!@$%@ Gumballs

5 HIMs showed to eat some Diablo Sammich this morning. Thought Hunkajunk was going to make it 6. Alas, when the clock struck 0530, we were still at 5.

Warmup:
We don’t need no stinkin’ warmup at the Sammich we are already hot and ready to roll…

Pledge.

Whoopee came ready to Q, but YHC had an idea…. Inspired by a recent visit to The Boar’s Nest. So…

The Thang:

Off to the back of Robinson Elementary following the surface streets. (I am sure those that run would have cut the corners and parking lots to make the distance shorter, but us ruckers make sure to go the entire the distance.)

I don’t know if the light was new or had been repaired, but the stairs down to the fields were actually visible, unlike when Gastone recently led all the PAX of SnoBalls back there.

Here we did 11’s with Merkins at the top and Monkey Humpers at the bottom.

0 for 1
YHC failed to account for the numerous gumballs at the bottom of the stairs and performed what was surely a graceful one-legged slide to the ground.
0 for 2
YHC had also managed to completely destroy his waist strap in the truck door, so both called exercises were an additional trial to prevent getting slammed in the head by the plate.

There was a pretty big suck factor on this exercise, so these need to stay on the list of to-do’s.

Headed up and around to Hawks Nest STEAM Academy and across Robinwood, heading towards Harris Teeter (well most of us did, for some reason XXXXX, (name redacted due to medical laws) thought we were going back to SnoBalls already)

Went around the Teeter, stopping at each of the “corners” to for 20 Squats.

Now it was time to put the “pedal to the metal” and head back to SnoBalls, managing to roll-in exactly at 0615.

BTW, no runners were visible (or harmed) during this event.

Announcements:
Monk’s going away party 31-May – Station in Belmont.
Tubing Event – 22-Jun.
Dry Rub VQ @ Bulldog 04-Jun.

YHC took us out in prayer.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. A good bit of BRR-Rucking discussion/planning took place along the way. If interested, hit Roadie or Whoopee up for information.

Watts Up powering down.

Who Tried to Escape Folsom?

7 PAX came to Folsom this morning to get in some work.  The morning was beautiful, with the faint sound of some sort of alarm going off in the background.

Warm up:

Some stretching exercises and stories of the Murph

The Thang:

We moseyed to the second stop light, 10 merkins and 20 squats.  —That alarm is getting louder

Mosey to the gazebo triangle. Run the loop 3 time doing the following — The alarm is at full blast now.

  • 1 st pass – 10 Big Boys at each corner and speed bump
  • 2nd pass – 20 LBCs at each corner and speed bump
  • 3rd pass – 30 Flutter kicks at each corner and speed bump

Mosey to flag for the pledge, then 22 merkins for the troops. — Will this alarm please stop going off….

Mosey back to the ball field intersection for 2 loops. — For all that is good…will this alarm stop….

  • Lunge Walk,  Backward run up the hill, mosey to start
    • 10 squats at each corner
  • Lunge Walk,  Backward run up the hill, mosey to start
    • 20 Hillbillies at each corner.

We mosey back to start, finish with some Mary and silence and can finally be heard through out Folsom.

Prayers:

  • Allen Tate’s travel and family
  • Huckleberry and family
  • Montross and family
  • Hacksaw
  • All PAX  and spoken and unspoken needs

Take note the scripture Numbers 10:9 “When you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and be saved from your enemies.”

It is always an honor to serve with such great men.
