1.2.21 BB-The Nest at The County-BigBird Q

I love the prospect of a new year. All the potential and possibilities. The ability to leave one year behind and start over fresh to work on the best possible version of oneself. 2020 was an interesting year. Just like you, I could have a lot to complain about. But also just like you, IContinueContinue reading “1.2.21 BB-The Nest at The County-BigBird Q”

Pre-Blast 12-28-20: Sadie Q – Incubator @ South Posh

Until Stick Up sent me a message a few hours ago, I completely forgot I was on Q tomorrow.

BB- 12/5/20 Meter Birthday Q at the Nest

Today was a celebration of my birthday and a return to the Nest. It was a cold foggy day.

BB- The Escalator 11/11/20 – Meter Maid Q

I was glad to obtain a Veteran’s Day Q for 11/11. When I had gotten it, I didn’t have any lower back issues. Fast forward and I had tweaked my lower back a few weeks ago and it had impacted my recent ability to post. My heart goes out to all those dealing with ailmentsContinueContinue reading “BB- The Escalator 11/11/20 – Meter Maid Q”

BB 11-6-2020 – Uncle Rico – The Baptizer at The Garden

What better way to start your Friday than a Bodies by Rico Q. As my coach in 1982 told me it’s not the type of car you drive but the size of the arm that hangs out. So with that in mind it was time for curls for the girls and tri’s for the guys.ContinueContinue reading “BB 11-6-2020 – Uncle Rico – The Baptizer at The Garden”

BB- The Fog 10/17/20 – Meter Maid Q

Going into GrowRuck, I really wasn’t sure how my body would feel so I held off any near term Qs. When I saw the opportunity to Q the Fog, I jumped on it.

BB- 9/24/20 Inferno @ The Station – Meter Maid Q

Captain Crunchberries reached out a few weeks ago looking for a Q and I was glad to oblige. You may have noticed but it hasn’t rained the last few weeks.
