Four Fantastic Floundering Fish

A wonderful rainy day for Back in Black with four Pax. I guess the other 3 did not know who was the Q, even the Site Q’s were smart enough to stay away. Start off with a brief run in rain to find some shelter from the rain. When that failed we just stopped under and over hang and did some warm ups: 10 xGood Mornings 10x Side Saddle hops [Read More]

I would have stayed in bed, but...

It was a brisk, dark, chilly morning at Flirtin’ With Disaster. One stalwart HIM, Chipper, got in a little EC run while the rest of us slowly made our way to the parking lot. Well, most of us were slow, one of us were late. Everyone loves that late guy! It’s 5:30 AM and we slow mosey out of the park across the street and into the large Lowes parking lot for: [Read More]

F3 Dads - Pierogi & Co edition

Will keep this brief as YHC wants to get back to enjoying his Saturday but had to get this down, ASAP. Thank you all for the awesome morning today. I loved it, my kids loved it and I hope all of you did as well. Boone and Rosie have been wanting to Q for months and am glad we finally did. It’s awesome to think that when we first came out, Rosie didn’t want to even say her name at COT and now she’s out there throwing down a beatdown. [Read More]

Leg Day at Back in Black

Where did this cold weather come from????? I much prefer the 47-55 degree band and look forward to getting back there! Several Pax know I somewhat regularly hit the gym after F3, and today was supposed to be leg day in the gym. My original plan was to hit F3, then go lift. Unfortunately, I’m slammed with all-day meetings and did not finish my presentation yesterday, so I need the time to do that. [Read More]

A Q-versary Murph

Last night during dinner I was explaining to my 2.0s what the workout for the next morning was going to be and why. As I read to them the heroic account of Micheal P Murphy and his ensuing death I became immediately convicted of why I called the Murph for a workout. While physically it is quite a challenge, my hope is as we endeavor to complete such a feat that we are taking a moment to remember the all the great men and women who risk their lives everyday in defense of the United States of America.

OST

My M had a hair appointment after the babies’ bedtime last night… which offered the perfect opportunity to knock out some laundry and catch up on podcasts. Last week’s call that was on the F3 Nation podcast featured Olive’s testimony. As I was listening to that, I saw Pet Sounds’ call for a Q-sub. Having navigated that course last week - and having vision cast from a recorded phone conference - I quickly saw a plan come together. [Read More]
