  • 369 Damn She……

    Beaver and I hit the morning with a mix of Broga and 369s Big Rig style! We knocked out 10 rounds of 369s with a run after the 5th round and another to finish strong. Beaver crushed his pull ups with some leg raised pull ups. I couldn’t manage those yet but maybe one day.

    Sending prayers for the men stepping up Friday night. Stay strong!

  • Let’s call this in!

    3 of us came out this morning moving some iron. On our adventures out we spotted two shady looking rides in the back lot with some young kids who clearly weren’t there for the ruck. So we did the responsible thing and called it in. Apparently the local cops hit snooze on their shift, and the suspects made a clean getaway. We still cranked out a 5K with some extra weight and got treated to a beautiful sunrise!

  • What a game!

    Let’s just say the boys from the Lumberyard came ready for a game of Ultimate Frisbee. Wildwood, Yukon, and Sharktooth took home the gold today. Plenty of laughs were had this morning, with some solid trash talk and even a good beat down in.

    Prayer request for the bridge today.

    Beat it took us out!

  • That’s a lot of snot dude!

    After 2 rounds of the 2 count Merkins the YHC called an audible and changed it to single count for time. Beaver kept it going and still finished with all of us. Pretty sure Yukon stuck with pull through Merkins the entire time. Wildwood was out there chasing dreams and dice rolls, putting in work before heading to the casino in Portsmouth. What a way to start the week with these men. The YHC looks forward to these workouts every week. I believe all of us are grateful for the laughs and push.

    Prayer Request for Yukon Cornelius friend that lost her husband in an accident recently.
    Yukon Cornelius took us out.

    Don’t waste the day!

    The YHC was slacking this morning. His body wasn’t having it for some reason but we all have them days. Around 0540, a dude showed up nearby with sandbags and a medicine ball and got after it. Respect. We handed him an F3 card, so fingers crossed we’ll be welcoming a new FNG soon! This Saturday is Beavers 100th Q. Come check out the country and get a beatdown in.

    YHC out

    Don’t waste the day!

  • Beasts from the east!

    3 Beasts from the east got together this morning to work on our rucking pace. We got in 3 miles at a pace of 15:30. A lot of chatter this morning about daily routines and having kids. YHC agrees that Wildwood has one of the best daily routines which includes a lot of golf. Beavers next Q will be his 100th! Without his push, discipline, and commitment, we wouldn’t even have an F3 in New Kent. He didn’t just show up he helped build something. Appreciate you!

    YHC out

    Don’t waste the day!

    Numbers, Names and Prayer Request

    Respect to these men for sticking it out, even through the cold and wet. That kind of shared struggle and encouragement is exactly what builds that strong brotherhood and mindset for growth. Iron sharpens iron! Keep pushing and lifting each other up!

    Yukon Cornelius took us out on a very nicely said prayer!


  • Solving the worlds problems one ruck at a time

    With Beaver down range Wildwood and I decided to try and beat his rucking pace this morning. We had a good shuffle going on but couldn’t quite get there but we will! We knocked out a little over 3 miles at a 16:30 pace. It was good to catch up and talk about vacations, kids and pretty much everything going on in this crazy world. We both agreed that people need to focus more on improving themselves than focusing on the flaws of others. More people need to wake up earlier and put in the work!

    Don’t waste the day.

  • Dr. Phil Session

    3 of us got together to try and figure out how the woman’s brain works. We were very unsuccessful but us men did agree with alot when it came to marriage. Our buddy Wildwood will be getting married soon so we threw in our opinions and thoughts about marriage. We are very lucky to have these woman in our lives to keep us on the straight and narrow. Knocked out 3 miles with some iron in your backs.

    Don’t waste the day!
