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 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.

Headed left out of Weaver and looped through JRHS back to Robious. Right into Riverdowns North, left on Forest Creek, and another left on Lenox Forest. Cross Robious into Kings Farm. Turn around at Riverdowns South, just before hitting roller coaster, and reverse back to Weaver. 4+ total. Doozy hung with us while tapering for another half this weekend. Good luck Doozy. Good conversations this morning. Prayers and quick healing for Singer as he heads into surgery on his elbow next week.
9 grown-boys started off their week by running around a parking lot this morning at The Alamo. Here’s what went down… WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the one end of the horseshoe shaped parking lot for some stretching. SSH’s, DMH, Ukrainian soldiers, LBC’s, Rosco’s Mom, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s WIfe. Moseyed back to the starting area. COP #1 Ran from one end of the horseshoe to the other, performed (10) Merkins and ran back. Ran from one end of the horseshoe to the other, performed (9) Squats and ran back. Ran from one end of the horseshoe to the other,…
Lots of deep conversation and mumble chatter as (half) marathon training season enters its final month of 2024. YHC & Boberry got in 12, Rosie got in 9, and Honeymoon healed up and joined for his first long run in months bringing in 6 great miles. Coffee at Starbucks with the walkers, Duane & Cookie, afterwards. A few more long runs to go before race day!
My apologies for this getting out late, after today things went a way that is not my normal schedule yet what I will state at the end everyone will understand. Side note…. Hopefully Broadway made it home ok he had car issues but a sign of F3 is the help that might be needed when the time comes. The reason I carry a portable charger cause never know when someone might need it to get their car going. I normally get there as little early but today and after leading Satan’s Hill yesterday, I needed a small break before starting…
It’s been a little time since I led a Q, yet it was time to get one under my belt see what madness I can come up with. 8 came out to see if the word of the day could be survival. Here’s the breakdown…. Start of with a run up Satan’s Hill, back down for a good warm up(SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Michael Phelps, Merkins, LBCs, plus additional stretching). A run up the path led by my Garmin Watch light(has a good brightness) to the little circle to start A Mini OYO( on your own) Dora to start…
A dozen loyal HIM’s showed up with popcorn to see whether DTH or Facilities Manager “Bobby” would win the pissing contest. In this game you gotta show up to win. Without any particular plan in mind (this is the new post-1000 “WasHard” approach) here’s how The Forge PAX secured the AO for generations to come: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer The usual DTH top to bottom IC Reps to make 100 total… well that’s a good start toward 1000… meh, nevermind COP #1: Mosey over in front of the school entrance, ensuring we’re right…
But we did them anyways, and now my legs hurt. We headed around the Mt Pisgah. Loop and did the hills twice. That’s when Bullseye decided he didn’t want to do hills so he trekked out on his own. Then we went down Mt Midlo and over to the steady climb up the back side of Honeymoon Hill. We circled back to Mt Midlo where we stayed at race pace for the first half and Bernie Sanders the second half. Finally we ended with a couple sets of suicides and a Bernie up the hill beside the track. numberama, namerama,…
