This summer Le Pew ran the Billy Madison workout at The County and at Peggy Baker park. I enjoyed it in the way you enjoy something that really sucks. So when IHC came around I decided to make a trip to Bayside and see if Billy could graduate with Zack and Kelly. We loaded upContinue reading "Backblast -Pelican Q The Max @ Bayside 1.10.20"

Last week in the Gloom I was struck by the story of a young girl who was struggling. A fellow HIM shared with the group about Tony Malito's niece, Ryleigh, who has been in the hospital since December 24. She was first admitted for the Flu but was later diagnosed with pneumonia and was transferredContinue reading "F3 Louisville is #RyleighStrong"

This will be my first Post of 2020.  I strained my calf muscle in the middle of doing 55 sprints up the grass hill at the VET.  No worries, I've been through it before and have a plan.  We will not do much running but the activity level will be high.  There might be someContinue reading "PreBlast – Vincent Q The Ruiner @ The O 1/11/20"

Tomorrow morning at Posh we're running to Pope Lick and back. If you slap the Gheens Lodge, slap the bathrooms at Pope Lick, and then slap the Gheens Lodge again, you've run 8 miles. I've got 5 HC's already. Who else is in? 0530. Let's roll.

As of yesterday they were predicting 100% chance of rain on Saturday morning.  As of this moment, the forecast is 35%.  I predict that by 7:00 it will be down to 0%.  So I'm planning a workout based on my uneducated opinion.  The temps are going to be in the 60s so get out thereContinue reading "Preblast 1/11 The Hurt at The Mutt"

BonusContinue reading "Pre-Blast – the Nest @ the County – 01/11/2020"

While it was not quite sunny and 75 degrees as promised in the pre-blast, it was an unseasonably warm mid-50s and the expected rain never hit.  The weather was literally perfect...you can try to convince me that there is not a magical bubble around Pleasantville, but it will be a futile attempt.  I am notContinue reading "Back-Blast Friday 01/10/20 – Pleasantville Ring of Lights Elevens with Coach Dauber"

The white Bronco is headed to the Vet in the morning to murder some fools. What can you expect? Well...you'll just have to show up and see for yourself. Kick off your weekend with me in the gloom. RUN...GO...GET TO DE CHOPPA! Syitg -OJ

According to Glen Ross, today's workout was a high 7. Initially, I thought to myself, "what a low score!". However, after clarification from several Mutt veterans, I was assured that a high 7 was respectable and that meant Glen Ross was happy with how it went. Knowing that I passed the "test" I enjoyed theContinue reading "Back-Blast – The Extender at The Mutt – 1.9.20"

I love making my way down I-265 southbound to visit the PAX at Vets. PK, the Tank Site Q, was instrumental in head locking me out of the fart sack some time ago - and I haven't looked back yet.  The Vets AO and PAX definitely have something special.  Not sure what it is, butContinue reading "Back Blast – Tank @ Vets – 01/08/2020"
