30 minute trail run prior to Rock N Roll

  • Morning Wood

    It was 2 early birds for the Morning Wood. Glad to have the Chaplain there to run with YHC today before Gomer’s beat down. Conversation was aplenty as we discussed how to balance our lives between home life, and F3. Something we both had to work on this week.

    It was a good run on the usual trail. About 2 miles logged. We didn’t solve all the problems in the world, but I felt a lot better heading into the rest of the weekend about what is going on in my life. Just reminded me how important F3 is to me.

    Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads!

  • Flying Solo

    YHC got an early start this morning. I was eager to try out my new watch I got for my birthday. I was pretty sure my old watch was shorting me mileage and I was correct. I was having the worst time getting my pace under 10 minutes per mile and today I was right at 9 minutes per for 6.2. Took a couple laps around the park and a couple half pipe loops on Courthouse. I made my way back to the parking lot at 6 am for ruckers and 630 for runners, but I was flying solo. Put the ruck on and grabbed a 30lb dumbbell and did a lap around the park. Beautiful morning for a Birthday Que!

  • A Staggered start…

    This morning….we had just about everyone going at different times. House Party(I didn’t know was there wasn’t in the usual car) started off at 6. Next was yours truly at 610, then Chaplain and Touchdown at about the usual 630, Florence was the last to arrive(missed the 2 runners).

    As we returned back to the flag…I met up with Florence(passed and startled House Party). It had been a few weeks since I rucked but felt pretty good. Florence met up with House Party and ventured back. Chaplain and Touchdown finished off their run. We all took the rucks, rested up and got ready for Rock n Roll. Stay tuned….all I will say that it was a good one from DTH

  • Holding Down the Fort

    A PAX of one enjoyed the ideal running weather before Rock N Roll. Completed the standard paved nature trail then back to the flag. Many of the worlds problems were solved.

  • Just one rucker

    YHC took off on a solo ruck at 6:00am…Mission Complete.

  • Daylight Means Dirt Trail

    Big Rig and YHC linked up for a Ruck that took us down into the dirt trails that go by Gregory Pond since it was light enough to avoid the roots tripping hazzard. Chaplain and Rosie went for a run around parts unknown. Enjoyed catching up with Big Rig before his beatdown ??

  • Choose Your Poison

    Mudslide rucked. Florence ran. We came, we conquered.

  • Just a bunch of Maniacs

    A group 4 ruckers and 2 runners made it out to Rockwood Park for some Morning Wood. We all hit our normal paved trail and as usual, passed by the runners as they made their way through the woods. With Rugged Maniac coming up next week, we talked about what to expect like obstacles and course conditions. We also talked about ways to prepare such as getting an early jump on hydrating and making sure to eat well. Looking forward to seeing all who plan on attending next Saturday and be sure to rock some F3 gear!

    House Party

  • Humid Start to Saturday

    Good morning….2 ruckers(Big Rig and myself) got going after Big Rig came back from a pre ruck workout. I thought I was running a little late, turned out I was on time. We took off with weight on the body and the humidity in the air. We hit the usual trail with some good chatter about his brother and adventures out west this year(all the snow created much needed water which is helping but hurting a few minor things). A lot of good topics including ways to try and get better as we get older(work on flexibility and mobility which will come up later), plus we headed back to the flag to drop off the dumbbell, then did one final lap around(a touch over 3 miles today)

    The 3 runners(Chaplain, Touchdown, and Rosie) took off at their usual time and hit the trails hard. A lot of people either running or walking today(this is what happens as the weather warms up). Once Big Rig and I came around the last corner and on the home stretch, the 3 runners were closing in. We all met back at the flag, getting a little rest and waiting for the others to come for the main part

  • We Rolling Deep!

    YHC almost didn’t get out of bed this morning due to some knee soreness but I’m glad I did because I would have missed out on the party! A total of 9, that’s right, 9 HIM got up early for some morning wood before the beatdown. 7 Ruckers set out at 6am with the birthday boy leading the pack. After completing our normal loop, we kinda split up due to some guys needing to head out. That’s when Footloose and Mudslide took over and took us back into the woods. Days like today are what I really enjoy about F3. The mumblechatter with Footloose and Mudslide was great. Found out we all have a few things in common. If you need help with your resume, check with Hardywood because from what I heard, sounds like Big Rig is going to be the next CEO of his company.

    The runners hit the trails at 6:30am. Its funny how the Ruckers and the runners always seem to pass each other at about the same spot…Shout out to Chaplain (hope I spelled that right) and Touchdown for getting in those miles!
