We had the pleasure of having Patrick(FNG) out this morning. He’s from Cleveland but graduated from Virginia Tech. He’s done a couple of Ironmans and he’s a big time runner. I believe he told me he runs average 7s which is pretty impressive. He works at capital one and does something with banking. We all threw out a few names and decided on Subprime. He’s going to be a great motivator for this group!!!!!

You don’t have to be 100% ready, but you have to be 100% willing. Matt Johnson- He just finished a 850 mile run across Texas for veterans.

Beaver took us out!!!!

Started the morning out with some stretching and star gazing. Both of us were dressed and ready for a blizzard white out conditions if it was to happen. Choo Choo added some weight to his sack to bring it up to 40 pounds to make it a little more enjoyable. Beaver set the pace and on we went…….

Great time this morning with these guys I definitely had the Qing power running through my veins. We had a handful of FNGs not show up but our boy Yukon always comes through on showing up! Beaver is getting to believe that Yukon and I just have a lot of imaginary friends. It was a special morning for myself because I had my 2.0 with me. She told a few stories and with the help of the guys we decided on Sugar Rush, she couldn’t be happier with her name. Also something to think about…..

“If a man doesn’t have a deep sense of purpose they will distract there selves with pleasure”—-Viktor Frankl

Numbers, Names and Toll booth took us out!!

I thought it was gonna be a solo ruck this morning cause Beaver is DR for work. Then at 5:29 the greatest prospector of the north came rolling in! Shortly after him Tollbooth made an appearance for his first voluntary ruck.

Knocked out a 3.1 ruck at about a 3.5 mph pace! A lot of chatter with these guys. You never know what’s gonna be brought up. We started talking about Kiefer’s milk and somehow ended up talking about sexual relations with a camel. Yukon has got some stories to tell.

Tollbooth took us out! Be grateful for every day!

First day of sober October so let’s get it!!!!

prayers for everyone that has been affected by this last hurricane. A lot of people are hurting all over. Try and make someone smile today!

Still a little sore from the beat down that was given to me Saturday, so I decided to do a ruck this morning. I had a feeling I was gonna be greeted by half of the community of New Kent county this morning. Well I was completely wrong for thinking that. It was a solo mission on a 3 mile ruck and ended with some stretching. Very thankful to have the ability to get up and do this time after time. Don’t take anything for granted!!!!
