Dos Hermanos traveled to new ground outside of Rockwood Park. Ran across Courthouse Rd, took a left, ran down to Tommy’s Car Wash, took a right then ran down to Allen Tire. Turned around, ran in back of 2 churches then crossed Courthouse Rd again and BTTF. Many security cameras and flood lights were activated during this run. You may see us make the evening news as potential burglars to keep an eye out. Mumble chatter was strong including talk of our families, F3, Cardinal, football, rucking, and more. Always good to catch up with my brother House Party. Announcement : Starting 1/28 Morning Wood will also offer a Rucking option that launches at 6 am. Doublemint and YHC are looking to train more often with Rucking. House Party will lead the usual Pre-Run at Morning Wood at 6:30 am and is your go-to contact for that. SYITG!

What Lies Behind The Nature Center?
5 of us ran around the confines of Rockwood Park before Mudslide’s VQ. Chaplain showed up late but eventually found the rest of us. YHC took us down a new trail that starts behind the Nature Center building then cuts through the middle of the Trail Loop. Took a left when we connected to the main Trail Loop then circled BTTF and ran a couple more laps around the parking lot. Big numbers for Morning Wood today!

New Route
YHC had a new route in mind today. We ran outside the park and across Courthouse Rd to the nearby neighborhood. Ran randomly around any road we could find including an apartment complex and a car wash. Then Chaplain had the idea to cross Courthouse Road again and go behind the plaza next to Rockwood Park. Came out to Hull Street, took the side entrance back into Rockwood Park then BTTF. Great mumble chatter to top it off.

“Hard Commits” only
A whopping 4 showed up for the Pre Run at Rockwood. This is lovingly known as Morning Wood where we only take “Hard Commits”. We showed our friendly traveler Hardywood the 2+ mile trail loop run before his epic beatdown.

Truck Talkin’
Big Rig and I hit the streets early on Saturday morning. Missed the memo that Rock N Roll was going to be “leg day.” Enjoyed catching up and getting some miles in.

Calorie Burn
Your Bloated Correspondent hit the streets early on this chilly morning. Ending up doing an out and back route through the trails of Rockwood Park. Saw an awesome sunrise over the lake! A good time was had by all.

Safety be Damned
YHC donned the traditional black F3 attire, left my headlamp sitting at home, and ventured out into the streets/trails of Rockwood Park. Completed our normal paved trail run through the backwoods…..I did pick up the pace a bit when in the vicinity of the cannibal compound. Big Rig had just finished a 5 mile run and was heading to work as I arrived. A fist bump and some encouraging words earned him a coveted big data point. As usual, a good time was had by all.

Laps on Laps on Laps
3 Amigos ran copious amounts of laps around Rockwood Park before the Q. Big Rig had the horrible idea of running 5 miles before his own VQ. Can’t say anyone will ever repeat that. He and YHC covered 5 miles launching at 5:55 am. House Party launched at the usual 6:30 am time and got in 2 miles. Prayers for TryHard and Chaplain’s families who are dealing with the flu tearing through their house.

Dragon Ball Wood
Two Saiyans ran down Snake Road to begin their Kaio-Ken training at King Kai’s. New power level was unlocked. Covered 2.5 miles before Doozy’s recurring leg/ab beatdown. Safe travels to House Party and Big Rig. Good luck to Mudslide doing Spartan.

The Loneliest Chaplain
With no PAX in sight, YHC jogged solo through the nether regions of Rockwood Park. Completed our normal paved woods loop while meticulously planning the Rock N Roll workout. True to form – a good time was had by all.
