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.

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”

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.

The Hurt BB – 12.1.2018

I will be honest, when looking at the forecast the night before, and then the radar in the morning, I was just hopeful that there would at least be a couple other brave souls who would join me.  (My backup plan was to go knock on Geppetto’s door, then Windshield’s door and then Miyagi’s door ifContinueContinue reading “The Hurt BB – 12.1.2018”

Preblast – The Hurt – 12.1.2018

There’s pretty much a 100% chance of rain for tomorrow morning.  You’re going to get wet, but it won’t be real cold, so just accept it and come on out and enjoy.  (We will stay out of the mud.)  We will be doing a modification of something I’ve tried before.  There will be running, and probably a lot ofContinueContinue reading “Preblast – The Hurt – 12.1.2018”

BO Ruck. Back Blast. Calling an Audible: Here Comes a Millennial Ruck. Sorry, Abacus. 11.16.2018.

It was approximately 5:30pm, on Friday, 11/16/2018. I hopped into my car, and I was off to Mad Cow’s house to pick up his rucksack that he lent me for the big November Ruck Event. I was getting pumped thinking about all the mumble chatter around what the Abacus ruck would entail. I was excited,ContinueContinue reading “BO Ruck. Back Blast.

Extender Backblast – 11.15.2018

Q: Deuce PAX (6): Left Eye, Miyagi, Zima, Hamm, Wham-O and Deuce When I saw the forecast for ice and rain the night before, I sent my preblast in the hopes that if it was just cold and rainy, PAX would not be deterred from venturing out.  Got up early and I didn’t think it was tooContinueContinue reading “Extender Backblast – 11.15.2018”

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”
