Right month this time. 2 ruckers and a Q-source regular gathered for a few miles of weighty discussion followed by coffeeteria this morning. Our focus was on living right which we wove into our thoughts and reflections on positive habit transfer and accountability. I really appreciate the opportunity to have these conversations and to learn and grow from each other’s experiences. Look forward to seeing more of the regular PAX for future installments
VQ week continues!
After all of the Lt Dans 24 hours ago, these upper legs are feeling like rare fillet mignon! But that didn’t slow down this big Beavers 3 mile ruck this foggy gloom.
Choo Choo is down range working on some track stuff. Yukon is downrange in VA Beach helping a friend with some city council polling? Praying for Bubbles back, hoping he recovers speedily and healthy. Toll Booth, hope you’re doing well my friend! I hope to see you all very soon!
Choo Choo and I should be back at it with a bootcamp tomorrow am.
7 HIMs embraced the gloom for our monthly ruck (first Tuesday of each month). According to Michael Myers, here’s what took place…
Trail head starts in Foxcroft and cuts down by the reservoir for 3/4 of a mile, and the pax was met with a nice hill to get the blood going. Few loops throughout the neighborhood, ending with one of the more serious hills in SOJ.
caught our breath and back into the woods. Just under 3 miles of cutting through the fog. James and numbers, then off to Starbucks (the other one Swoop) for some quality 2nd F.
Short on pax not hills. 3 tuned in this morning to explore what new routes maybe waiting for us in the vicinity of Ruckhenge. With perfect weather and Halloween just around the corner, we wondered what we may find as we lurked from street to street. Didn’t quite get through the route that was planned but a number of new ideas were seeded. Q2.2-2.3 Influence and Missionality were our topics from the Q source today. Thanks for the thoughts and engagement guys. Looking forward to seeing more of our regulars next time! Enjoy a safe halloween everyone!

Five gloom sherpas posted to Ruckhenge for their weekly trek up the Everest of Life. With a massively devilish grin, YHC brought out a few “presents” for our lucky PAX, two 40# bags of rocks (GTE Team Weights) and a 60# sandbag. See what happens when nobody signs up to Q?!? Sharing the coupon love, the PAX took off for a big lap around the area, returned to the flag and dropped coupons to do a speed ruck lap, then returned for a Triple Check: all PAX wearing their rucks, one pair takes the sand bag for a walk while the other two groups are occupied with either coupon press or squats. With 10min left the coupons were again shouldered and the PAX did a final medium-sized lap. Mumble chatter was highlighted by many Growruck memories. Appreciated the brotherhood quality time together fellas – no better way to start the day! And Rodeo Clown joined us for some awesome QSource cofferama conversation. Yours AYE! ~DTH

The Hunt For Red Octagon led 5 HIMs to gather at the stop sign at 0530 with weight on their back and coffee in their hands. Off we went. Heist brought some energy this morning and set the pace out the gates. Discussions on fantasy football, the proper placement of a front door on a house, and if we should adopt a battlecry by saying three FFFs in succession (yes).
moving and grooving this morning. Good to get out with the group as always.
6 gloom rucker HIM’s conquered the trails of Larus Park under the glow of a Hunters Full Supermoon, periodically stopping for 9 reps of various exercises. Mumble chatter was excellent as always and the PAX were joined by Broke Clown to plumb the deep truths of Prayer (Q1.10) & Study (Q1.11). Yours AYE! ~DTH
6 intrepid HIMs decided to wake up today and walk in unison. According to the trash man, here’s what took place.
Meet at the stop sign at Camdale Dr & Bellstone Dr at 0530 and was glad to see Cookie took us up on the free parking at Rudy’s house. After a brief huddle to decipher what Rudy was dreaming about, we got to steppin’.
Same route as last week though this time Merman and Blacktop set a tepid pace for the group. Items of discussion today were whale migrations and the impact that marine construction projects have on them, how people like Rudy can rest easy knowing we’re rucking these streets and keeping them safe, and The Righteous Gemstones is not for kids.
The group was elated that we were able to pass the trash man prior to arriving back at the stop sign.
Two gloom brothers met up for a ruck around the dark trails of Rockwood. Nearing first place for the most posts in the last month (thanks BD), House Party took off like a racehorse out the gate, instantly making YHC wonder just how much horsepower is in a HouseParty. This HIM was practically jogging with his ruck, and actually did jog for the trail downhills. Awesome conversation as always, but tough to maintain when your gloom buddy is gassing you with his ruck speed! Pretty sure we need to double his ruck weight! YHC split to go do family pictures while HP continued rucking the last few minutes before the bootcamp. Yours AYE! ~DTH
“In the U.S., one horsepower is defined as a unit of power equal to 746 watts, nearly equivalent to the English gravitational unit of the same name that equals 550 foot-pounds of work per second. One horsepower is a unit of power that equals the work done in lifting 550 pounds one foot in one second.”
7 took the DRP and showed up at Ruckhenge for one of the freshest mornings in some time (5 early and 2 a bit later on). It was the trails of Larus this morning, traversed in a non-typical fashion with twists and turns to keep things interesting. Appreciate all the ongoing conversation and discussions of the Q.source. Today’s chapters were the Whetstone and Mammon. Are you sharpening or being sharpened in a vertical relationship, or is it less traditional? Missed a few lads this morning and hope to have their company again soon. Come and join us at the next one!
