11.15.21 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss

About a month ago as were training for the marathon/half, we were having some good mumble chatter as only long runs with friends can produce. One of the topics was stepping up to Q. I mentioned to Dauber (among other things) that I had one scheduled at The Abyss that I just couldn’t recall signingContinueContinue reading “11.15.21 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”

BB – 11/15/21 – The Patriot – Meter Maid Q

I knew it was going to be a cold one so I designed a weinke to keep the PAX moving. When I set off from Pewee Valley, it was 32 degrees and as I approached the Colonel William Oldham (CWO) statute, it was 30 degrees. When I arrived early to setup, Ruby was already there.ContinueContinue reading “BB – 11/15/21 – The Patriot – Meter Maid Q”

11.15.21 Pre Blast-The Motivator @ The Abyss: BigBird Q

I wanted to post a cool picture of Colonel Longrun similar to Meter Maid’s PreBlast picture at The Patriot. Unfortunately, the only thing you may be able to see at The Abyss at 0500 aside from your hand just in front of your face, may be the stars in the sky…if we’re lucky. Be oneContinueContinue reading “11.15.21 Pre Blast-The Motivator @ The Abyss: BigBird Q”

Back-Blast: The Agony at the County – 11.11.2021 – Little Jerry Veteran’s Day Q

 Wherever you were for this morning’s post on this Veterans Day, you were not the timid, you were a man in the arena.  We ended with this favorite quote of mine from Teddy Roosevelt… “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or whereContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast: The Agony at the County – 11.11.2021 – Little Jerry Veteran’s Day Q”

PB – The Nest @ The County 11.13.21 – Honey Do

Saturday marks just less than a week after completing a Marathon, which kicked my butt(still sore in some places)! Per Marathon my Saturday’s were dedicated to long runs. Soooo, I’m excited to not wake up and run 16ish miles tomorrow. However tomorrow won’t be easy an there will still be some moderate distance. Bring aContinueContinue reading “PB – The Nest @ The County 11.13.21 – Honey Do”

Back Blast – The Defender @ The Patriot – 11/12/2021

Man, that felt good. It’s been a hot minute since I was able to Q – fearing that the run training would increase the probability of a Q fartsack. So, I put the Qs in low gear for a while. But…in the great words of Randy Quaid on Independence Day: HELLO BOYS…I’M BAAAAAACK! Time wasContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Defender @ The Patriot – 11/12/2021”

Pre-Blast – The Defender @ The Patriot – 11/12/2021

Words don’t express how excited I am that the half marathon is over. Am I glad I did it? You better believe it. But, I’m also glad that I get to get back to regularly scheduled programming which is posting around the region and Qing! Tomorrow, you’ll need a coupon and some gloves for groundworkContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Defender @ The Patriot – 11/12/2021”

Backblast – 10K / Half / Full Marathon

What started as a way to reengage a PAX that hadn’t made it out in a while, turned into a whole lot of running. The weather was anywhere from 85-90 degrees to as low as 30. We trained from the middle of July until the run on November 7. A few of us did “conditioning”ContinueContinue reading “Backblast – 10K / Half / Full Marathon”

Pre-Blast 11.10.21 – 5:30a Foundry @ The County – Kitty Litter Q

The good news is that many of us are doing the Chad 1000 @ Vets on Thursday, so this “Heavy” workout will not involve much lower-body stuff (a “recovery day” for legs). Which, of course, means that those abs, pecs, lats, delts, biceps, and whatever else sits north of the belt-line will need to feelContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 11.10.21 – 5:30a Foundry @ The County – Kitty Litter Q”

BB-11.08.21-Motivator@Abyss-KittyLitterQ

Well, we may have all showed up at the Abyss with forearms looking like praying mantises (praying manti?)…but we left looking rather Popeye-swole. The culprit, turns out, was a simple Thang: Partner Uno started a two-coupon farmer carry whilst the “left behind” partner did a series of 20 ‘Merkins + 20 Ninos Grandes (big boys),ContinueContinue reading “BB-11.08.21-Motivator@Abyss-KittyLitterQ”
