So in three days and really just 2 posting days (Thursday/ Saturday), F3 Louisville collected and donated 58 coats to the St John Center for Homelsss Men.  In addition to the coats an entire box of face warmers was donated (50).  So in the midst of the coldest stretch of below freezing weather in theContinue reading "Coat Drive Update"

For those of you following along, you know this is more than a Workout Group. We try to help our communities and each other. A member of F3 needs help; he has ALS. He lives in North Carolina, and posts with the F3 SouthWake Pax. I first heard his story when I visited the areaContinue reading "Won’t You Help? #morethanaworkout"

QIC: Diablo Pax: Red Roof; OJ; Mayberry; Gillispie Weather: Scientifically speaking, it was wrinkled nuts weather this morning at The O.  Start time temp a solid 1 degree, with reported wind chill of -4. While the PAX small in number this morning, I knew the HIMs there with me could handle anything I threw at them.  ItContinue reading "Backblast 1/6/18 at The O"

PAX OJ, Captain Insane-o, Glen Ross, Zartan, Zima, Red Roof When everyone was throwing out ideas for a good place to go on a Ruck, Crescent Hill Golf Course immediately came to mind. I live really close and I'veContinue reading "1/6 Crescent Hill Golf Course Ruck Back Blast"

QIC: Tron Pax: Captain Insane-o, Mr Ed, Old Bay, Zartan, Waterboy, Zoolander, Digornio, Gepetto, Loco, Glenn Ross, Zima, Wham-o, Buschhhhhhh, Backdraft ”I’ve got a jacket in my car if you want it” said Captain InsaneO as YHC approaches the circle. “What for?” I smugly asked. Then we started to Mosey and I thought to myself, that jacketContinue reading "Backblast 1/6/2018 #TheHurt"

2 PAX (Little Jerry and Abacus) left the warm confines of the fartsack for a #running #blackops @parklands! We covered 5 miles in 40 minutes. Running, like rucking, provides a balance of 1st and 2nd F's! More #running #blackops to come! Stay Tuned! #getbetter

9 HIM Got better this morning and slightly frozen for my VQ. Double Down (Respect), Little Smokey, Methane, Abacus, Ralphie, Storm Trooper, Little Jerry, Ice Man.

Pax: 4 = Old Bay, DiGiorno, Buuuuusssssccccchhhhhh, Spreadsheet (QIC) Temperature : cold. Attire: Whatever would keep you warm, however my new running pants were a bit loose. I’m going to attribute it to I’m making progress….   We started with a lap around the school to get loose then we circled up near the small Continue reading "#Post Blast: 1/5 @ the Mutt"

Oh it’s poshy out here, even in the cold!   0530 you know where we start!

Pope didn’t wear sleeves, YHC was concerned for his safety, CI is a HIM and lent pope his jacket.  That’s why we aren’t your average workout group.  We have a PAX member stubborn enough to wear no sleeves and shorts over the bridge in -5* wind chills, and another Pax member kind enough to sacrificeContinue reading "1/5 Ruck training Back Blast 7 Pax @Big4"

Oh hello there.  Thanks for stopping by. What are you up to these days? That's great. Oh, Me? I'm just putting the finishing touches on my weinke for tomorrow's workout.  Coming together real nice.  Got the mosey to the basketball courts on there.  Got some exercises on the tennis courts.

Yes it will be cold - Ruck up yes it will be hard - Ruck up yes it will be beautiful - Ruck Up Ruck training at the Big4 bridge @0530   👀 im looking at you pope 👀

I’ve been to this park 100 times over the past 5 years as a Jtown resident.  That being said, I’ve never been at 5am.  A few observations; it’s dark (like no lights dark), really quiet, with a spectacular view on clear mornings.  The park sits a bit higher than the city of Jtown, so you’reContinue reading "1/4 BackBlast Black ops @ Charlie Vettiner #TheHue"

To the best of my knowledge, there exists a ladder that the PAX has not climbed, or at least has not climbed in awhile.  It is a ladder of a biblical dream.  It is a ladder that provides an ascetic path, or perhaps successive steps, toward excellence.  Curious?  Interested?  We are going to climb suchContinue reading "The O #Ruiner Preblast 1/6/18"

Tee times still available so HC/book now. Ruck will start at 5:45 on hole 1. We will finish up at 6:45 to give everyone time to head back to the O/Mutt. **If it snows, we can just sled down hole 5. https://media.giphy.com/media/WndRjqGHeKSYg/giphy.gif Syitg OJ

A total of 11 PAX made it out in the gloom for a burpee beatdown. Q- Vincent, Gillespie, Scratch, Red Roof, Sully, O.J., Nugget, GlynRoss, Cardinal, Bean Counter and Mayberry we're present and accounted for! Side Note, I did get a message from Cutlass at 5:12am. He hated to miss but was on an internationalContinue reading "1/4/18 BackBlast @the”O” #Burpees"

The weather was supposed to be a balmy 11° this morning, so #thebridge planned to have a Poshland’s picnic. Well the weather did not cooperate and the only thing in the double digits was our PAX!! And here it goes.... Methane -Q, PAX: Tool Time, Dunphy, Ice Man (R), Boozer, Gypsy, El Diablo, Glaucoma, LittleContinue reading "Picnic in the Parklands"

We are gonna throw some concrete around and get huge. #gitsome

Pope made us run 16 gassers this morning at the Mutt. Running will be minimal tomorrow, burpees.... Not so much!!

12 of Louisville’s finest philosophical minds (Pinky Pie, Vincent, Mouth, Mad Cow, Backdraft, Buscccch, Glen Ross, Spreadsheet, Tron, Nugget, Wham!, and Pope) gathered at 0530 today at the blue ribbon school for an in-depth discussion of metaphysics. Tasty mocha chinos and cafe lattes spurred us on a stimulating debate, including the fundamental nature of man’sContinue reading "Why am I here? – Backbkast 1/3/18 #theblender"

So we tossed out the idea this morning at #theblender to try and collect as many coats/ jackets that we could over the next 4 days.  This past fall, we did a signifanct fundraising event for the St John Center for homeless men.  Well, they need more help and I’m asking F3 Louisville to stepContinue reading "72 Hour Coat Drive"
