  • Getting Hard at Morning Wood

    A dozen hardened SOJ vets gave Rockwood the Morning Wood salute, with 9 GTE HIM’s Rucking 3.6 miles, Boberry joining Big Rig completing a pre-gloom half marathon (no big deal…), and State Farm getting swolt on the pull-up bars working on his “grip strength” …if that’s not the perfect Morning Wood joke, not sure what is… Anyway, way to get after it this morning gentlemen! SYITG, DTH

    TOMORROW: 7am Ruck kicks off at the Stone House at Forrest Hill Park, coffee after

  • HIM on a Mission

    6 early rising HIM came out to Rockwood park for pre beatdown ruck/run/hardest mile training session. Big Rig set it off and was later joined by Rosie for a run. Mudslide got in a ruck while YHC rucked for an hour and joined Chaplain for a run. Hardywood prepped for the hardest mile by getting in a run, some lung walking, bear crawling, and broad jump burpees. Morning Wood had it all this morning. Great work fellas. Looking forward to next week!

  • Who Let the Dogs Out!

    Two early risers decided to hit Rockwood Park for some early morning miles. YHC did some rucking while Big Rig did some running. While YHC was solo, Big Rig had his four legged companion with him to join in on his run. I’m sure even with 4 legs, he had a hard time keeping up with Big Rig.

  • Best of Both Worlds

    YHC decided to get an early morning start at 5am and do a little running with Big Rig. 6am hits and now its time for some Rucking with Broadway. Great way to start the morning. It was brutal but as always, great fellowship.

  • The importance of a good shoe…

    After a brief stretch and strapping on the vest, YHC noticed no other Pax would be joining for the ruck so I audibled to a run with Big Rig. Mumble chatter included our Thanksgiving holiday, football, and how critical it is to have a good, quality shoe when running or rucking. YHC learned the hard way on our 10 mile Ruck for Food. Always enjoy running and catching up with Big Rig. His fitness journey is a great motivator.

  • Keep going…till it gets too cold

    Well, after our ruck we decided a little stretching out was in order. The temps were in the 50s(which is kind of rare) we were able to go onto the courts for a nice broga workout. The idea to work everything from top to bottom(we needed to when the main workout came up) plus show a new method to get into a stretch that for some is difficult.

    A total of 15 minutes, we felt better and ready to go for what was to be the Army Physical Fitness Test

  • Ideal Conditions…

    One runner and two ruckers rose bright and early to get the juices flowing before Broga and a Ponch beatdown. Weather conditions were ideal considering the recent 30 degree temps. Big Rig got in his early morning miles. Always great to ruck with Mudslide although YHC has to work double time and can still barely keep up.

  • Divergent Paths

    The best thing about Morning Wood is that you can pretty much just do whatever you want. Big Rig got in some early miles (10 total) in typical Big Rig fashion. Florence and YHC joined for the latter portions of the run. House Party Rucked around the main road of the park. Mudslide and State Farm ventured to parts unknown. Touchdown shot baskets in the dark by himself. As is customary: a good time was had by all.

  • Back with Broga

    Last week, no broga at Rock and Roll(Posh and myself were out at Tough Mudder). This morning, a group of 5 got loose and stretched out in the parking lot(right now it’s the best spot with the light situation). The idea is to stretch out everything from head to toe, some parts won’t take long yet others just to loosen up take a little bit. We hit everything finishing with a pigeon, to 3 legged dog, to knee to elbow hold after that a wide leg stretch to close things out and get ready for the main Q. Have a good one see you next time

  • Solo Ruck

    YHC started out at about 5:40 with the goal of getting in a couple miles prior to Mudslides Broga. Rockwood had all the lights on at the fields but thought I might hit some of the trails. Thought again after seeing some animals and leaves rustling. Although though the headlamp was in full effect, YHC got a little spooked and decided to get back to the lit path. Still managed 3 miles prior to the beatdown. Sorry to miss Mudslide but he drove another vehicle that I wasn’t familiar with.
