  • 10,000 steps a day

    Three dudes and a dog posted to Raider Run/Ruck today. Once again, YHC gladly walked with the ruckers and dog since no other runners posted. They walked to the end of the Atlee High School Road, did a U-turn in Honey Meadows, and walked back to the school for just over 6,000 steps.

    Great conversation today. Much of it discussed step counts per day, walking a walk vs. riding in a golf cart, and the importance of steps. YHC told a story that when his oldest was 1, he saw a man who looked 60 plus body surfing with who appeared to be his 10 year old grandchild. That man never saw me looking at him, but he was such an inspiration to me today. I hope I can be physically able to be active with my future grandchildren many years from now.

  • Journey to Giles

    Four runners and three ruckers met up this morning on this perfect Tuesday at Atlee High School for some general exercise.

    The Routes

    The Runners ran into Giles and then entered Craney Island Estates with a distance close to 4 miles. They mostly did a 4-1 run.

    The Ruckers also toured Giles and went an amazing 2.5 miles. Well done Ruckers!!

  • Marco Polo Sighting

    Two ruckers and a runner converged at approximately 5:30 AM at Atlee High School for some exercise. Since YHC was the lone runner, he walked for the first 15 minutes with the ruckers. With today being the primary election day, much of the conversation had a political spin. At 5:45, the runner ran the farmhouse loop and back to the AO. The ruckers walked somewhere and then reappeared at the VSF at 6:15.

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Annoucements, Yard Sale took us out.

    It has now been 2 straight weeks that YHC was the lone runner at the Raider Run. I hope the runners return soon. It was still great being able to have conversation with Yard Sale and Thunder before running. It rained right before 5:30, so possibly that kept a few away this morning. Marco Polo was spotted with the Marathon Training Team coaches running a normal route through Atlee High School at about 6:10 AM. See you again next Tuesday at 6:10 AM Marco Polo.

  • Fear Factor

    Three dudes on this perfect Tuesday morning showed up at the parking lot of Atlee High School to Ruck or Run. YHC had planned on running this morning, but started walking with the ruckers and continued doing this for the next 45 minutes.

    The Route: Loop around Atlee High School, into Giles, then back to the VSF.

    Although YHC rarely walks in the morning, this was enjoyable. YHC got some exercise while having great conversations. CB first explained to Yardsale and YHC how Joe Rogan went from the host of Fear Factor to being the #1 podcaster of today. Next time, we may discuss how he ended up hosting Fear Factor as I seem to remember knowing him prior to that show.

    Announcements: DaPile has been selected as a Summer Tour location for Saturday. Let’s have great numbers.

  • Thunder at Raider Ruck

    YHC was excited that we finally have a Giles Resident attending DaPile last Saturday and returned today for a Ruck Walk. We had 4 today and no runners for this cool morning with a Red Sun rising, a great site on our return to Atlee High School from Giles! Simple Giles loop route and totaled 2.4 miles.

    Welcome Thunder to your second workout and look forward to seeing you in the gloom.

    Cheers….CB!

  • Joe Rogan and Rain

    YHC was awake at 5:05am to take on the ruck workout for this am, pouring rain. Checked the radar and looked promising at 5:30am for a ruck journey.

    Load up in the car arrived at the parking lot, rain stopped, was able to load up and outfit myself then placed rain jacket over all gear for a semi dry effort…sweating was a plus. With no-one else posting I decided to do the Giles loop. Wore the headlamp to the bottom of the hill and return through the wooded trail and it was bright enough that no headlamp was needed.

    As I was solo, I had a Joe Rogan Podcast on and it was Awesome to have this accompany me on my walk and my thoughts for the day. I was able to return to the car, get everything packed back in the trunk and the rain returned. Blessed morning and appreciate the spring and all that is offered at this time of year.

    Have a great day gents and hope to see you all in the gloom soon. Cheers….CB!

  • School Loop

    1 rucker and 1 walker posted and did the Atlee HS loop plus some parking lot loops.

  • The Flashing Ruckers

    Not that type of Flash. It was 5 legends on a rainy Tuesday [ 3 ruckers and 2 runners]. Apparently the Ruckers rucked so fast today that even though they were on the same street as us, they ninja flipped and disappeared so fast that we never saw them. Just like the Flash. That’s how serious these dude are.

    The rain held off just long enough, a nice cardio day for us all.


    The Bridge is Saturday April 26th – ask Corned Beef

    The Flash bye bye
