1st Quarter Check-in at Footloose - Are You Accelerating or Going Backwards?

Soggy Bells
7 PAX showed up for another soggy outing and I have to admit I was a little nervous to lead my 1st kettlebell workout. Sure I've been to a few, but this was my first time leading one so it was difficult estimate the…

Nothing but Poopdeck
I have been skipping Thursday's of late because I almost always work from home that day and have been choosing to sleep in a bit and go for a run as a change of pace so it was nice to come back here. I believe the…

Dogs Pissing on Black Friday
After a Q swap followed by a BEYOND takeover, YHC was due to actually Q at the Swamp in November. When the Black Friday slot came available, I jumped on the opportunity and started to put together some bad ideas. The…

Steal the flag, pop the balloon
It started with bacon. Well, really it started with Cha Ching’s Q last week, where fifth grade games were the theme of the day. In planning the weinke for today, YHC decided to stick with this theme, and the first game…

Hopping, crawling, sneaking, and pushing at Laces In
Truth be told, YHC did not consult his work calendar when Lil E asked him to Q Laces In, and he probably would have turned it down had he thought about it. Once committed, there was no excuse to pass it off. Plus, it’s…
