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 HIMs came out of the gloom on a 70° morning to partake in some exercising. According to the man who wasn’t lured in by our “Free workout!” shouts, here’s what took place. Quick mosey around the lot down to the bus lane for warmarama – SSH, DMH, cherry pickers, arm circles, imperial walkers, merkins, LBC, alabama prom dates, rosco’s mom. Mosey over to Bus Lane #1. Run to 18, 18 merkins, run back. Run to 16, 16 merkins, run back. Repeato until all even numbers were hit. Mosey to back of school, OG triple check from our first Green…
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,…

11 grown-boys started their Columbus Day off at The Alamo! YHC was pumped to mix in some exercises to throw shade at that football team from Columbus but Nancy Lopez wasn’t in attendance so it wouldn’t have been as fun. Carry on! WARMARAMA – Moseyed over to the other side of the horseshoe for some stretching. Gave the “push yourself, don’t hurt yourself” disclaimer and got into it. SSH’s, DMH, Imp Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, LBC’s, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife. Moseyed through the tunnel to the far side of the road. COP #1: Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

13 Diamond Dogs (One 5 year old FNG!) came out to Rockwood Park for the latest edition of Rocknroll. Temperatures were a cooler 70 and sunny, perfect for the beatdown that was about to ensue. Start with a mosey lap around the parking lot, then circle up near the power tower for the standard warmarama. SSH, Don Quyotes, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Merkins, LBCs. Mosey back to short columns near the flag for a triple check. Polesmokers, American Hammers, timer runs to the yellow pipeline and back(60 yards?) Mosey to the concession stand for another triple check Hoe downs,…
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…
Nine gentlemen of the gloom posted at the Twin Team Lounge to ease into the weekend with some chill vibes and a Clydesdale-approved beatdown.

With busy upcoming weekends, Draper and I decided to knock out a long(er) run as the Richmond Half draws near. We launched at 5am from No Toll and explored the various surrounding neighborhoods. Finished off with a lap around Johnston-Willis Hospital and the Lowes Parking Lot. Total distance was 9.2 miles. Post-run survey seems to indicate that a good time was had by all. The backblast title refers to us pulling up in identical Jeep Renegades. – crazy. SYITG
