Three intrepid ruckers explored the beauty of Larus Park. It feels like spring is in the air and time in the woods is what the soul needs.
Next weekend we will not have our normally scheduled Sunday ruck option. Instead, consider the Frozen Triangle ruck option on Saturday.
8 Ruckers and a canine fast paced it on the roads to preserve the trails. Roscoe enjoyed himself chasing flocks of geese away and clearing our path forward.
16 of the area’s finest runners tackled any impediment in their way, including obstacles on the 5 miler route.
Great conversation as always.

Two ruckers launched at 0700 and not only covered the miles, but deep conversation. Coffee afterwards at a local shop was awesome.
With this crew it never feels cold outside when together as a team.
A lucky seven reluctantly left the warmth of their cars to begin the workout. Ultra brief mosey across the parking lot for COP. Once sufficient blood was flowing, we lined up on the edge of the parking lot.
Working down the line…..
Pax member lunges across the parking lot and back. Upon returning, everyone does elbow planks. While that person is lunging, the other Pax are cycling through 10 HRM, 20 Heels to Heaven, 30 squats – repeating this cycle over and over..
Once everyone has had a chance to lunge, a second round followed. This time, the Pax member broad jump burpees over and moseys back and the group recovers with a sustained bridge. While the Pax member is broad jump burbeeing over, the rest do 15 dips, 30 Monkey Humpers, 45 LBCs – repeating this cycle.
Third cycle – Bear crawl across and mosey back. 20 Dying Cockroaches, 40 Carolina Drydocks, and 60 Flutter Kicks – repeating this cycle.
Off to the other side of the parking lot for a ring of fire.

Coffee was fun as always and great to connect with Splinter and Hutton.
A great eight embarked predawn on the North Bank trails. Early birds not only get the worm, but the trail to themselves. Peace, tranquility, and an epic city skyline at the turnaround.
Negative splits for the return trip as we covered over 4.3 miles in 80 minutes.
Doozy took us out.
Coffee was excellent afterwards and it was great to see Gypsy and Homer back from their run.

….and they cannot lie.
A glorious 17 beat the weather for some of the Spider Run’s best miles. Take the bat cave and across the bridge to head upstream. 4s turn at Butte and return. 5s take a left on Waumsetta, a left on Old Spring, and a left on Butte to return. 6s continue to Hickory, a left on Cherokee, a left on Waumsetta, a right on Old Spring, and a left on Butte to return.

An intrepid nine met at the old stone house and embarked on a fine urban park hike. Conversation was aplenty, trails were slick, hills were welcomed. Roscoe chased after many squirrels and came so close.
70 minutes and a little over 3.6 miles.
YHC took us out.
Coffee was good and the conversation got to the heart of matters. Thanks for sharing this early morning with me.
Seven on foot and two on wheels leaned into the colder temps and hit some crisp road miles. Today’s route had some west on Grove, a little Patterson, Bromley was prominent in the route and a dip into Windsor Farms. Something for everyone.
