The rain held off this morning for a nice 70 degrees with just a little mist at the end.  We had a good crowd with T18, Banana Bread, Gilly, Capt. Goodvibes, Thumbtack, Turrible (FNG), and Grandpa Bear (Q) representing.  The pressure was on as Banana Bread jokingly said before starting Grandpa Bear never disappoints.  AsContinue reading "6/12 Backblast Bayside"

I know it’s early but I wanted to get this out as soon as possible.  I’m back as Q at the ToG and my skinny arms are tired from this merkin challenge.  So if you are looking for merkins- head over to the Mutt for PEDs 500 Merkin beatdown.  But I also know the OContinue reading "Preblast 6/14 Temple of Gloom"

Come join me at the O in the morning for a Bag of Wrenches beatdown.  There's an 85% chance of thunderstorms, a 99.99% chance you'll get wet, a 100% chance you'll get better and only a .000143% chance you'll get struck by lightning.  I'll take those odds.  SYITG and bring garbage bags for the rideContinue reading "Pre Blast – 6/12 Bag of Wrenches"

I'm trying to Q as much as possible these days before the 2.0 arrives, and I had something special planned today at the North Posh, a little too special that I swept my own feet from under me. 13 HIMs craved to know more about the significance of 6, 11, & 18 Monday ITG: ForcedContinue reading "North Posh 6/11/18 Backblast"

What's up F3 Nation!!  Sorry for the delay, I had some technical difficulties getting this BB out, typical VQ here!  What an AWEESSSSOMME day to start out my inaugural  Q.  Thanks to all who came out to support me.  I hope everyone got a good workout in, I know kicked my own butt! Looking forwardContinue reading "6/7 Back Blast – Who Dey VQ #templeofgloom"

Sorry for delay.. Unlike  the lack of effort in getting this out in 24 hours, there was no lack of effort in 5 other PAX this past saturday @ Bayside.  The random music generator was out, the sun was coming up and hot.  It was steamy... Q:  Glauc PAX: Grandpa Bear, Thumbtack, Capt. Goodvibes, SixContinue reading "06/09/2018 : BackBlast Bayside, HIMS getting work done"

  As I previously stated, I hadn't Q'd a Saturday in a while, so I had been tinkering with my weinke (heh-heh) all week. I was jacked for the WO that I came up with, but I slept surprisingly well Friday night. My alarm goes off at 0615, I get up, drop the kids offContinue reading "06.08.18 The Hurt BackBlast – Old Bay, eventually, at the Helm."

In college I felt like on any given night of the week if I wanted to drink & go out to the bars I could ALWAYS find a fraternity brother who was willing to do the same. Jump ahead 10 years & I feel the same with way this PAX, although slightly modified. On anyContinue reading "6/9/18 Backblast Pre-Ruck for The Fog"

Tomorrow is 6/11/18. So keep those numbers in mind. 6. 11. 18. North Posh tomorrow @ 0530. SYITG. #TheSilo

Come out and get your Sunday started the right way, at the O (6:00-6:45).  I'll be testing out a few things in preparation for my Q Tuesday at the ToG.  Plus, Snowman has already given me the HC, so you'll be in good company.  SYITG

I woke up this morning feeling every minute of 41 years old, aching all over and completely ready to fartsack.  But I remembered that I had called this Black Ops.  I was the Q and on top of that, a PAX I had never met, Duplo, had already contacted me the night before about workingContinue reading "Backblast – 6/9 Black Ops at the Mutt"

Funny story. Nugget and I were talking over a beer at Gerstle's two weeks ago. Retainer: "I'm not sure I'm ready to Q. Give me a few months to get in better shape and figure out how F3 works." Nugget: "You're Q'ing on June 11." Retainer: "So that's how F3 works." I'm loving this group,Continue reading "Preblast VQ Alert at the #Incubator"

One year ago June 7, 2017 happy on the outside, but frustrated with my appearance.  Loving father and husband, but a short temper.  The birth of my son (Ryan) coupled with some health scares and a great friend (Rhythm) recommendation, soon led me to you.  F3Louisville.   Needless to say, I was certainly not theContinue reading "6/7 Kilo Birthday BackBlast #TheExtender"

We have a lot to do in very little time. Body sculpting starts at 6:00am sharp!

Come celebrate my 40th birthday tomorrow morning. It will be hard but we will have fun. Bring a coupon, a ruck, or a kettlebell if you have it.

F3 continues to challenge me to get gooder. Come on out to the Fog for a work to get better.  No such thing as a failure who keeps trying. SYITG.

Got early plans for Saturday and can't make it to see Old Bay at the Hurt, PK at the FOG or Nugget at the Ruiner for his Birthday Q?  Then come out to the Mutt at 6:00am for an early morning post instead!  Going to Old Bay's beatdown or Nugget's Birthday Q, but want toContinue reading "Preblast – 6/9 Pre-Hurt BO at the Mutt"

Men, I haven’t Q’d a Saturday in quite some time, so I’m gonna make it up to you.  I think I have a good one put together for us.  We will frolic, we will mosey, we will laugh, we will cry.   I will show you all that the glorious Mutt AO has to offer.  NoContinue reading "06/08/18 – The Hurt Pre-Blast – Old Bay at the helm."

The new site Q, Old Bay, pulled into the parking lot on Zoo/Tiger time and proceeded to mosey with his Blender flag to plant it beside the Mutt flag.  I said, "you've got about 30 seconds to get that in', to which he replied, '30 seconds is all I need'.  Queue litany of jokes fromContinue reading "Back Blast – 6/6 The Blender"

11 HIMs came out for a coupon work out: Big Bird, Tool Time, Koxeema Jackson, Wham, Grave Digger, Glen Ross, Face, Fridge, Grinder, Snowman, Steerage (Q) Disclaimer given and we took a mosey over to my house to pick up some coupons I bought yesterday. We paired up and ran to the soccer field couponsContinue reading "Norton Commons Black Ops Backblast 06/08/18"

We spent a full 30 minutes stretching  hamstrings and groin muscles and doingContinue reading "North Posh Yoga 6/8 Backblast"

Norton Commons Black Ops. Picked up some coupons today to leave at Norton Commons, trying to make this place official. Bring some gloves as the new coupons have some sharp edges but we will take care of those with this work out. 0530 at Norton Commons.

Thanks to everyone that came out to break my Q cherry!  Yeah that happened.  Weather a wonderful 63 degrees, humidity a little high.  Duplo VQ.  PAX: Curly, Spinal Tap, Buschhhh, Zima, and Digiorno. First question, what kind of Q doesn't know where the group meets up??  Answer, me of course.  Buschhhh and I were standingContinue reading "Backblast 6/7/18 Mary T Black Ops"

We push ourselves each week, and Abacus has been asking me to Q some yoga for our bodies to recover and just relax and stretch. We will do some yoga-ing from 0530-0600 at NORTH Posh - the main entrance off Shelbyville Road, just past Valhalla. I might even go barefoot in the Poshy grass toContinue reading "Yoga @ North Posh 6/8 Preblast"

For the past several years, and prior to F3, Fergie and I would split a personal trainer once a week. Our trainer would often talk about a class he leads on Fridays around 1pm. While we never attended this class, it was something that I always wanted to try. Welcome Kenny Roger to the #theagony.Continue reading "6/7/18 Back Blast #theagony"
