Come start the New Year with me at the County. We are going to meet at the playground for 30ish minutes of heavy work and then switch to the green space for some burpee football because what's New Year's Day without a bowl game. Bring gloves for the heavy. I can't promise this will cureContinue reading "Preblast-Pelican Q Hangover Heavy Bowl, The Foundry @ The County 1.1.20"

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"

For all of us to tomorrow is our last opportunity to get a WO in before the calendar turns to 2020, but for A LOT of the PAX in the Region, tomorrow is also an opportunity for a first...their first post at The Garden. Over the last 2 1/2 years, the Region has experienced exponentialContinue reading "End of the Year Cliffs 12.31.19 PreBlast"

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. Weather – 56 degrees, shorts andContinue reading "12/27/2019 Mary T BlackOps BackBlast (Fall Guy Q)"

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"

What meal is in the Crock Pot? It's the last Big Mo of the year. While it's still 2019, let's make some Mo-mentum before 2020 starts. If you want some Mo, come get some Mo tomorrow. Maybe Worm has Mo jokes than me, maybe no. If you look carefully there's a Mo in Worm. I'll stopContinue reading "Pre Blast 30-Dec-2019 Monday Big Mo at Vets 05:30 Crock Pot Q"

The PAX knew from the pre-blast that the workout this morning would be a celebration of the greatest rivalry in sports - Cats vs Cards.  However, the focus was not on the battle that would take place later in the day on the hardwood. Instead, this morning beatdown was a celebration of the epic beatdown theContinue reading "Back Blast 12/28/19 – Coach Dauber’s Rivalry Beatdown in The Nest @ The County"

The forecast is 50 plus in December, so no excuses not to post somewhere tomorrow. The Mutt will have a mix of running and coupon work. Not a lot of miles, but enough to get the blood pumping. SYITG.

Still not sure on the weinke for tomorrow.  Temps look great, so we will likely explore the park.  Also, no rivalry themed workout but if you want to wear red or blue that’s fine with me.  SYITG

Like a lot of the PAX I've been indulging in all the holidays have to offer so I was excited to not drink and eat all day and night and go to bed early for the first in over a week.
