Tug of War
Yesterday, I was under instruction by my M to help my 2.3 (Charlie) find a book to read. We were digging through some book shelves and couldn’t find squat that a 10 year old would like. We have a boat load of ones for really young critters by Richard Scary, Dr Seuss, and of course […]
Wheel of How
So I threw out a challenge to the HKY Region last Friday at RAM. “If there are at least 5 FNGs or Kotters at my Q new week at Howitzer, I will jump in the fountain in front of City Hall.” I then went and placed this on Slack as well as the Twitterverse. PAX […]
Calling an Audible
I heard that Beaker was looking for a sub-Q and was still in need of one late Monday evening so I figured I could step up for him (Audible 1). I set my alarm to wake up and prerun…. that did not happen (Audible 2). When I walked out of my house and saw that […]
Stairs, BLIMPS, Repeat
Good Monday morning. I like kicking the week off with a strong ER workout. I haven’t been as consistent at ER lately…I need to do it every week. 0530 Warm-up: SSH x 12 IC, Beakers (ATT w/ a double-tap) x 12 IC [the PAX b*tched about how fast I was going], Humpys x 12 IC […]
Just a Little AMRAP
I have a confession… I haven’t written a Back Blast in so long I almost forgot how. I still can find my way to the AO’s to get a much needed dose of Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. There are many among us missing out on this great time due to a disease called “Fart-sacking”. GET […]
Card Games
5:30 came in hot and heavy this morning at The Mount. Gotta love this humidity. Blah, blah, blah. Enough about the weather. Warm-up: Good mornings, ATT, SSH, LAC–> RAC, then Flex led us in some iron cross leg stretches. We next moseyed to the block pile doing an Indian Run with squats. PAX at the […]
The Mystery Q is Me
Got up at the same time as usual, but drove past South Caldwell High School to pay a visit to F3 Lenoir in land of the Panthers, Hibriten High School, at Babyface’s request. A couple pax were milling around eyeing me suspiciously when I pulled up, “Are you our guest Q?” “Yes, I am,” I […]
Prison Break Block Bomb 💣
In that it was my workout that injured Babyface, YHC felt compelled to heed the call for a substi-q in his place. Arrived to the AO at 5:10 to find Bismarck and Wile E perfecting their form on Body Destroyers. Cannonball and I felt the urge to join them, but resisted, knowing that we may […]
PrisonBreak birthday surprise
Somehow, YHC was assigned a VQ on my birthday, the Pax were very excited to hear such great news. As a special treat, Swinger wore a sweet tank top to show off the guns. Snips especially was excited to plan for birthday Merkins to end the morning, which made me think of Robert Burns: […]
Post Bear-Bare Ram
This will be short and sweet….unlike the Bear that several of the PAX had run the evening before which (for most of us) was neither nor. YHC rolled into the LR parking lot Cheeze Wiz and Jordache style right at 5:30, after having been given several half hearted sc’s the night before from the Bear […]
