The air was crisp, but not cold. Jacket weather. It felt good. Honey suckle filled the air. It smelled very good. The birds were so loud even I could hear them. It sounded great. The sky was filled with broken clouds with the colored light rising over the horizon. It looked fantastic! What could make for a better morning ruck??

Bacon. Taste was the only sense neglected, and you can never go wrong with bacon.

It was a great ruck.

Sorry you missed it.

Run Around the Bike Path and Things

DATE: May 20, 2019

AO: Higgins (Tom Cloud Park – Huber Heights, OH)

Q: Zebra

PAX: Cobra, Whisper

I drove into Higgins hot and in the nick of time for today’s beatdown. Cobra and Whisper were talking about animals as they patiently waited. We started with a mosey around the parking lot then a short COP:

Side Staddle Hops IC x 20

Imperial Walkers IC x 20

Zebra Butt-Kicks OYO x 20/leg

Then we moved on to…

The Thang:

We counted off 1, 2, 3 for purposes of rotating pick of exercises, then me moseyed onto the bike path. At the first stop, Whisper lead us with 25 squat jumps. The next stop Cobra had us do 20 Supermans. As we arrived at the pull-up bars, it was my choice and yes, you guessed it – 10 Pull-Ups! Then we moseyed up to the shelter where Whisper had us do 20 dips. We then took off to the hill where Cobra lead us with a 60 sec decline plank. Next, we moseyed up the hill, around the parking lot and to the shelter where I lead us with 20 one-legged squats, 20 incline Merkins and 20 decline Merkins. Lastly, we moseyed back down the hill where we finished off with 20-rep Bruce Lees!

We then had some combo COT/stretching action, prayer, video and pic. I also shared Monday Motivational Speech: Be Like a Shark!

Q: Wilson

Two amiable gents began the morning at Thomas Cloud Park (a.k.a., Higgins) with a 1 mile ruck to get the blood flowing. Concerning rucking, a fellow Pax has noted, “It’s just walking!”

Aye!

And it’s not lovin’ the warmth of the covers in the early morning gloom. It’s not highly strenuous, but it will make you better at dealing with the day.

Post ruck was spent stretching.

Can you keep up with an old man walking for 20 minutes?? Give it a try.

It’ll make you better, too.

Wilson
