5 strong PAX turned out for Abacus Q for this fantastic soon to be AO (if it’s not on the short list, someone needs a checkup from the neckup). YHC arrived about 10 minutes early to check out the lay of the land and work out the logistics of the Q. A quick lap aroundContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – PeggyBaker BlackOps 1/7/2020 Abacus Q”

Backblast -Pelican Q The Max @ Bayside 1.10.20

F3 Louisville is #RyleighStrong

Last week in the Gloom I was struck by the story of a young girl who was struggling. A fellow HIM shared with the group about Tony Malito’s niece, Ryleigh, who has been in the hospital since December 24. She was first admitted for the Flu but was later diagnosed with pneumonia and was transferredContinueContinue reading “F3 Louisville is #RyleighStrong”

Back-Blast Friday 01/10/20 – Pleasantville Ring of Lights Elevens with Coach Dauber

While it was not quite sunny and 75 degrees as promised in the pre-blast, it was an unseasonably warm mid-50s and the expected rain never hit.  The weather was literally perfect…you can try to convince me that there is not a magical bubble around Pleasantville, but it will be a futile attempt.  I am notContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Friday 01/10/20 – Pleasantville Ring of Lights Elevens with Coach Dauber”

Back-Blast – The Extender at The Mutt – 1.9.20

According to Glen Ross, today’s workout was a high 7. Initially, I thought to myself, “what a low score!”. However, after clarification from several Mutt veterans, I was assured that a high 7 was respectable and that meant Glen Ross was happy with how it went. Knowing that I passed the “test” I enjoyed theContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast – The Extender at The Mutt – 1.9.20”

Back Blast – Tank @ Vets – 01/08/2020

I love making my way down I-265 southbound to visit the PAX at Vets. PK, the Tank Site Q, was instrumental in head locking me out of the fart sack some time ago – and I haven’t looked back yet.  The Vets AO and PAX definitely have something special.  Not sure what it is, butContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Tank @ Vets – 01/08/2020”
