30 minute trail run prior to Rock N Roll
YHC came in hot this morning ready to ruck and was greeted by Chaplain and Big Rig warming up for a run. Although that’s not what I had in mind, YHC decided to audible to a run, which I’m glad I did. Mumble chatter was great and consisted of work, family, and injuries we’ve had over the years. I believe I took the award for the most injuries, Big Rig with the most gruesome, and Chaplain with the award for most likely to avoid getting injured.
House Party
YHC took of at the 6:00am mark for the pre beatdown ruck while Chaplain hit the trails for the 6:30am run. Most times the ruckers and runners would cross paths on their route and show love in passing but YHC took another route this morning and that’s probably the reason we missed each other. We’ll catch each other next time Chaplain for a high five and a “Good work!” Great work this morning Chaplain.
YHC took off at 6am for the pre-beatdown ruck around the paved trail. Mission accomplished.
YHC rucked the normal trails through Rockwood Park prior to the Florence beatdown. Enjoyed the peaceful ruck with some tunes playing but could have done without the humidity.
House Party
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!
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!
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
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.
YHC took off on a solo ruck at 6:00am…Mission Complete.
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 ??
