Normally, conflicting schedules with the M keep me from posting to the Monday Black Ops @ The O. She and the 2.0 skipped town for the night leaving me the chance to get back out on a Monday. When I saw that a Q was still needed for tomorrow @ The O, I volunteered myContinue reading "PreBlast: 1/20/20 – Black Ops @ The O"

Tomorrow is a special day.  Yes, it is Martin Luther Day, and I mean no disrespect to Dr. King when I say it is also a very important day for another reason.  It is the 28 year anniversary of a very monumental day in the history of hip hop.  It was 28 years ago tomorrowContinue reading "1/20 Big Mo Pre-Blast"

Last week my workouts seemed to be leg heavy and Sunday night is basketball night so tomorrow we will be focusing on our upper body. We will go hard to try to stay warm. If you have any lower body ailments South Posh is the place for you. SYITG Pelican

Am I licking my wounds from the loss Naperville dropped on us last week?  Yep. Am I pumped up by the awesome numbers posted throughout F3 Louisville though?  You bet. Do I now have an unhealthy dislike for the Greater Chicago-land area? Nah...just respect. Let’s keep the great momentum going from last week and post big numbersContinue reading "Pre-Blast Monday 01/20/2020 – North Posh Hub & Spoke"

Looking forward to joining the men of the Long Run BlackOps tomorrow morning. Yes, it is going to be cold. Yes, it starts a little earlier than other WOs scheduled on Monday. But, that means you can enjoy that much more coffee afterwards before you go to work. Or, a few extra minutes in theContinue reading "Pre-Blast : Long Run BlackOps @ 0500 : 01/20/2020"

PAX(10): Retainer, Potter, Squid, Jitterbug(R), DoubleDown(R), Crotchety, NumberTwo(R), Mr.Kotter, SweetTart, Wapner Mid-forties, rain and wind. HIM witnessed first ever 'Wapner Board of Pain', inspired by Nino's bop, aimed at a high intensity, high rep, continual strength workout. Proved to be challenging and definitely needs some tweaks. Mosey to overpass bridge (pavilion was occupied) did 30Continue reading "Back blast 1/18/2020 @ The Fog Wapner Q"

Pax Whitney, MeterMaid, Dauber, Tool Time, Porkchop, Snowman, Flounder (Q), and eventually... Worm 4:56 came and went as 7 pax waited on our directionally challenged friend Worm. We stood in 28 degree 15 mph wind wondering if he'd ever show. We sent locator pins, called, shot flares and sent a rescue helicopter. As frost biteContinue reading "Backblast Mumbleruck @ Broadrun Park 1/19/20"

Gonna be a fun ruck tomorrow. Went out and scouted a few routs today. This park has a lot to offer and we will utilize quite a few different trails. Estimating 6-8 miles. The last leg will be near SP so if time gets close we can cut it short.

As I said in the PB (which I know most don't read- not that BB's are read more frequently) that the County was a special place. It's special because of the HIMs that call it home. A place that took a random 2nd post guy and treated him like a brother immediately. I appreciate allContinue reading "Back Blast – 1/18 @ The County: Jewel Q"

90% chance of rain. No running. Plan to stay dry or feel free to play in the rain, your choice just be there SYITG!

It's always nice to get back out to The County. I was looking forward to Thursday all week and I was not disappointed. In all, we 19 PAX. Here is who came out: Scratch and Dent Rocky Red Card My Pleasure Holy Roller (R) Little Jerry (R) Double Down (R) Hush Puppy Ashley Peach EtoContinue reading "Back-Blast – The Agony @ The County – 1.16.20"

My first post ever was the now infamous Yoga WOat the Garden. I'd heard so much about how hard the workouts were, I had to give it another go. I showed up at the County for my next post without knowing a soul. They welcomed me with open arms. This is a special AO. I'mContinue reading "1/18/20- Pre-Blast Birthday-ish Q @ the County"

Since my wrist is still on the mend, I advised the PAX via Preblast that this w/o would be run heavy. Digiorno showed up with coupons, kettlebells, and a face of disappointment when he learned how much running we had in store. Conditions - brisk 26 degrees PAX: Plumb Bob, Digiorno, Dauber, Fridge, Deuce, Wham,Continue reading "1/17 Backblast Black Ops at Mary T #AOoftheYear"

Qing after a big ruck is always rough. I am hoping some folks will save some legs for Saturday. We'll do some running and hopefully have some fun. No burpee's. Promise. If you find F-bomb's offensive this may not be the morning for you...

