Extender Valentine’s Day Back Blast

I scheduled to do Valentine’s Day at the Extender quite a few weeks ago.  I knew I could have some fun with it.  But before I even firmed up the weinke, the playlist had to be completed first. Nothing but love songs. (The playlist can be found at the end of this blast so thatContinueContinue reading “Extender Valentine’s Day Back Blast”

1/23 Blender @ The Mutt Back-Blast

So as I said in my Pre-Blast I picked up Blueprint’s Q so he didn’t have to Q two out of three days.  He took the bitter cold day on Monday and I took the rainy Wednesday.  The forecast was predicting rain so I planned my weinke thinking we would get wet regardless if weContinueContinue reading “1/23 Blender @ The Mutt Back-Blast”

1/22 Blender @ The Mutt Pre-Blast

Originally Blueprint was going to Q both Monday BO at The O and Wednesday Blender at The Mutt.  I thought I’d make it easier on him and take his Wednesday.  As we all know Monday was bitter cold but dry.  “The Experts” are predicting 75% chance of rain but 47 degrees for Wednesday morning.  I’mContinueContinue reading “1/22 Blender @ The Mutt Pre-Blast”

State of the Region and Changing of the Guard

On April 22, 2017 I showed up to the first F3 Louisville workout at the Seneca Park Tennis Courts (The O) with a couple of others not knowing at all what to expect.  It was a rainy, cold morning and my wife and I had just brought home our third 2.0 from the hospital theContinueContinue reading “State of the Region and Changing of the Guard”

The Hurt (1/05/19) Backblast – Better Late Than Never, Amirite?

The Rooster 1/8/19 Pre-Blast Bringing the Pain

I thought long and hard over the weekend about my weinke for my first Q of the New Year.  How about some leg throws?  That’s a great a idea.  I haven’t done those in quite a while.  How about meeting with our good buddy Jack Webb?  Sounds great.  Just need to add some coupon work,ContinueContinue reading “The Rooster 1/8/19 Pre-Blast Bringing the Pain”

Calling all Pax

Calling on all PAX. Please! The charity for the banquet is the Boys and Girls Club. Similar to F3, kids that use the Boys and Girls make a choice every day to go. There is a strict code of conduct and school work must be completed before fun. That’s where the similarity ends. If ourContinueContinue reading “Calling all Pax”

Back Blast The Blender 12/19/18 Zima Q

In my first year of F3, I haven’t lost any weight (that’s on me), my mile time is probably the same and I still struggle with 20+ merkins at a time, but F3 has had a profound effect in my life way beyond the Gloom.  I’ve been in and out of gyms and various bootContinueContinue reading “Back Blast The Blender 12/19/18 Zima Q”

The Blender PreBlast – F3versiary

@nathangilmore13 (Nino) and I are F3 twins (fraternal), both celebrating our one year F3versiaries tomorrow with a Q. Both are good options so get out of bed!  My story: Three hundred and sixty some days ago @buschhhhh, @f3digiorno and @backdraft2 overserved me at FABD on a Friday afternoon and convinced me to show up atContinueContinue reading “The Blender PreBlast – F3versiary”

12/13 pre blast – The Extender at the Mutt

I ran into Geppetto last night and he told me his back was really sore.  I told him to let me know if he needs me to Q for him on Thursday. Fast forward 12 hours. I’ve got no idea what we’ll do yet so my suggestion is to come ready to work. Gloves andContinueContinue reading “12/13 pre blast – The Extender at the Mutt”

11/14/18 Blender Preblast

You know it’s going to be cold. Belski says 100% chance of cold but 0% chance of precipitation. Let’s make a liar out him. Join me at the Mutt and we’ll make sure there is enough sweat flowing that they’ll close school because of the ice in the parking lot. You know you prayed it wouldContinueContinue reading “11/14/18 Blender Preblast”

The Blender BB 10/3/18

My apologies to the PAX for being tardy on the BB.  We worked really hard for 45 minutes and then you had to wait more than 4500 minutes for the recap from your Q. Honestly – I was shooting for 44 minutes but then @danbayer123 reminded me that we still had another minute and hadContinueContinue reading “The Blender BB 10/3/18”

9/12/2018 – The Blender Backblast

After the mass of humanity that showed for the 9/11 backdraft beatdown, I could only wonder if there would be a letdown this morning. I prepared my wienke in a way that it could accommodate 8 or 80. Lucky for me, I got to lead the 8 HIMs that came out and gave there allContinueContinue reading “9/12/2018 – The Blender Backblast”

The Blender Pre Blast 9/12/2018

To follow the 35 HIMS that made it out this morning for the @backdraft @backdraft2 beat down is going to tough.  We have so much to be thankful for.  If you want to get better and are not afraid to modify as needed or even fail when necessary, come out to the Mutt and letsContinueContinue reading “The Blender Pre Blast 9/12/2018”

Backblast: The Rooster @ The Mutt 8/28/18

Writing this backblast proved to be harder than my Q. It’s difficult to describe the feeling of overwhelming support I had when car after car pulled into the lot.   Thank you to the 30 PAX that showed up!  I will never forget the great (also nervous) feeling I had seeing you fellas at 5:30am! My analogContinueContinue reading “Backblast: The Rooster @ The Mutt 8/28/18”

Back Blast #theBlender 08/15/18

With the first day of school looming, I was hoping to incorporate something from school into today’s weinke.  While having the Pax complete a plank inch work around the building al la carpool came to mind, I wanted to move around.  I was talking to the 2.0’s at lunch yesterday about school and their favoriteContinueContinue reading “Back Blast #theBlender 08/15/18”

The Blender PreBlast: The Presidential Fitness Test – 5:30am Holy Trinty Zima Q

Circa 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower was alerted that thousands of US kids had failed a basic Swiss implemented fitness study.  Panic ensued and shortly thereafter the first version of the Presidential Fitness Test was born.  Fast forward to circa 1987, Mr. Kennedy was advising my fifth grade class on the strategies for mastering the flexedContinueContinue reading “The Blender PreBlast: The Presidential Fitness Test – 5:30am Holy Trinty Zima Q”

McAfee blends up the Mutt – Back Blast – 8.8.18

After a brutal Iron PAX workout yesterday, the Mutt crew might have thought this morning was going to be a little easier. One Mutter even decided to take to social media about their prediction for this morning: With this expectation, I was pumped to bring some of the Posh pain to the Holy Trinity gang.ContinueContinue reading “McAfee blends up the Mutt – Back Blast – 8.8.18”
