Glen Ross and I used to joke that it always rains in Pleasantville. When we first started out there, it seemed like it rained, without fail, every Friday morning. It’s only fitting then that there’s a 90% chance of rain for my return to the streets of gold. As Old Bay says, you only getContinue reading "Preblast- Wisteria at Pleasantville- Grinder Q 1/3/20"

Did you miss your first chance to get better in the New Year? No worries, tomorrow is back to normal schedule so there should be no excuses. Bring whatever you need to get better. Gloves are recommended and good shoes encouraged. SYITG Sump Pump

What meal is in the Crock Pot? Look ma', no hands! When Crock Pot makes the PAX do exercises a different (but very specific) way, will the Garden crew be discouraged? Or strong? Bring gloves for coupons. Bring shoes for running the hill of stolen souls. Hold on tight, tomorrow is you vs. you, butContinue reading "Pre Blast 2-Jan-2020 Thursday Cloverfield at the Garden 05:30 Crock Pot Q"

For the New Years Day workout I asked Dauber if we could move the start time back to 7 and go for an hour. I wanted to work hard for about half the time and get some burpee football in the other half. He graciously obliged but our relationship has gone down hill since then.Continue reading "Backblast-Pelican Hangover Heavy Q 1.1.20 Foundry at the County"

Posh is running on holiday hours tomorrow. Join me at 0700 to get the new year started right. And because I'm running a race later in the day, I can guarantee that there will be no wind sprints over the Bridge. 2020. 0700. SYITG.

I've spent the last 4 weeks slowly working my way back into gloom. Modifying often but getting better each day. I wasn't sure where I would be fitness wise when I put my name on the calendar to Q but I figured I would be able to do most things. It was pretty chilly, spittingContinue reading "Back Black – Bulletin Q – Black Ops at Peggy Baker Park – 12/31/2019"

YHC has the Q at The O tomorrow. This may be the last time you work out in 2019. Where else would you rather be? (rhetorical a$$holes) Get out and end the year with the right mindset. SYITG

Alright PAX, many of you may have heard but to those that haven't, on 12.19.19 I got confirmation that my ACL had been torn (whilst attempting to play indoor soccer on 11.12, my 18 year old mind telling my 42 year old body that it'd be ok). In an effort to squeeze in a surgeryContinue reading "2020 Pull Up Challenge-Q1"

Reflect, mirror, echo, or follow. No matter how you started 2019, finishing it at the The Loco is the right way to close it out. It will be a You vs. (Not) You workout. We will Reflect. Reflect on ourselves, and the fun that is had within this group. Expect some short distance running, andContinue reading "Pre-Blast – The Loco – 12/31/2019"

Got to Mary T’s a little early to get a little EC and was joined by @Buschhh.  I have been loving this warm weather in December, so I figured it was a perfect morning to burn some of the fat that has accumulated from all of the Christmas festivities.

I've only posted a few times at North Posh and this was my first Q there. For those that post with me, you know I'm not one for running - but, if I don't keep trying then I won't get any better at running. So, why not? It is amazing though how many hills thereContinue reading "Back Blast – Silo @ North Posh – 12/30"

I've got the Q tomorrow at the O. Normal start time and normal fun to be had. Bring shoes and shorts or pants. Outside of that, all accessories are acceptable. Might rain, but who cares. You only get wet once Nugget

I'm excited to make my first Q appearance at South Posh! Better bring your A game tomorrow. It will be 45 minutes of constant movement (aka running) and beat down PT. No rest for the wicked here. Can't wait! SYITG - Backflop

Tomorrow is one day closer to 2020. Tomorrow is also another day that you have the option to wake up and get better. Others can't even if they wanted to. Tomorrow you have the opportunity to be pushed by your peers to achieve something you didn't think you could overcome. Others don't have this supportContinue reading "Pre-Blast : Jolly Rancher @ the Silo at North Posh – 12/30/2019"
