It's going to be cold so we are going to keep things moving. Expect to do some running around the park along with some coupon work. Be sure to bring gloves... unless you're a badass or enjoy frost bite. SnowDay

PAX: Fergie BOGO (DR) Violet Bueller (DR) Porkchop (Q)   Since we are having a work out the day after the beer ruck I didn't expect much of a turn out.

It’s been nearly 2 weeks since I’ve been in the gloom. I’ve missed it dearly and I can’t wait to bring the energy I’ve saved up to the BigMo!!! Bring gloves and something heavy to throw around. SYITG

In recognition of @Bulletin WO involved heavy and a sh## load of merkins.

It's going to be cold in the morning so swing by the County to get warm. We'll keep moving the whole time so you won't have a chance to cool off. It'll be a full-body beatdown with some running, some pulling, some pushing, some lifting and some inappropriate mumblechatter. SYITG

They say do what you're uncomfortable doing right? Well, I've only Q'd The Foundry once before and in my critical opinion, it was lackluster and left something to be desired. So sign me up Alexa for another shot (long over due, I know...). That doesn't mean I won't be nervous. But you know what? SometimesContinue reading "11.6.19 Back Blast for The Foundry- BigBird Q"

Ever take some time to reflect on what you have accomplished in a year? Ever do that at a time that's not January the 1st?

We decided to combine the PWVFD and Agony workouts today so we'd have a big group to send a message to our guy Bulletin who was donating a kidney this morning. At 5:29 we gathered and made a "best wishes" video to send to him before he went into surgury. He promptly responded so weContinue reading "BackBlast – PWVFD BlackOps – Part 2 11/7/19 Fungi Q"

In case you're on the fence, here are some reasons why you should come out to Long Run Park tomorrow @ 0500 and anytime at Polo Fields Clubhouse when you can: You're already up before 0500 anyway. So why not post 30 minutes earlier? Traffic is non-existent at that time of the gloom. You getContinue reading "Why Should You Post @ 0500?"
