A platoon of seven HIM’s buried the hatchet into a 3 mile ruck where we explored Bon Iron, went off road, walked the railroad tracks a ways, jumped off tracks and onto a surprise trail, then off trail and over creeks, up hill and down dale, and once back on the roads of Bon Air, we concluded with a neighborhood loop. Our beloved 60 pound sandbag was shared around during the ruck, but the real highlight was coffeerama afterwards discussing the first chapter of Atomic Habits at Einstein Bagels. So let’s go ahead and throw out every idea of setting…

Excellent cool weather for the latest edition of Morning Wood. House Party and I hit the streets with our ruck sacks at 6am and got in some miles. Big Rig was already running upon arrival and ventured down to the Genito Road Corridor. He joined us for the last 15 minutes or so. Post-workout survey suggested that a good time was had by all.
One intrepid warrior of The Gloom threw off the pull of the Fart Sack (and last night’s tequila old fashioneds) to hit the mean (ok, the office park) streets of Plantation. Temps were 75 and sunny. According to the restaurant worker (lady) who came out of the office building at 5:20 a.m. to see YHC unexpectedly 15 feet away, the following might have happened: 2 loops around the lake, using various routes / paths / etc. No scream (thank Heavens) when the lady came flying out of the building, never looked to her right, and then realized someone was close…
Beautiful morning for a few miles under our rucks. Lots of mumble chatter about the upcoming GROWRUCK event in NC, just not with the two HIMs doing it. They may have been doing a more challenging ruck somewhere else this morning. Just a hint of trail and then some of Bon Air streets. Mixed it up by adding a mosey loop midway. Thanks for the company gents. Numbers, announce….. , names, How does this work? Announcements: 2nd F at L Woods place this Saturday 3pm. Meat and bennies provided, bring a side and let him know if you and the…
Enjoyed rucking a few miles around Rockwood with HP sharing all sorts of real life stories. Big Rig ran for the first half then joined the conversation. Finished up in time to COT and stretch before the musical beatdown. Always a pleasure gents! ~DTH
Seven frequent ruckers pounded the pavement for another 3.5mi trek around Bon Air. We pushed back from the gate a minute or so late, but after encountering some turbulent hills YHC landed the rucking plane perfectly at 0600. Great mumblechatter by all as is accustomed on these Wednesday mornings and the group once again attempted to understand the chasm between men and women to no avail.

10 gloom studs hit the mean streets of Bon Air for the latest edition of sherpa training. YHC brought a 50# KB for the PAX to bring along and share around. Dealer showed off his hulkish hand strength by just palming the ball-side. We covered 3.6 miles in just a few minutes over an hour. Glad to have OC and Scram join us again. Prayers for L Woods’ dad just diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday, and for his M’s pregnancy ultrasound tomorrow. Coffeerama at Einstein afterwards was lovely – took in a history lesson from our Double Respect veteran (Scram),…
Three rucker compadres took to the Rockwood Green Loop, joined later by Big Rig who’d been up early running with Boberry. The uses of AI/Chat was an interesting topic of discussion, and we all appreciated the massive cock at the Latino Market (large rooster statue) as we completed four loops total. Weather is currently perfect. Get out there and enjoy it fellas! Yours AYE, DTH
For the third year in a row, YHC’s disorganization and lack of social promotion led to yet another successful homegrown half, 10K, and 5K! Feedback from the PAX identified that the route last year kept everyone wanting more hills, so we brought back the OG double hill climbs and it was a big hit for all the half marathoners. There was lots of mumble chatter along the way, but also a lot of camaraderie and shared disdain for the sudden resurgence of heat and humidity. At 6am, we kicked off to a true 70 and sunny, and the temp kept…
Seven of F3RVAs finest met at the usual spot before embarking on a tour of the local surroundings—Stony Point & Larus Park to be exact. No coupons this time round, just 3 miles under packs with some banter to lighten the load. Thanks for the company gents. Continuing discussion on the birth of Western civilization was limited given the concurrent reading load and back to school demands of life. Till the next time. SYITG Announcements: Labor Day convergenceUpcoming CSAUP opportunity on 9/26 to ruck and bootcamp: details forthcoming. Probably something like a 30 minute beatdown that will start Friday night…
