  • Run or Ruck Off… – from Bolt

    9 pax heeded the call of the gloom…2 for running and 7 for rucking. We covered miles and F2 which makes Thursday all the more worthwhile, followed by Q Source.

  • Do what ya wanna – from Charmin

    All who came did according to their talents
    getting up and pushing through the challenge
    Kennah Brah brought a new guy
    His Vices he wants to decry,
    and a CPA, so we named him Off-Balance

  • He’s Not Heavy, He’s My Brother – from Bolt

    After warmorama of the usual with groiners mixed in to liven things up, form single file line and while YHC carries sand bag to the outside track pax do two burpees then last guy in line catches and assumes the sandbag, sending me to the back. If you wanna go fast go alone; if you wanna go far, go together and together is how we support each other when we all struggle mentally.

    Each pax had a turn with the bag, we ended at the rock pile to collect medium rocks and circle up on YHC where burpee timer is in the middle (x15) with Pax at different stations con roca: squats, tricep press, lunges, LBC, OH press, curls, rows, wife pleasers, merkins, reverse lunges, Penguins, SSH, plus sand bag chest press. Rudy opted to skip a song incurring a five burpee penalty for all just before Mambi was the timer; “Thanks a lot, Rudy” was his reply. Rudy actually experienced double punishment because the awful song he skipped brought an even worse song (Bolt’s playlist delivers again!) and no back to back skips—hahaha.

    Mahatma, as always, offered up encouragement to keep pushing ourselves. Today’s gloom, like life, had each pax pushing himself with something different than the men around him yet it was the shared struggle that bound us together because he’s not heavy, he’s my brother.

    Back to the flag grateful for F3 and the support of brothers in the gloom; welcome back (Kotter) Pillsbury and way to keep the consistency, Off Balance.

  • Running Instead of Stretching – from Charmin

    YHC came out expecting a stretch session decided to run a mile before the workout. Fortunately, when 5:30 came, Pai Gow was the only other HIM, so we decided to run.

    Overall, it was good to push ourselves in the gloom.

  • Another Limerick and a Joke – from Charmin

    Rucker rucked and runners ran
    But nowhere was my regional Nantan
    Compared to Bolt us ruckers were slowpokes
    But to make up for it, YHC told a joke
    But but by the end, we were all a better man

    The joke:

    Two cowboys are riding through the desert and are running out of food
    The first cowboy calls out because he sees a short tree with bacon hanging from it.
    Delighted he starts running towards it. Before the second cowboy can react, the first cowboy is shot from out of nowhere.
    The second cowboy, pauses and screams out, “That wasn’t a bacon tree, it was a ham bush!”

  • Charmin Maniversary – from Charmin

    Apparently today was YHC’s Maniversary; so to celebrate I have written a lymrick:

    I posted in the gloom today for a ruck.
    I chose this ’cause I knew running would suck
    In total there were 9 runners
    1 walker, and 3 ruckers
    We are all thankful for F3 getting us unstuck

  • Runners, Rucker, and Recoverers—Oh My – from Bolt

    Cool in the gloom with a mixed bag of activity: some came to run, some came to ruck, while some came to recover. All came to improve with a dose of the daily red pill. Thanks for the camaraderie.
