Hey Jack A$$

The request to Q any site always comes with the challenge of finding something new to make the workout unique and painful.  This week, I felt that revisiting Jack Web would make for a great adventure.  11 PAX showed up for the fun.

Well, you realize that when you volunteer to queue for Clean Slate, you better have plenty of gas.  Twenty minutes into the drive, I had to stop and pull a Rudy.  Normally this happens during a workout but not when you are prepping to run clean slate.  Fortunately, Catfish has said he will be mailing out gas cards for the drive.

Man: People Really Must Love the Back Blast

The commitment to run a workout and torture my fellow PAX is an easy decision.  The hard part is finding time in the evenings to document said event in between all the day trading and trying to keep up with the 96000 posts in the Playhouse.  I find a lot of joy in running us all around but man, after a long day of telling people what to do at work, sitting here typing up a two-day old workout is like looking at the stale donut in the box.  Is it worth it? I hope so and for those of you reading this, you are likely enjoying the diatribe of the day.

Falalalala – Dear Santa

Christmas is always a festive time of year to celebrate the birth of Jesus and try to refine ourselves to live a life worthy of the sacrifice Jesus made for us.  Each of us will be celebrating with our family and loved ones assuming the governor doesn’t shut down the state and your family is willing to take the risk.  I take the position that God challenges us to Fear Not for our faith in him.  Fear Not that I am bringing some fun and joy to a Christmas workout for my friends to prepare as Santa and be at the ready for hauling all those gifts around the world.

FU, I Wont Do What you Tell Me

For some reason of insanity or mental instability, I just enjoy coming up with a workout that makes me grimace as we crank out the reps and try not to crash and burn.  Today, for some reason, I fell in love with Cinderblocks and the number 300  just stuck in my brain and 10 PAX were kind enough to show up so I could share my thoughts with them.

What the What

Yesterday, as I sat there realizing that I had to Q Flash, hip and shoulders hurting from my self-induced whooping on Saturday, I realized that I just needed to run a bunch to avoid anything that could possibly injure myself more.  Unfortunately, 14 people decided to show up for my running extravaganza.  I am sure this was a surprise to the mere 1.8 miles we did on Saturday while lifting everything we could.  It hurt so bad that Popeye flew me the bird the next day at the pool.  So, will all warning presented upfront, we were off to the races.

Run Bread Bowl Run

I love the opportunity to lead a group of men and come up with new ways that people think my workouts are insane.  For some reason, I enjoy the grimace of are we really doing this as much as when I complain about some other crazy workout someone put together for the pax.  Finally, we were also able to keep the Pax together at the count of 17 with NC rolling back some of the safety measures across the state.  We signed off on dicks, told everyone to stay apart and away we mosied for the warmup.

Another One Bites the Dust

Tomorrow, I turn 44 years old.  Age is purely a construct to formulate tormenting workouts that ensure we try and stay younger, feel healthier and push ourselves to be the best form possible.  Today, I learned I was on Q yesterday because your memory goes with age so I was appreciative of the reminder from my elder, Re-Calc, that I had something to do in the AM.
