reading "PB: The Abyss, 0515 Mon 2-1-21, Motor Boat, Q"

The American Century continues. At least it did this past Friday, Jan. 29 at Pleasantville, when 9 men won one for the Gipper by passing the test of the Time for Choosing. They chose to get up, and get out in the cold and in the snow, and get tougher, faster, and more humble. Pax:Continue reading "BB: Pleasantville, Friday 1-29-21, Motor Boat Q: MORNING IN AMERICA"

HIMS are killing it all over the city as we start 2021. So many PAX just busting it and doing really cool stuff. I hadn't Q'd the hourlong workout at the NEST in a long while, but felt I had to bring it. Hopefully I succeeded. Weather - Cold but clear (along with a beautifulContinue reading "Backblast 1/20/21 The Nest @ The County (err..Boondocks West) – Fungi Q"

Lots of cold and lots of snow was in the forecast for the morning so figured I’d have to scrap my original plan and come up with something based on the safe space available and the # of PAX in attendance. With the snow coming down I wasn’t sure how many people would be thereContinue reading "BB-Pelican Q the Agony at the County 1/28/21"

It's been a crazy week at work so I'm looking forward to getting out to The Nest for a change. It's gonna be cold so we'll be moving the whole time. We'll pretty much run back my Q from yesterday with a few wrinkles and a bit more running to fill the extra 15 minutes.Continue reading "PreBlast – 1/30/21 The NEST at The County – Fungi Q"

Sometimes when it's cold and dark, you have to make a decision. A decision about what kind of day it's going to be, and what kind of man you want to be. Tomorrow, decide to make it a winter's morning in America. Come to the shining city on the hill. Even if we turn outContinue reading "PB: Pleasantville 1-29-21, Motorboat Q"

I wish Jeffersontown was closer. I love the vibe and feel of working out at The Vets. Something about the monument and the way it perfectly fits our COP and COT. The flags flying overhead with the reminders on the park benches with words that honor our service men and women. Words like: honor, courage,Continue reading "Back Blast – The Tank at The Vets – 01/27/2021"

Nothing too Fancy tomorrow boys....just a good old fashion beat down. Don't let the cold weather keep you in the fartsack. I don't get up for easy and this one is going to be tough. Bring a coupon, gloves, and a can do attitude. SYITG DYNO

It amazes me that 1) I've been doing this 2.5 yrs and 2) that I still don't sleep great the night before a Q. I pretty much knew what I wanted to do, but knew the weather could throw a wrinkle into it...it did..kind of. I showed up and the parking lot was chunky ice.Continue reading "BackBlast 1/28/21 The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – Fungi Q"

Come get baptized at the Garden to earn an extra beverage or three this weekend. Coupons, gloves, running shoes, positive attitude - bring it all. Don't forget we get an early start on Fridays: 5:15-6:15am.

We ran a lot this morning.  I was clear on that plan in the pre-blast so was pretty pumped to see the regular Abyss crew was pretty much all there (no surprise really...the Abyss boys are always putting in work).  There were two surprises though as Plumb Bob made his first post at the Abyss (andContinue reading "Back-Blast Wednesday 01-27-2021 – The Escalator @ The Abyss"
