2 HIMs took on the dark, misty gloom with iron packed on their backs. Here’s what went down.

• Ruck to the bleachers
• March up and down all 6 bleachers / 10 squats after each set / 3 sets
• March up and down of all bleachers / 10 Bulgarian split squats / 3 sets
• Ruck around Snack Shack / 10 Incline Merkins at tables / 3 sets
• Ruck Around Snack Shack / 10 bench step ups / 3 sets
• Return to vehicles. Final stretch – lunge from speed bump to cars.

Great working out with you Choo Choo!
Everyone have a great day and great recovery!

No Ruck at Iron Haul this AM, instead these 3 gloom raiders agreed to lift some iron & sand.

Stretch OYO

Mosey to the ODG for 5 sets of 3/6/9’s and mosey back to the W octagon.

3 Stations set up – 75 lb sandbag = 12 Bent over rows / 53 lb KB = 12 2 Arm Curls / 2 KB’s = 12 Overhead press. 3 sets per station. Rotated to next station after 3 sets.

Round 2 – 75 lb sandbag = 12 cardio Merkins / 53 lb KB = 12 2 Arm Curl / 40 lb KB = 12 Shoulder to Shoulder. After one set rotate to next station, do this 3 revolutions.

Two HIMs resisted the temptation to sleep in and came out for a 3.5-mile ruck. Along the way they stumbled upon some mysterious crop circles etched into the soccer fields. Great chatter about launching new businesses and kids sports.

Don’t Waste The Day!

Three of us hit the trail this morning for a ruck with some weight on our backs. We knocked out 2.5 miles and threw in 10 rounds of burnies at the biggest hill Pinefork Park has to offer. Plenty of talk about getting our boats on the water. hopefully at least one of us has a boat that floats and maybe even runs in the next few weeks!

It’s Dry July boys! Step out of that comfort zone and give up something that usually gives you ease. Growth starts where comfort ends. Let’s get after it!

Three of us came out to sweat it out with weight on our backs. We knocked out just under 3 miles. Cap Gains picked up a used pontoon boat and is fixing her up piece by piece. Beaver’s toughing it out without AC at home for the moment. Meanwhile, Choo Choo’s scheming on how to make his move to Manteo, North Carolina permanent, dreaming of a life filled with workouts and fishing.

Don’t Waste The Day!

6 HIMs emerged from the misty gloom to move some iron throughout the PFP trail and neighborhood. We also brought along the ol kettlebell to pass around in case anyone wanted a bit more of a challenge. We logged roughly 2.75 mi within the 45 minute time frame.

Numbers(6) & Namarama!

Announcements – Fathers Day morning fun workout with the 2.0’s at The Forge 7 AM this Sunday! See recent newkent post for the address.

YHC closed us out in prayer.

Two HIMs grabbed their sack and knocked out 3 miles this morning with some weight on our backs. To spice things up we did a mile carrying a random stone. Had some good chatter about Wonka’s upcoming family camping adventure with both sides of the family. He’s also driving over 30 minutes each way for these workouts. I think he’s gonna be our connection to the Hampton roads for F3!

Don’t Waste The Day!

2 Early Eagles emerged from the gloom onto the trails of Pine Fork Park for an Iron Haul blender. Ruck distance was shorter than usual, finishing with 2.77 mi. due to stoppage for some exercises and YHC’s inevitable pit stop.
It’s good to get back on schedule after the long weekend and have Choo Choo back after his MDW travels.

Ruck included the following exercises:

• Rifle Carry
• 20 Ruck Merkins
• 2 Arm Curls
• 30 Bleacher Step Ups
• Ruck Shuffle
• Pull-ups and bar hang
• Single Arm Curls or Suitcase Carry
• Finish Line Single Arm Rows

Got our usual 3 miles in on our ruck today. Wonka is our bird expert of the PAX and he confirmed what we thought was an owl was indeed just a stump. Glad we have these kinds of experts in our gang.

Two of us braved the wet trails this morning to sink or swim. We knocked out 3.5 miles with weight on our backs. Why make life easy? Spent the time solving all of life’s mysteries parenting, self-discipline, hiking strategies, and of course how women are obviously the superior species. Shoutout to Friday for showing up! Turns out we both enjoy suffering in nature.

Don’t waste the day!
