  • Ruck-a-ccino

    6 HIMs got out there and got after it today. It was a chilly morning and none of us had coffee, so Fandango and Warby set a good pace out the gates as we left the stop sign and made our way to Alamo. Looped around by McGruff’s house and crossed over to pay our respects to the gas station.

    Worked our way through the rolling hills by the reservoir and looped around back to the start. 3.5 miles in total.

    Conversations varied. Flyboy, a new member of the Pax, joined us with a backpack of various trinkets that included Magic The Gathering (MTG for you cool kids) cards and that got us on a tangent of Pokemon and baseball cards. We reminisced on some good workouts we’ve had of late, and we tackled the very important issue of using another man’s emoji without his consent.

    good to get after it today!

  • Kings of the Jungle….Gym

    2 Ecoff Lions skipped the fartsack and came out to claim their crowns by getting in some extra credit.

    Did the usual warmup and stretching, followed by hollow rocks, pull ups, jerkins, and dips.

    Always great to catch up with Pool Boy, especially outside of work and in the gloom.

  • Run Walk Run EC

    Beaver cast a net for a pre Bootcamp ruck this AM on Slack last night. No takers, so YHC opted for a 5K run, walk, run sesh around PFP to get the blood pumping. Switch from run to walk at every nature post on the trail. I felt really good, however the shin splint and knee is still affecting me since the Frozen Triangle.

  • TWSS aka Low Hanging Fruit

    Two pre gloom zombies got in some miles at the latest edition of the graveyard shift. Work was as follows: 2 mile warm up, 4 miles with Easter mile faster than the last, 2 mile cool down. We managed to hit those marks despite some uncharted road and unexpected uphills. TCLAPS Big Rig going strong in his training for the Roanoke Marathon!

  • 1 Sandbag & 5 Inch Inseams

    it was a warm 70 and sunny this morning as 2 HIMs adorned in shorts emerged from the gloom back to PFP feeling well rested and in higher spirits than the previous gloom.

    Warmarama!

  • Dude Wipes vs Huggies

    3 Amigos did some extra credit on the playground at Ecoff Elementary. The usual pull ups, dips, jerkins, and I think I saw Posh doing some calf raises?

    Many important topics of conversation. Left me wondering… What’s the difference between a Dude Wipe, and a baby wipe?

  • 7 Heaven

    2 Premature Accelerators took to the trails and streets in and around Rockwood Park for a nice easy 7 miler this morning. Final mile was a good push to finish strong. Great conversation with Broberry as usual. We both headed home to pick up our 2.0s for Bo and Rubble’s Co Q of RocknRoll

  • Beaver Ruck

    1 eager Beaver emerged from the dense forest of pines for an improved ruck of 3 miles. The first half mile was with 80 lbs (30lb sack/50 lb sandbag), not timed. The remaining 2.59 miles was a ruck with intermittent ruck shuffles for a pace of 14:31/mi.

  • That’s 9 Happy

    Two PAX intent on getting in some tough training met this morning for this weeks Graveyard Shift on location at Mt Midlo. After a loop around the pond we hit the hill. 9 times to the top, with a 30 second walk and a job back down each time. Final tally 4.4 miles, and between 500-600 ft of elevation change. Great work this morning. Big Rig and YHC are feeling good about our races coming up. Feel free to join where the training takes us next week. #graveyardshift on slack SYITG
