#Badgemire
I thought it would be special for us to have a little taste of Badger in our DRP this morning, so I brought a Hero Workout to Quagmire (now, just to raise Jedi's ire, we will call it Badgemire)... We yogged a moment…

Constantly Moving Through The Swamp
It is always a pleasure to get the "call" to the lead the PAX and this opportunity didn't disappoint. The Swamp is my "home" Friday AO so I was well aware of all the nooks and crannies it had to offer. After a…

Santa's Trip Around The World
It was a cold one at the Abyss on Wednesday. Sub-freezing temps at COT as everyone slowly made it out of their warm vehicles before starting. Nice-long mosey to get the blood flowing and the body warm... again…

Dura-freakin-bility
Great morning in TC- 12 men farted outside of the sack.- wait. Unsacked the fart...wait. Got out of bed in 26 degrees to take the DRP and get better. It was old school good old times. Had the stairs in mind today but…

The Coop: Beat the temperature day and we did it! #25
It was a cool morning and when I say cool I mean Fonzie cool. PAX came in from all directions and we had met the temperature of 25 degrees. I was proud that the men did not stay in the fartsack where it was easy....but…

How heavy is a Bonsai tree?
As I was preparing for the Q at Fire Ant I was excited and had everything planned out. However apparently the one thing I didn't plan for was my inability to set the alarm for the correct time. I woke up at 4:55 and…

Too cold for a TOGA at Block Party
There was quite the bite in the air on this Fall morning. A little different than the balmy 55-degree weather the day before. PAX rolled in and everyone looked very excited to get rolling. Quick disclaimer for the Vets…

No stinkin' rain at The Armory!
Having been in a Thanksgiving hangover after spending most of it on the road, the commitment I had made to Q the Armory on Monday was not even a thought. That is until, I got the DM from JWOW at 2pm on Sunday…

Be prepared at the Bermuda Triangle!
Having the Q the day after Thanksgiving can be tough. But it's also the best way to hold yourself accountable. When Homebrew reached out to me with the offer to Q this day I knew I had to accept. I'd do anything to help…

Smackdown at the Crows Nest "Clover Middle School Wrestling Style"
I had originally had a Weinke prepared for the workout but changed it up after spending some time at my son's (F3 - Hound) Middle School Wrestling practices. Today's temps were in the 40's so the brave ones wore shorts…

Honoring Three The Honey Badger Way
Monday's are great days for The Fort. There are a lot of great ways to start off your work week. The Honey Badger is an exception. I love what is being done there in honoring a fallen hero. If you have never been…

Keeping Warm at The Yard
It was a rather cold morning as the PAX gathered. I was a little worried the cold temps would keep the numbers down but 8 other PAX (plus 2 shorties that might or might not had a choice) showed up ready to work. So…

Cold Blooded at the Swamp
So it was the coldest day of November (so far) but at least there was no rain. A balmy 33 degrees to start the workout. My goal was to keep the energy level high to keep the blood flowing! Only 3 of the 15 men planned…

Burpees at Slow Burn
It was a dark and cold Thursday night. I was about to retire to my study when Steve Jobs spoke to me. Well, one of his inventions did. It was Destiny reaching out. He was getting a Unicorn Tramp Stamp tattoo either…

Always a burpee mile at Pantheon
Not too much creativity was brought to Pantheon on this comfortable, non-raining day. Arrived and set out 4 marker softballs around the larger running loop. YHC started with a message about serving and talked about the…

Working Hard @ Crow's Nest
Of course this is way late and will be abridged but it is my duty to put together a backblast and I'm not going to slouch. #LeadByExample We started off with a disclaimer (had an FNG) and some light stretching... don't…

LBC's Galore at The Armory
One could assume that, being a Site Q, I would know the importance of posting a Backblast in a timely manner. I have failed yet again. 9 days later... 8 guys met at Forest Hill Church to start the party at The Armory…

Can we just get along?
Life is not always how we thought nor visioned it would be. There are a lot of personal experiences YHC could pull from, but as I reflect back to our COT, who would have thought that we would have another mass shooting…

Pantheon 2018.45
I've been doing breathing exercises for awhile now, but I didn't consider it an activity worthy to include at an F3 workout. Then Santini did it, so now I had to do it better. Warmup, nothing new here, go read a dozen…

Smashing Taboo on this Election Tuesday
Today 11 men joined together in the unseasonably warm but wet aftermath of a heavy rain that preceded us. Plenty of puddles to step in but lots of good fellowship to counteract the wet. My apologies to Long Shanks for…
