I'm bringing a taste of the hardest working AO in the region to the O. There may not be hills like The Garden has, but we will make due without them. Bring a coupon, gloves, and get ready to WORK. SYITG - Jewel

Was searching for batteries this morning so I only had 10 minutes to get set up, and came running back up the hill at 5:29 to get us all moving after setting up 6 stations (yes, on the hill). Warm up and stretching included: Slow Coupon CurlsDownward Dog w/ CouponStretch behind head with CouponCoupon liftContinue reading "8/3/20 BB- Holy Roller @ North Posh"

Join me at the County for a Pelican party. I’m getting a new F3 # tomorrow so come celebrate with me. Need gloves and coupons. SYITG Pelican

So excited to Q this one. VQ for North Posh. I'm imagining the beautiful hills and building coupon buildings, or at least getting the coupons in the right place on the hill (the architect in me). Gonna be "fun" and "memorable". Oh, bring coupon and gloves. Burpees? nope, we have coupons, those are called ManMakers...Continue reading "PB- North Posh (gardens) 8/3/20 – Holy Roller Q"

Bring your gloves as we are going to sharing some of the old coupons - tractor tire, sledge hammer, sandbags, etc. Bring a weight or coupon if you have them so we can add to the circuit. SYITG SnowDay

It all started last night...I had a dream that I was getting ready for a scuba dive and it was cancelled so I lead an F3 workout (the next best thing).

Seneca brings back old memories of my cross country days. I remember witnessing Bobby Curtis (03’ St. X grad) running a 5k in 14:44. It was quite a thing to witness, except I was roughly 2 minutes behind him on most race days. That said, we will incorporate a few CC exercises, run and addContinue reading "Pre-blast – The Ruiner @ The O 8/1/20 07:00"

Mary usually makes a brief appearance in the gloom usually after the main thang has been accomplished. Tomorrow she will be with us for quite some time.

No coupon needed.Continue reading "08-01-2020 Pre-blast The day Mary came to The Max@ Bayside"

Technically, my 2nd Postiversary is on Sunday, August 2.  But, I'm like a giddy little school boy who wants to celebrate early vs. late and was too lazy to schedule a BlackOps on a Sunday.  Plus, The Nest [surprisingly] was open so I jumped on it early. This weekend is the Outrunning, Outbiking, Outgolfing, orContinue reading "Pre-Blast – 2nd Postiversary Q with Jolly @ The Nest – 08/01/2020"
