Old Stony Point ruck

  • fudge packing nut sacks

    Seven gloom warriors got up a little earlier than usual and freshened up with the hottest new holiday cologne, Eau De Tryhard. Here were the highlights and hilarities:

    The THANG:   Welcome back to Rodeo Clown for the ruck portion of our Ruckhenge time together, and nice to have Bromance step up to the plate and join the fun. 0500 hit and PAX did a warm up latecomers loop around the parking lot, returning to the Taco to collect Sandy (60# sandbag). Instructions provided to share Sandy around the PAX for the duration of the ruck – Purple Rain had first honors and made it look light. Marched over to Buford Road Pharmacy and did a brief Welcome, Disclaimer, and x10 Squats IC to “warm-up”. Sable did those squats under 100 pounds total, and his grunts of pleasure made us all feel a little warmer somehow… PAX ambled around some neighborhoods and made it back across to Larus Park for a loop on the trails, getting a total of 3 miles in. Well done all! 

    After COT, Coffeerama at Einstein was packed with humor and deep thoughts. DTH shared a delicious holiday Fudge (thanks to Katniss’s M), and jokes about fudge abounded. Then Rodeo Clown slapped his nut sack down on the table top, ie, he doled out beautifully wrapped baggies of home made Bourbon Espresso Pecans. And then Doublemint regaled us about his serving as a JAG with the National Guard is like being the Shaft of the spear (the tip being the guys going into combat). Sooo you get the picture – fudge packing, nut sacks, and a big shaft… In an effort to discuss the Q Source, Purple Rain shared he had some pillow talk with his M last night reading from the Q Source to his wife. Her reaction was “what propaganda is this?!” The PAX moved on to discuss the topic of Exhortation – concluding that leading by example and investing time listening to someone’s story is what positions you to exhort a brother in love. Awesome time with awesome brothers – heart is full! Yours AYE! ~DTH

    What goes down must come up. It was great to see 9 men out this morning for a rainy 3.5 miles of hilly terrain. Great work everyone. This mornings Q.source was focused (maybe not so focused) on Articulation and Persuasion.

  • Frostbite Fanatics

    Six men dressed in all black, and one in light grey, trekked their weighted packs through the frozen tundra of Bon Air for another edition of Ruckhenge. The 20-degree air put an extra pep in our step and we covered 3.5miles before shuffling into Einstein’s bagels for coffeerama and QSource discussion with Rodeo Clown joining while on IR.

    Great conversations around the topics of Trust (3.3) and Vision (3.4) but nothing was recorded for posterity.

  • Black Listed

    Four lords of the gloom rucked a few miles through neighborhood discussing a variety of topics, one of which being the blatant corruption of our legal system. A resultant revelation may be that YHC’s obstinate participation in hanging a jury on a murder trial some years back may have resulted in YHC being black listed from ever again being drafted for jury duty – we’ll call that a win. Coffeerama after was awesome. Please join us in prayer for brother Doublemint who found out this morning of his Uncle Jim’s passing. And Happy Thanksgiving to all! Yours, DTH

  • Deep Thoughts on the Grog

    Six ruck-humpin gloom lovers launched into Laurus following the Q who used the North Star (AKA, Sable) to navigate the pathless venture through mountains of leaves, eventually finding the tunnel and mountain bike trial up and around to Stony Point. En route Little John challenged all bridge passers and the bottle of murky grog was offered to inspire the spirit of deep thoughts. It was awesome having Brickhouse join us, and excellent Einsteinorama followed with discussion wrapping up Live Right via Correction & Targeting. Sable especially enjoyed this immersive experience. Until next time, Yours AYE! ~DTH

  • Ruckhenge 110624

    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!

  • Ruckhenge 103024

    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!

  • Reflections in the Gloom

    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

  • Dohard does the Supermoon 999

    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

  • Stone or Blade?

    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!
