BackBlast #Sunday RunDay @the “O”

PAX of 2 made it out for a Sunday afternoon run. Little Jerry and Vincent logged 6.3 miles today. Little Jerry apologized for the slow pace 8:17/mi. That's really not slow and... he ran a trail 1/2 marathon last night in Indy. You read that correct - 13.1 miles last night. One bad F3 man!!Continue reading "BackBlast #Sunday RunDay @the “O”"

16 PAX hearts pounded harder than they ever have...well maybe harder than before we started the workout. I will go with what makes me feel better.  YHC called to Get coupons and line up at field. Lots of MC about coupons being stuck together and too much ice and snow on them, most of thisContinue reading "BackBlast 1-18-18 #TempleofGloom READ IT"

BackBlast #BlackOps #theHue #Torcher

YHC anxiously checked SLACK for fartsacks and other excuses. The flu was causing PAX to cancel left and right. YHC was worried it may be a PAX of 1. But, the workout must go on, so I set off to the gloom. To my happy surprise Double Down and Little Jerry were there waiting. StarContinue reading "BackBlast #BlackOps #theHue #Torcher"

Where: The Posh When: 1/20/18 0700-0800 What: Partener style workout...hopefully we have an even number, if not, sorry to the odd man out. With the projected weather, its going to be hard to figure out if we are in Louisville or in the tropics. Don't be scared, it wont hurt too much.

Digiorno VQ at the “O” #TempleofGloom, I am going to Steal your Hearts or just make them beat faster.  #F3Counts 

I remember my first post at the O...so excited and nervous (so out of shape).  We did so many exercises with weird names and everyone was talking in that crazy Lexicon.  I knew this was going to be awesome or we are going to be made fun of by everyone, so glad it is theContinue reading "Digiorno VQ at the “O” #TempleofGloom, I am going to Steal your Hearts or just make them beat faster.  #F3Counts "

01-17-18 – Backblast – 5 HIMs became reacquainted with our old friend Murph at the #TheMutt #frozenblender

As I rolled up to the #TheMutt this morning and saw one motherrucker rucking along and only one other car I was afraid my preblast scared the rest of the PAX off. Alas, I was mistaken; Glen Ross rolled in right on time and Diguorno took Tiger's place by flying in on two wheels. WeContinue reading "01-17-18 – Backblast – 5 HIMs became reacquainted with our old friend Murph at the #TheMutt #frozenblender"

01-17-18 – Preblast for the #frozenblender

As I sit here contemplating my sanity for even considering working out in negative degree wind chills and 0 degree temps consider this for a moment: You’ll burn more calories - As the body works harder to regulate its core temperature among the elements, you’ll burn a few more calories during your wintry workout. You’ll strengthenContinue reading "01-17-18 – Preblast for the #frozenblender"

1/17 Bridge Preblast: CI Always Brings Gifts #getbetter

Last time I Q'd at the Posh, I brought a rig full of coupons (hand stenciled by the Ensigns). Most of the Pax out there weren't familiar with these versatile tools, but they learned quickly. And they were appreciative. I realized last week, though, that I'd set a precedent. I guess I need to bringContinue reading "1/17 Bridge Preblast: CI Always Brings Gifts #getbetter"

The Posh was blessed with a surprise covering of snow this morning and chilly temps hovering around 17 degrees.  Fifteen men embarked upon the challenge of the Miserable Mile and all 15 completed the task, despite several men that took a nasty spill that could be heard from Simpsonville.   Luckily no injuries or causalitiesContinue reading "1/15/18 Backblast #TheMiserableMile  #Theincubator"
