Three HIMs hit the gloom this morning and knocked out just over 3 miles. The mumblechatter was strong the whole way. Beaver’s getting back into the groove and heads into his first day back at work since the baby arrived. Dexter’s touring a new school for his little girl. YHC is grinding at work but grateful to be doing it local. Solid morning of miles and fellowship! Also waking up every dog in the neighborhood! Don’t waste the day!

Baby had YHC up for a few hours last night, It’s now 5:19 AM and my snooze is going off. I was running a solid 7 minutes late for the Iron Haul this gloom. Ran out the door, flip flops on with socks and shoes in hand. No chance for my morning deuce! These things had to wait until YHB rolled up into Pine Fork Park. Come to find out, Beaver would be solo this gloom. It was a good workout as YHC ran these little legs covering every piece of the park and neighborhood by doing a double shift…
0530 hit and I threw on some music as I started my ruck, fully expecting it to be a solo mission. Then at 0532 I spotted a familiar truck rolling in. Out of nowhere I heard a whistle behind me. I thought “That’s odd… I’m not even wearing my hoochie daddy shorts today.” I had to turn around and investigate. There he was BEAVER emerging from the darkness. We hit the trail and knocked out about 3.5 miles give or take. Most of the ruck was filled with good chatter about his new little girl him trying to balance the…
2 Iron Haulers emerged into the moon filled gloom for a ruck where we checked all three F boxes. We shared our challenges of being returning Christian’s and sharing the story of Jesus with others but to be educated in particular responses from challengers. We’ll keep this on our hearts and prayers and if anybody has any tips, we’d love to hear them. I can’t close this out without mentioning our M’s, thank God for the amazing women in our lives!
3 Gloompatriots emerged for the final Tuesday morning Iron Haul (will now be held Mondays starting next week) for an hour of good chatter and just shy of 3.5 miles traversed! We began by meandering through the Pine Fork neighborhood and back, heading east at the trailhead and through the diamonds. Cut a right towards the pull-up bars and a left around the tip. Once we made it around the whole tip we headed west at the pull-up bars through Copperhead Trail nestled behind the dog park and pickleball courts(we got pickleball!). Once we made it back to the trailhead…
Three familiar faces got together this morning for a crisp 3-mile ruck and some snake wrangling. Beaver is on baby watch could be any day now, so keep him and his M in your prayers. Commando educated us on the reality of auto insurance once the kids get on the policy. Choo Choo is still coasting through the early, easy stages of parenthood. Exciting news: we’re working on getting New Kent High School on board for a new AO on Friday mornings. They just wrapped up the new turf on the football field. It’s about 13 minutes past the Lumberyard…
2 HIM’s rucked their way around The Lumberyard on this dark and wet 70 and sunny morning. Commando is a power punch of wisdom and faith. YHC was tapping into some of his strategies for leadership in the workplace and faith through unsettling times. We are blessed to have such exemplary men right here in New Kent. Looking forward to our next discussion Commando!
2 High Impact Hunks emerged from the gloom onto Iron Haul for a run featuring many stops along the way doing 10 reps of various exercises to burn some calories. Glad to have you out this morning Commando, thanks for doing the run with me. Moleskin: The Why – it came up in conversation and it’s always great to be reminded of why we work out. There are many reason why, primarily for my family, not far from that is for my country. How do you want to pay your respects and honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice…
