No runners today – but luckily I always have my ruck loaded and ready to go. 3 distinguished gentlemen hit the surprisingly busy streets of Rockwood Park at 6am sharp. We did the full paved nature trail and approximately 2 laps around the main road. Great conversation that included the Tarrington neighborhood; which inspired the backblast title, as well as alcohol (types and where to consume). We had a quick pace and the sweat was flowing with the high humidity. The PAX made it back in under an hour, just in time for the Boberry/Rubble beat down. As always, it…

A morning hike through the neighborhoods to see if we could EH anyone. The 6 burly men probably scared everyone off because no one was around. There is good potential for members from several of the surrounding neighborhoods. Rucks are good advertisement to draw them in. A good 3 mile trek to gave me time to think about the pain I could deliver for the iron bridge. Thanks for the conversations and company, it was a great way to warm up.
YHC and House Party linked up again before Twin Team and hit the streets. I forgot my headlamp and was wearing a black shirt and dark grey shorts. The route took us past JRHS, right on Robious, then turn around at the halfway time mark. We made it back just as the TT Crew was arriving. If you haven’t noticed – HP has been getting after it on the running front. Keep it up!
