THE SCENE: Warming trend, up 15 degrees from yesterday. Global Warming, whoops, I mean ‘Climate Change’ is for real. The back shocks got a reprieve once I unloaded the 250 lbs of sand and bags. Prince Ali stacked his bags and even Finch came with a new ruck. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Welcomed, NO Disclaimer. Crap, I don’t want…
THE SCENE: 0445 pre-action got us warmed up. Dark and cool, quiet with a few dog walkers and one guy in UT orange from head to toe wearing a headlamp by the chin up bars. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Welcomed. It’s a pleasure to know you and to be known by you (not in the biblical sense). WARM-O-RAMA: Motivators (7),…
THE SCENE: Lots of trees. I had some company pre-rucking but they preferred fartsacking in the gazebo and smoking a stogy on the bench. I should have EH’d them. What are their names? and can we help them? F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Disclaimed, welcome the FNG (forgot). WARM-O-RAMA: High knees x 10 IC, Butt kicks x 10 IC, Burpees…
THE SCENE: Still lots of cops out along Popular Ave. Kept me 5 over for the second straight G-town AO commute day. It was cold and frosty as I cruised around Riverdale school. Nothing creepy about a mini-van driving around an elementary/middle school at 0435. Passed Hobo on the road and as a formaility I asked him if he…
THE SCENE: Bismark, ND was warmer this morning. Pre-BC BC started at 0445 with some ruck work to warm us up. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Disclaimed despite the mumblechatter coming from four PAX surprised that YHC was on q. WARM-O-RAMA: Motivators x 7, Deep stretching routine THA-THANG: Sprints. 1 mile loop, 100% effort. No hanging with the 6. 30 yd sprints…
THE SCENE: 28 degrees, snowy. Long dark drive down from the north to the well to do community of Swickley, PA along the Ohio River. Not-a-sport fields and heated blockhouse restrooms greeted me. I bet the Pittsburgh HIMs were looking to do work in that festive gazebo, nope not today. Greeted by FIAB’s welcoming voice, not since October have…
THE SCENE: Warm. Vengeance got his pre-ruck miles in, nice work! No q or AO q, no problem. Beauty Shop and I took over. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Done with a dbl disclaimer as my depressed mood stemmed from the Steelers losing again. WARM-O-RAMA: Burpees x 20 IC, Daisey Pickers x 15 IC, Tempo Squats x 10 IC, Tempo…
THE SCENE: Dark, silent, and damp. I thought I’d have to do this one solo but just when I was about to begin, 3 PAX came walking up the track and I rejoiced. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Done. WARM-O-RAMA: Flutter Kicks x 21 IC 2100 m run THA-THANG: 4 Rounds for time: 10 Pull ups 22 BBSUs 15 Merkins…
THE SCENE: No snow or foxes in sight, both rare occurrences at the Barracks. The absence of the ROTC community is also of note. A pile of sandbags were already taking form as I dismounted my middle age suburban not-a-sport steed. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Standard protocol, had to coax Prince Ali away from his audio book with some…
THE SCENE: Sam Cooper never looked so empty at 0515. The Old Forest was pleasantly warm at 36. I was thankful there was no frost and the pavement felt warm under my hands. I tried not to disturb the man sleeping in the Gazebo as I scoped out the walking loop around the picnic tables. F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: …
