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.

Solo Broga this morning
This morning before we started Rock N Roll, I arrived to stretch out, get loose. It was ok to find a little light, stretch also figiure out some things i wanted to try out. I felt good after a little over 10 minutes, I was done and ready for the next part of the morning. There will be none next Saturday I will be out at Tough Mudder finishing my 2023 season

14 second run and beware TMI
YHC was eager to get started on this cool morning at Rockwood Park for another version of morning wood. It was almost as early as a Graveyard Shift. So 5 am I started the Running timer on my Garmin watch and got to steppin. Shortly after I began I glanced at my watch and it was stuck at 14 seconds. My watch had taken a sh*t. So everything I did after that did not actually happen. I may have done about 5 miles then got my ruck sack and started a lap and uh oh…. YHC had to take a sh*t. Tried the restrooms near the tennis courts. Locked. YHC thought about going into the woods, but remembered a porta potty. Thought about running, but that wasn’t going to end well. It was a very long and uncomfortable hike over to the loo, but YHC made it. And can’t tell you how glad I was to have baby wipes in the ruck sack! Finished up and made the way back to the flag to catch some of Mudslide’s Broga and took part in State Farm’s first beat down at Rock and Roll. So that was a very long story about a 14 second run.

Lots of Wood
YHC, Rosie, McGruff and Hardywood went for an early run. Lots of storm damage and downed trees on the paved trail.
We were lucky to have the two Brogi’s to tag team some stretching on the basketball court. Last Call started us out, and Mudslide wrapped up a full body routine.
It was great catching up with everyone!
