  • Recovery Time

    Three Eastenders gathered for, not a run or a ruck, but a walk . It’s about all that we can currently do. Choo Choo is out with the flu, Yukon has some abdominal pain creeping back, Wildwood and YHC are fighting what they call “runners knee”. We got a slow 3 miles in today, but still great to get together with the guys and mumble chatter.
    Thanks for joining men!

  • Legs Looking Pasty!

    3 pasty white dudes could be seen coming from miles away out of the gloom! With tanks and shorts riding high (well just the shorts, the tank was an appropriate length. No belly buttons showing out here) the lights on the park reflected off our pasty legs and into the windows of the neighborhood! Choo Choo will bring the tanning lotion next time!

  • Two orgasm laps

    2 PAX in search of a few extra miles met a few minutes early. This was last weeks iteration of the Graveyard Shift. Route was out to Clover Hill HS, across Genito down behind the Food Lion to Brandermill. Past YHC’s humble abode, down to the path all the way to the water. Then we took Brandermill Parkway back to SCMS. We weren’t quite to 6miles so we took a brisk lap around the track. Then not quite a 10k so we took a lap around the parking lot. Good to get out and get some miles and regale Big Rig with tales of YHCs 35k trail race. Thankful for big rig and the support this awesome group of dudes. Also, the title of the backblast is in the exicon I promise.

  • Hilly Tarrington Training Ruck

    While some were waiting to see if Phil saw his shadow, 8 of us were out taking on the hills of Tarrington and surrounding neighborhoods. All and all we clocked in 7 miles, more than ready for the flat 10 of the Iron Triangle! Below did some early dock Merkins on the James.

  • FNG OTB?


    Choo Choo sends out a potential FNG alert 10 minutes prior to workout! Here we go! Turns out it seemed more like a work related drop off or some sketchy activity as he dropped off a bag at the snack shack, he was out of there within minutes and it was too far for us to really see what was going on. Anyway, 4 HIM’s emerged from the darkness to get in on some asphalt and iron action!

  • goodness gracious great balls of

    YHC found out the hard way Choo Choo is a true ginger as we were getting our stretches on this morning. Kidding! I’m glad to keep that vision out of my mind!

    4 dark strangers gathered at the park of the Pines for a ruck around the neighborhood on this windy gloom. We encountered activities such as neighbors leaving their driveways at the same time as if we were in the Truman Show as well as being stalked by some character in a pick up trying to play it cool as if he wasn’t following us around.

    Thanks for the ruck guys!
