Pre-Blast: 12/23/20 – The Tank @ Vets

Life has thrown me a couple of curveballs recently that have kept me out of the gloom for the most part over the past month. I’m back with a bang tomorrow as Q @ the one and only Vets. One of the curveballs I mentioned was a knee injury that I’m still not fully recoveredContinue reading "Pre-Blast: 12/23/20 – The Tank @ Vets"

BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Poshlands 12.19.20

In the pre-blast I pointed out that a lot of the Christmas songs drive me crazy. They start their relentless repetition sometime in October, I think, and don't stop until the tree is removed and all signs of the holiday are gone. I found a weinke that someone built around the twelve days of Christmas.Continue reading "BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Poshlands 12.19.20"

Rewind about a month ago when Digiorno reached out to me and asked if I knew anyone outside of theContinue reading "12.18.20 BB-The ‘06 @ Mary T-BigBird Q"

Back Blast – The Nest @ The County – 12/19/2020

I'm on record saying this, but I'll say it again - The Nest is my favorite workout of the week. It's a time for a little extra credit, a little longer of a workout, full of 2.0s, and normally lots of banter, mumblechatter and shenanigans. Today would be no different.

IRON HORSE CHALLENGE 2021 – F3 LOUISVILLE

Thriving or surviving – what a better way to sum up 2020.  If given the choice, I don’t think there’s any question which option every PAX would choose.  This past year has challenged each of us physically, mentally and spiritually.  We’ve had to be agile, be flexible and  be leaders in different ways than weContinue reading "IRON HORSE CHALLENGE 2021 – F3 LOUISVILLE"