I was blown away with the double digits we had at LRP! Well done all you HIMs! Much respect for Mr. Hat and all the hard work he's done to make this one helluva site. Let's keep the momentum going. PAX - Methane, Pelican, Birdie, Bubblewrap, Uncle Sam (R), Squid, Mr. Hat, Bob Ross, BrownContinue reading "Back blast Long Run Park BO, Friday 1/17/20 “MAX day”"

As mentioned in my PB, today is my 1 year anniversary with F3. I have learned a lot about myself during that time. I have gained a new larger circle of friends since then. 7 Pax joined me for what I whimsically termed the loopty loop. Fungi, Abacus, Cratchett, Capt. Crunchberries, Brown Water, Gisele, Gilligan,Continue reading "BB 1/16 – BO PWVFD"

#RyleighStrong became a national F3 movement on Tuesday. I'm repeatedly in awe at this group and the impact we have when we come together. "More than a workout" was in full effect this week and the energy at The O was buzzing. In all, we had 27 PAX in attendance. Here is the list ofContinue reading "Back-Blast – BoW at The O – 1.14.19"

Get out to Norton Commons in the morning. It might feel cold when we get started, but you'll be shedding layers by the end. I've got a few new tricks up my sleeve. You won't want to miss it. SYITG.

Backflop brining the lights and the pain to Long Run Park BO tomorrow. We will max our reps of many exercises and there will be minor running. Bring gloves if you got them. Let's make it double digits with attendance. SYITG - Backflop Q

It snuck up on me, but yesterday at The Foundry [according to the Weasel Shaker] was my 250th post at F3.  So, today was a bit of a personal celebration of that milestone. I remember it like it was yesterday when PK and I met up for dinner to catch-up and he was talking toContinue reading "Back Blast – #250 at Cloverfield – 01/16/2020"

So my wrist is still jacked (insert Glen Ross joke) so you can expect a heavy dose of running tomorrow. We'll hit our favorites like Mary Sue etc. Syitg - OJ

Gents, this is my VQ and looking forward to it.  As a gorilla style workout, my aim is for a total body workout with a little cardio and use of the newly minted Vets coupons. (If you are wondering what I mean by a "gorilla style workout", come find out!). Should be fun! - Wiki

In the past I've mentioned that The County was a 2nd home for me. I haven't been there as much this year as I would've liked so I'm looking forward to having the Q there tomorrow! I've been on a Dora kick this week and I don't expect that to change in the next 24Continue reading "Pre-Blast – The Agony at The County – 1.16.20"

Flounder went crazy on me yesterday and sent a pre-blast for Cloverfield and THEN checked the calendar to see if it was open.  Too late, Flounder, because Jolly's got this one on lockdown - including a celebration of post #250-ish! So, I encourage you to come on out to The Garden on Thursday and seeContinue reading "Pre-Blast – Cloverfield – 01/16/2020 – Jolly’s VQ at the Garden!"

For The Foundry workout this morning we set out to give the PAX a full body workout that was both challenging and variable. With that goal in mind, Fructose and I put in several months of planning over the last three days and came up with the Foundry Roulette concept. Lucky for us the roulette wheel was expandable (notContinue reading "Back-Blast Wednesday 01/15/2020 – Foundry Roulette with Fructose & Dauber @ The County"

You get the idea. Come join me at the O tomorrow morning and let’s get better.

Hard to believe it has been a year since Fungi (Airplane and Valdez) finally HL me into coming out. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was at the Foundry and we moved at Thelma and Louise around. I was gassed. But I was also hooked. You brothers have made me better. Come joinContinue reading "1/16 PB – 1 year Post-iversary.
