Happy PI day! (As in 3.14, 3/14, March 14... ok, nevermind) I keep all my Q's simple these days. I came in on two wheels, because anything outside of 1.5 miles of Baxter is downrange for me these days and I did not…

Looking like roosters at The Coop
The night prior, the kids were giddy with school closure glee. The anticipation of snow, whether it would accumulate or not, had us PAX feeling like little kids the night before Christmas. Would I be able to make it?…

A Res-Q for Birdcage, at the Coop.
Res-Q: When a Pax is down (IR, or emergency DR trip, or whatever) and another Pax meets the call for help and jumps in last minute to Q for him. Birdcage thought it would be a great idea to play soccer (futból) on…

Doing more of the things I (don't) Love
Today I figured out a cool way to make cones really light up in the dark. Just thought I'd put that up front. It's been a little while since Qing at the Coop, so this was a good time. I was a little punchy after working…

Pre-planned ImpromptQ
It was a dark and stormy morning…..actually more dark than stormy. As the PAX began to arrive, everyone was standing there with the same question in their mind – who’s on Q? After a bit of jest, the pot of “oh wait…

Do we have enough time to get to Pantheon?
YHC and Chicken Wing got a few miles in before the Main Event. As cars rolled, many were wondering who the Q was. Smiles left the faces of the PAX when YHC entered the middle of the circle and proclaimed that we had "5…

No Fear at the Coop
This is my first BB after leading F3 workouts three times so far. As an F3 beginner my greatest fear is that I would mess up cadence or my routine would not be demanding enough for the PAX. Fortunately all experienced…

Once Upon a Time....
Sit as I weave a story of pain and dismay. What better way to work out than to embrace our child hood stories of kings man, giants, and childhood fancy. Well at least that's what I thought. YHC set out on a quest to…
