Beautiful weather this morning! Overcast with a light drizzle. Could not get much better this time of the year!

/in /by

Rolled in to Hilltop Needmore Park to find none other than Pots. We chatted a few minutes and the PAX started rolling in. We packed up all of the Ruck packs and we are off at 6:00 am.

FNG: None

 

The Workout: We Rucked from NeedMore AO to Momas House of Thrift. Great mumblechatter along the way. Midget was his normal mouthy self this morning. We estimated we had around 400lbs or more we dropped off this morning. What a great way to start your Sunday off giving like we are called to do. Slid over to Dunkin wher Midget picked up the bill for coffee and donuts. Headed back to the Park and we ended up with a little over 8 miles. Way to show up this morning!!

Announcments: Mulch sign up

T-Claps: Midget for headlocking Hot Tub Time Machine and No Sugar to make the drive from Raleigh. Great having them join us this am. Midget for the hospitality at Dunkin. 8bit (2.0) for being so active and keeping us straight. Good Luck to him as he travels to NY.

 

Prayer: YHC took us out!  It’s an Honor to Co-Q this AO with Pots!

 

 

What the Ruck!

/in /by

Hilltop NeedMore Ruck. We were off at 6:00 am. 6 PAX showed to endure the heat. It was hot!!!

FNG: None

Warm Up: The RUCK

The Workout: We hit the Red Trail first for 2.2 miles which is always my favorite. We lost one that had other obligations so off to the yellow for 2.1 miles. Last but not least the blue for .6 miles. We circled the old club house to make it a complete 5 miles. If you have never done this….it’s a great way to catch up with F3 family you normally don’t see every day. You do not have to own a Ruck pack. Plenty of guys have a back-pack and weights inside. Come out and join us next week as we will Ruck a little over 8 miles and deliver food to Momas House of Thrift.

Mary: None

Announcements: Bass Lake mulch.

T-Claps (Recognition)

Prayer: YHC took us out.

NeedMore Ruck with some heavy weight and some running!

/in /by

Ruck was on at NeedMore Park Sunday morning with a PAX of 13. Several F3 guys spotted running once we started. 

FNG: None 

Warm Up: The RUCK 

The Workout: We started out on the Red Loop backwards for 2 miles. Dropped over to the yellow for 1 mile. Breach decided we would double time that was set on his watch. Lost one due to Church then we scratched off to the blue for the last 2 miles. All together we managed to get 5 miles and some had more picking up the 6 from the double time.  

Mary: None

The Ruck – 3 Mile

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up:  OYO
The Workout:  3 miles red loop and some extra strolls in the parking lot.  Midget and his Gal sighting (someone’s alarm did not go off). PAX carried 20-50 # depending on stupidity, I mean strength and will-power.
Mary:  No appearance but a ton a mumble chatter.
Announcements:  Mulch, future Rucks.  And for the record, do not ever piss off POTS!  He was on a roll today and a wee bit cantankerous.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer:  Unspoken

 

This Ruck was the best morning ever to adjust Gross weight!!!

/in /by

YHC talked to Breach about a food Ruck for Momas House of Thrift. Put it out on slack earlier in the week so you HIM could prepare. It was not disappointing this morning with 13 PAX for the Ruck and 3 for some miles. Arrived this morning to find at least 8 already packing the food into their back packs. M4life had a little extra pack for each one to hand off and carry along the route. 

FNG: None 

Warm Up: The RUCK 

The Workout: At 6:00 am we were off. Started the Ruck off with lots of mumblechatter. It was noted right off, that someone was already complaining about the weight of their pack. No name calling! After we hit the blue trail towards Breaches house he mentions, hey lets stop by my house. I said whats up? Nothing, I have a case of toilet paper we can pass around OTW. I was the first one to tote the box of paper. It was passed around for the first mile….until it was Breaches turn. He did carry it for a few feet before stopping and we regrouped. (Box of toilet paper no fun to carry.) We removed all the toilet paper and stuffed it into grocery bags and packs. This would have been the best morning ever, to adjust gross weight. Lots and Lots of TP. Back on the route to Momas House. Still heard complaining about the weight a certain HIM pack. No Names! A little over 4 miles we arrived to drop off the food. We estimated it was over 400lbs of food. Way to step up and help out when in need!! We soon found ourselves getting refreshments and coffee at Dunkin. The Ruck back was a much faster pace! The total Ruck was around 8.5 miles.  Breach and I decided we did not need to lead. We walk to fast!

Mary: None 

Announcements: Bass Lake mulch starts back Saturday.  M4life reminded to donate to the 4 families dealing with COVID and can not work.  

This is one of the best ways to get to know everyone. One minute you are walking and talking and the next you are near the middle or rear fellow shipping with another. Come out and join us next week. 

After much discussion when we returned we will make the food Ruck a monthly trek. More details to follow. 

T-Claps (Recognition) Pikachu, Cupid and Skidmark for getting some miles this morning. All the HIM’s for getting up and supporting this worthy cause to assist those in need. 2.0 Slaps LED’s son for joining us OTW back.  

Prayer: Continued prayer for LED’s friend. Victims of COVID. Our Country. Others had unspoken. Those who carried to much weight this morning! 

It was an honor to lead! Sprinkler

Officially 1st work out at this new AO (NeedMore Ruck). Sent out a pre backblast Saturday. I was not expecting many since all the fireworks shows and parties the night before except Pots. I knew he would not let me down. To my surprise when I pulled into Hilltop Needmore Park 4 Pax was chatting in PVA.  

 

FNG: Ian (will name him next week) 

Warm Up: None 

The Workout: At 6:00 am on the dot we started. We hit the red trail first for 2 miles. After completing this loop off to the yellow which is 1 mile. After we ended up at the parking lot LED & FNG Ian had to cut a trail. Took a quick pic and we then hit the blue trail. All in all it was 5 miles. Great mumblechatter through out.  

Mary: None 

Announcements: Bass Lake mulch starts back Saturday. We had much discussion on naming this AO. It was decided NeedMore Ruck. This came from Hilltop Needmore Road and the community in which it lies Needmore Community. 

T-Claps (Recognition) All who made it out after July 4th to start Sunday morning off right. LED for bringing FNG. 

Prayer: Silent
