Lame Duck travels to Devil’s Rope. Details below.
Phlegm famously accidentally called Diablo Rojo the Devil’s Rope once. It’s stuck with me ever since then. Much to my surprise, Devil’s Rope is an actual term. More commonly called Barbed Wire. In fact, there’s a Barbed Wire Museum located in McLean TX, along Route 66. Their website tells us that they have Everything you […]
Porticos in the Gloom
YHC wasn’t sure how rainy the morning would be, so taking advantage of the Steeple’s two porticos was on the weinke. Four PAX ready under the first portico at 5:30, so we start the warm-up in cadence: 15 SSH’s 15 LAC’s 15 RAC’s 15 High Knees It’s the 15th, so that’s our rep count for […]
You guys alright?
Pulled up to HHS(that’s Hibriten high, not Hickory high for all you across the bridge readers) on a very dreary morning. Light rain and about 33 degrees…perfect for a F3 workout. I saw Friar’s truck but no one else. Then in rolls Bismark and soon after…..a deputy Sheriff??? Apparently there was a report of people […]
RIP Dad 1951-2021
We had a guest appearance from 3-Dog and my cousin from the great state of Michigan, pencil lead. So earlier this week I was talking with Pedro and told him that I had an idea for a Q and asked if I could have this Saturday. His reply was let’s see what you got. So […]
The Charlie Babyface Griffin Honorary Fun Run In Tanglewood For A Cure For Something
Well, well, well, the Friar has returned to the backblast game. It’s been a while, but I believe I can whip up a little something, something so the pax can have some “throne time” reading. So here’s what happened to the best of my memory. Don’t believe me? Well, you shoulda got your sorry fart-sacking […]

144 Call – Pent Up Energy
So, Wednesday evening had some pent up energy that had to be burned (didn’t get the evening run in) sooner than later so with the PB being open for Q thought I’d volunteer for this great opportunity. Twin confirmed and sent out the call for 144….for those at the group Q Tuesday this is what […]
Merkin Jacks, no Spider Monkeys, no Flying Squirrels
4 brave souls decided to venture out on this foggy, somewhat humid (early reminder for summer), and moist morning. Other than being damp, the weather was nice with temps in the upper 40’s. YHC rolled in just before 5:30 to see the other 3 PAX eagerly awaiting the beatdown. The Warmup (all in cadence): SSH […]
Improv Q
YHC made a plan last night that included use of certain publicly-available exercise equipment, but this morning proved too wet to safely engage said equipment. No Pull-up Burpees today. Improv time! Three PAX ready for the warm-up, so in cadence we do 20 Side-straddle Hops 10 Humpies 10 LAC’s 10 RAC’s 10 Monkey Humpers ACT […]
