9 fast-paced walkers with weight in their back emerged from the gloom to enjoy the beautiful morning. YHC felt inspired to take the scenic route so we headed to the reservoir. Up the hill to McGruffs (no McGruff today) and across the street to hit the hills and make our way back. Today’s topics were the cost of daycare vs the cost of dance, but can you really put a price on some things? Rudy needs to mow his lawn. How many Amelia burpees did Futon do today. Proper safety protocols when using a saw so you don’t lose a…

Four of the usual RH crowd gathered at Einsteins Bagels -Stony Point SC for a couple miles around Bon Air. We were not chased by any of the City’s Officers and we did not stop by Snuff’s abode, though we were tempted. Many topics of conversation were covered including the 4th Chapter of 12 Rules for Life – Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. Thanks gents. SYITG.

10 men arrived at the “STOP SIGN of RUCKERS”, One of us (FlyBoy) arrived anxiously early at 5:15am instead of 5:30am, on Camdale/Bellstone to get in a 45min ruck. We trekked into the new section and saw for the first time, a FAKE DOG keeping watch of Crabgrass dropping a deuce. Good boy! We talked about variety of things, almost had us an ole’ fashion Ruck Fight w/ knives, and we grew together as men do on weighted morning walks with each other. Some of us laughed, some of us cried remembering our bad moments in Ultimate Frisbee, and some…
3 Beasts from the east got together this morning to work on our rucking pace. We got in 3 miles at a pace of 15:30. A lot of chatter this morning about daily routines and having kids. YHC agrees that Wildwood has one of the best daily routines which includes a lot of golf. Beavers next Q will be his 100th! Without his push, discipline, and commitment, we wouldn’t even have an F3 in New Kent. He didn’t just show up he helped build something. Appreciate you! YHC out Don’t waste the day!
Six Ruckhenge regulars and one esteemed FNG gathered this morning for a ruck around Larus park and Stony Point Fashion Park. Welcome Dolly (Lee Franco – Sable’s VCU colleague)!! We trekked the western side of Larus, crossing the Sabot School gate, and onward to Stony Point Mall. We then turned East towards the VCU outpatient center and re-entered Larus. It was at that point YHC took the PAX into uncharted territory. We encountered a very steep hill, then a downed tree, then a “private property sign”… odd…before crossing a brick wall that could only signify one thing, the back of…
7 HIMs came out on a cold April morning to enjoy the cool air. It was a busy morning in the hood, many more cars on the road than normal. No worries, onward we go. YHC had his wife’s yoga pants on and set a brick pace for the squad. Skipped are usual route and went around the far side of RounTrey. Made our way to Alamo, Flyboy thought we were going home, but no, more time to ruck so we skipped around the other way past 3 Doors Down and made our way to the reservoir. Flyboy thought we…
With Beaver down range Wildwood and I decided to try and beat his rucking pace this morning. We had a good shuffle going on but couldn’t quite get there but we will! We knocked out a little over 3 miles at a 16:30 pace. It was good to catch up and talk about vacations, kids and pretty much everything going on in this crazy world. We both agreed that people need to focus more on improving themselves than focusing on the flaws of others. More people need to wake up earlier and put in the work! Don’t waste the day.
An unexpected Tuesday ruck culminated late Monday night through text. Whatever it takes to get people out seemed to be the theme. When I arrived, I couldn’t help but notice the undercurrents of tension. Little did I know that this was actually a recon mission for Flyboy’s ongoing grudge against New Market. I’m not even sure they’re aware. In his words, “I’m behind enemy lines.”Fandango seemed slightly jealous and the other side of Hull St remained neutral. I’m not sure what’s going on between RoundTrey and New Market, but everytime I’m with Flyboy, the tension seems to rise. I hope…
6 gloom warriors rolled into a dark, foggy & misty morning at Timberwolf. As Led Zeppelin says, “So I’m packing my bags for a misty mountain, where the spirits go now, over the hill where the spirits fly!” It’s 5:30, time for FlyBoy to make his decision; boot camp or ruck? YHC got excited when he saw the weighted vest emerge from the trunk of his car. Crabgrass joined for moral support. And we were off, 3 ruckers (Crabby, FlyBoy, TSG) and 3 boot campers! I don’t think anyone signed up for bootcamp Q, so I think they rotated, TSG…
4 men gathered on this crisp Spring morning for a short 3.5 mile trip around Huguenot/Westchester. April fools and fraudsters were the topic of convo for much of the morning. We then felt the Bern on a couple hills before returning to Einsteins Bagels for a discussion centered on chaos and order. JP’s 2nd rule for life. Thanks for the company and discussion gents.
