My radar system projects that the rain will have concluded and it will be windy 60 degrees around start time. This will be a run heavy with all paces welcomed. Bring a head lamp, a running vest, strap on some your running shoes and queue Bob Seger’s Against the Wind. #MTCGA -Meter Maid

Preblast- The Nest at the County – 10/8/22 – Meter Maid Q

It was a cold morning (about 37 degrees) so running would be the focus. I left the house a few minutes early only to find a train rolling through Pewee Valley. No worries as this one looked to be moving quickly and cleared before the starting time. When I arrived there were others already parkedContinue reading “Preblast- The Nest at the County – 10/8/22 – Meter Maid Q”

There was a lot of activity around the County this morning. We had 6 runners and 5 ruckers who were out enjoying a beautiful mornings before the Nest.

BB- The Nest – 12/4/21- Meter Maid Q

This was a special workout. It was my last Q at age 44 as I turned 45 today (12/5). I was glad to see two different groups doing pre work before the Nest- one rucking and one running.

BB- 12/5/20 Meter Birthday Q at the Nest

Today was a celebration of my birthday and a return to the Nest. It was a cold foggy day.

I showed up a few minutes early to setup some LEDContinue reading “BB- 12/5/20 Meter Birthday Q at the Nest”

BB- The Nest 8/29/20 Meter Q

Earlier in the week, I had been marketing the Nest workout as a modified sandbag Murph. Pelican kept calling it a “Sandy Murphy Rucky” thing. I wasn’t sure how well it would go over with the PAX. All in all 18 PAX came for this difficult workout. Yoshi came to the County for the firstContinue reading “BB- The Nest 8/29/20 Meter Q”
