BackBlast – 1/27/18 BlackOps Jefferson Memorial Forest SiltStone Training Running – Abacus Q

PAX – Little Jerry (R) and Abacus Q met at 0750 for a fun jog through Jefferson Memorial Forest along the Silt Stone and Scott’s Gap Trails. It looked like this, but the hills feel waaaayyyy steeper when you are running them. This was my first time on Scott’s Gap (see the little loop atContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – 1/27/18 BlackOps Jefferson Memorial Forest SiltStone Training Running – Abacus Q”

BackBlast – 1/24/19 #theAgony @theCounty Abacus Q

Earlier in the month YHC agreed to Q on the 24th. I expected by 1/24 work would be back to a normal pace…it has been busy and this slipped my mind. Luckily, I saw Big Bird recruiting PAX to skip the Abacus snotwoggler and meet him in a nest at the poshy confines of #theMutt.ContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – 1/24/19 #theAgony @theCounty Abacus Q”

Backblast – The Fog 1.26.2019

It never easy to follow a legend, a monthly ruck event or the day after an awards night. When I agreed to Q, I never realized the awards banquet was to be held the night before. I arrived early to ensure that I was on time, to setup my weinke and check out the areasContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Fog 1.26.2019”

The Hurt -1/26 – BB – Pepperoni 🍕

Where’d everyone go?  Wasn’t sure what attendance would be the night after the banquet, but 5 showed up to get a little better on this lovely Sat AM.  As I’m signed up for the Papa Johns 10 Miler, but don’t yet feel like going out and just running, I figured I’ll make others run withContinueContinue reading “The Hurt -1/26 – BB – Pepperoni 🍕”

Backblast- 1/24 Temple of Gloom at the – A morning of surprises

I had no idea what to expect when pulling up to the O on Thursday morning. We’d had non-stop rain all day Wednesday and then temps went well below freezing overnight, so I arrived early to survey the park for ice, knowing I’d have to change up the weinke a bit depending on what weContinueContinue reading “Backblast- 1/24 Temple of Gloom at the – A morning of surprises”

1/23 Blender @ The Mutt Back-Blast

So as I said in my Pre-Blast I picked up Blueprint’s Q so he didn’t have to Q two out of three days.  He took the bitter cold day on Monday and I took the rainy Wednesday.  The forecast was predicting rain so I planned my weinke thinking we would get wet regardless if weContinueContinue reading “1/23 Blender @ The Mutt Back-Blast”
