PAX: Carlos’e, Crash, Drysdale, Flounder, Meatball, Meter Maid, PK, Storm Trooper, Thumbtack, Worm, and SnowDay (Q).

Back-Blast – North Posh – 5/20/19

The birthdays aren’t quite as anticipated as they once were but I was looking forward to getting out ITG yesterday and starting 41 off the right way. Several months back, CI Q’d at North and incorporated the lake, about a 1/4 mile from the parking lot, into his workout. North Posh is the most uniqueContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast – North Posh – 5/20/19”

Backblast: Black Ops at The Garden at St. Patrick’s

I was texting with Huggies and Nino last night about Q’s for St. Patrick’s. The discussion led to when we should start Tuesday workouts because Thursday’s are going really well. I joked that I would Q tomorrow, which they took seriously. So at 9 PM, we sent out a Pre-blast, updated the calendar, and HuggiesContinueContinue reading “Backblast: Black Ops at The Garden at St. Patrick’s”

BB: The Max 05/18 & The Incubator 05/20 & the mystery of the lost phone.

It was a good Q break for me.. I’ve been on vacation/ out of commission for a few weeks.  I have made it a personal goal to do a little “longer” running through the week.  Many F3 workouts generally stay .5 miles or less on a stint of running.  So, the saturday Q at baysideContinueContinue reading “BB: The Max 05/18 & The Incubator 05/20 & the mystery of the lost phone.”

5/18/19: BB – Nest @ The County

It wasn’t quite an empty Nest, but numbers were down as expected. Shout out to the Pax who competed in, and/or otherwise supported the AO Olympics with your time and energy. It looked like a great event, and hopefully one that can continue. I did get 3 strong gentlemen whom I have collectively known for about 50ContinueContinue reading “5/18/19: BB – Nest @ The County”

5.16.19 The Big Kapowski @Bayside Back Blast

Those Shelby County Boys know how get after it and push each other. When Sadie asked if I’d pick up the Q this day, there was little thought I’d have to give to HC for two reasons. 1: The aforementioned and 2: It was rumored that the Ghost Flag was there. A bit about heContinueContinue reading “5.16.19 The Big Kapowski @Bayside Back Blast”

BB Major League fun at The Extender at the Mutt 5/16/19

The thing about F3 is it’s always hard.  Just when you think you’ve turned a corner, some weird back issue flares up or you lose motivation because you’re stressed or just tired.  For me, working out never get’s easier and I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to, but coming back is always the best decisionContinueContinue reading “BB Major League fun at The Extender at the Mutt 5/16/19”

5.13.19 The Silo @ N Posh Back Blast

N Posh has been ever evolving. It started as N Posh, shortly thereafter, given the name The Silo. Then due to the site Q, the appropriately named addition “Beast Mode” Mondays was given and once more changed and emerged as “Run Heavy” Monday’s. You see, it may be cliche, but change is the spice ofContinueContinue reading “5.13.19 The Silo @ N Posh Back Blast”

BB 5/16/19 Agony @ The County – Cowboy

What a great, crisp morning for a Hoedown Throwdown at the County with Cowboy.  It was a nice, cool 51 degrees and just perfect for some pain in the gloom.  One of the F3 goals is to create leaders.  I wanted to give each PAX an opportunity to lead a small portion of the hoedownContinueContinue reading “BB 5/16/19 Agony @ The County – Cowboy”
