12.20.18 The Zoo V-CountyQ B.B.

There I was one mid October afternoon, scanning GQ’s Fall Fashion page, when a Slack message from Airplane pops up. So I said to myself, “self-let’s see what ole airplanes is up to.” Bad idea. Not as bad an idea as the leopard pants I was staring at….but…yeah. bad idea. Or so I thought. Hmm.ContinueContinue reading “12.20.18 The Zoo V-CountyQ B.B.”

Back Blast – Vincent Q @ the Tank 12/19

This was my first Q at Veterans since the new section of the park opened.  Seeing the row of illuminated flags, still standing at half mast, is a beautiful and humbling sight!  If you have not posted there, put it on your list and get there soon.  It is worth the drive.  And the PAXContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Vincent Q @ the Tank 12/19”

Preblast – 12/22 Grinder Q, The Hurt @ The Mutt

Who in the world would offer to Q the morning after a ruck? Well, where I’m from, we call that a Backdraft (❤️ U, Nick), and YHC was the only one dumb enough to go for it. So, in honor of my dumb decision, I’m planning a bunch of dumb stuff for us to doContinueContinue reading “Preblast – 12/22 Grinder Q, The Hurt @ The Mutt”

Back Blast The Blender 12/19/18 Zima Q

In my first year of F3, I haven’t lost any weight (that’s on me), my mile time is probably the same and I still struggle with 20+ merkins at a time, but F3 has had a profound effect in my life way beyond the Gloom.  I’ve been in and out of gyms and various bootContinueContinue reading “Back Blast The Blender 12/19/18 Zima Q”

1 Year Later: The Bridge PreBlast 12.19.18

https://youtu.be/2wkKh1q3W8A To some being a part of F3 for a year isn’t a big deal, but for others it is. The reasoning is different for each individual PAX…1stF? 2rdF? 3ndF? For me, I am the latter & it’s due to all three of these components. A year ago a dear friend convinced me to takeContinueContinue reading “1 Year Later: The Bridge PreBlast 12.19.18”
