Tag: Ruckhenge

A swarthy seven were kind enough to wait for a last-minute NTB arrival for this week’s rendition of Ruckhenge! YHC launched out of bed late (really need to check the alarm settings) and that same rush of adrenaline to get to the AO on time set the tone for our fast pace through the forest and around Stony Point mall. We returned to the parking lot where we narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by a Karen who was eager to get her bagels before us even if it meant running us over.

Prayer Requests

• YHC’s M’s grandmother passed away over the weekend.

A fabulous five ditched their leotards and instead donned their packs in the pursuit of rucking gold. Along our nearly 4mile journey we listened to Purple Rain’s recounting of what he picked up from the morning’s finest radio program, Coast to Coast with George Noory. Lizard people, aliens, and flaming skulls at Indian burial grounds were the highlights of what we assume is a daily listener, long time caller situation for our friend PR. Many other tall tales were told along the journey and we barely escaped a shakedown by a Stony Point mall cop to return safely to Einstein’s for coffeerama.

Prayers for the Hendersons as they are just getting settled in PNG and prayers for Dealer’s family as his step mom battles health issues.

Seven gloom studs packed out some rucks and rocks at Ruckhenge in the latest edition of the DTH Farewell Tour. RC’s long EH finally paid off with bringing out FNG Antonio, a colleague from the DMV world, who’s got a passion for motorcycles – welcome SCOOTER! We also strong-armed out brother SCOBY to swing down from his SCCC stomping grounds and join the ruck fun. PAX speed-rucked through some Bon Air neighborhoods sharing around the added burden of the two 40-pound rock bags that served as Team Weights for the Growruck. Variable reps were also achieved at a few stopping points, some called IC for Scooter’s benefit, and the PAX also enjoyed a nice long elbow plank under weight to review the F3 Mission, 5CP’s, and Credo. Proud of these men pushing through it this morning – never seen a group of brothers so eager for their turn to carry a bag of rocks. Haha. Cofeerama was a joy, and can’t WAIT to get back to Ruckhenge after YHC’s return from the mission field (soooo, June 4th). Probably gonna Q it, you know, cause that’s the MO. Yours AYE! ~DTH

What an ice morning! 4 insomniacs met up for a rucking good time and a few miles around the streets and trails of Larus. May have seen a pine shedding some extra weight, thankfully before we arrived. Appreciated having the company this morning and continuing the them of the TFT from the weekend.

numbers, names and announcements: Thoughts for the DTHs as they prepare for mission and travels to family this weekend.

Followed by Coffeerama and a Q.source discussion on Failure and Teamwork. SYITG

Eight stud muffins gathered at the Stony Point Shopping Center for a frosty trek through Larus Park in this morning’s newest edition of Ruckhenge. Approximately 3.5mi of ground was covered under load and the mumblechatter was supreme. Great to see McRib out for maybe the first time, and the return of Double Mint was highly anticipated.

Announcements: THIS SATURDAY – FROZEN TRIANGLE – DOGPILE 6am – The less questions you ask the better.

Prayer Requests:

• Double Mint, DTH, and Broadway all have friends and loved ones battling new cancer diagnoses.

YHC took us out and over to coffeerama at Einstein’s.

A half-dozen HIMs trekked 3 miles through the icy Bon Air streets this morning as YHC had the pleasure of leading another Ruckhenge expedition. At 0500 we headed southbound on McRae and looped around the back of Bon Air elementary on the new(ish) paved trail before making our way over to the Bon Air Baptist parking lot. Once in the parking lot we snaked our way through each parking row, stopping at each end for ascending reps of weighted get-ups. After 8 rounds of get-ups we felt like 36 reps of acting like turtles and recovering from our backs to our feet we headed for home and the warmth of Einstein bagel for coffeerama and QSource discussion on Contentment (3.11) and Courage (3.12).
