CSAUP FOOD RUCK 3/16/24

This was not your normal F3 CSAUP.  This CSAUP included all three Fs and was COMPLETELY SELFLESS AND ULTIMATELY PLEASING!  Not to mention a bonus POINT for all who rucked and donated food.

12 HIM assembled at The Fighting Yank ready to go at 0545.  A quick disclaimer was muttered even though nobody was paying attention cuz all eyes were on Whoopees wheelbarrow.  The guys knew the drill.  Ruck to Harris Teeter.  Raid the shelves.  Pay and pack up for a return trip in 60 minutes or less.  Enough chatter lets go!

Lots of laughter and talk along the way with a squeak or two coming from our trusty ole wheelbarrow.

With Teeter curbside parking wide open at 0605 the wheelbarrow was left to wonder just how much food she would be wheeling back to the Yank.  Twelve rucks exited the store overflowing with food donations and ultimately filling the wheelbarrow to the top.    A quick picture for the history book and we were headed back to the Yank.

With 10 minutes to go until bootcamp we had YHCs truck half filled with food, and it kept coming.

Honorable mentions go to the guys who sent over cash donations (Pallbearer & Balljoint); those dollars were converted into canned goods.  Those that rucked their food days earlier as their schedule allowed (Pinto); and those who added food donations to truck before bootcamp as YHC was trying to get ready to Q.  (Tooth Fairy, Fannie Mae, Norwood, and most likely there were more that YHC didn’t see.)  Sorry. Please speak up and YHC will edit.

This was a fun CSAUP to start our morning and all for a worthy cause.  We estimate F3 donated 450-500 lbs. of food to Peace Hope and Love in Gastonia.  Eh Yall, Tooth Fairy and YHC delivered these goods Saturday morning.  Trust us when we say they will use everything we delivered.  The PH&L staff were very happy with our blessing!

Thank you all! & Til next time!

Crossroads 3/17/24

What a beautiful morning for a run/ruck. One lesson learned – if Broke says he’s planning a “pretty flat” 7 mile route, he’s lying.

The PAX headed inside Ingle’s for a discussion on “Jester”.  The discussion was very lively and thought provoking. You really must show to know!

Recovery Week

-To the tune of Paul Revere by The Beastie Boys-

🎶🎶 One lone HRB I be
Who all by muself without nobody
Chill was beatin’ down on my Bobcats cap
The air was not hot, the hills were not flat 🎶🎶

After several races, this week offered a recovery break for many runners. There were far fewer cars in the neighborhood so it was quiet all around. Running season isn’t over so The Halfpips is not closing down foe the season yet.

Announcements
You’re hopwfully not reading this for breaking news

Prayer Requests
M’s aunt passed away after a quick battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 87 and at peace with her eternity.

Until next week…

Core’n More back by popular demand….

It’s the perfect weather to show up for a beat down.  This is not fartsacking weather boys! This is the time to shine, to push yourself and challenge your breaking point, lol. Nobody wants to do this stupid stuff in 85 degree weather with 100 percent humidity.  Lets get it in now.

We had a good turn out with 7 total. There was a camp-Out at The Schiele with the boys scouts this morning which prevented us from our VIP parking status. We found a spot back towards the picnic table to circle up. I broke out some NIN’s station for tempo, set the clock for 50 on, and  10 seconds to transition to the next exercise. 

Set 1: LBC’s, baby makers, heels to Heaven, rev LBC’s, Superman hold, and American hammers. Rinse & Repeat

Set 2: Let’s hit the trail and riffle carry our coupon, curl your coupon halfway down, then over-head press across the bridge. Stop and sumo squat w/coupon, bear crawl up the hill, derkins, step-ups and triceps dips on the bench. Mosey back down the hill, pick up your coupon, around the world until the hill, curl up the hill, and return the base. 

Set 3: Circle back up and pick 1 of 7 work out stations; Merkins to max, over-head bar bell, curl a coupon, shrugs two coupons, over head flys with scuba weights, plank jacks, and shadow box for 50 on/ 10 off. Rotate after each set counter clock wise. Rinse & Repeat. 

With 4 minutes left, let’s do Mary. Gotta show to know. 

Good work men! 

Prayers to Turleman, Jackson Hall family, my M’s kidney stone, and all the other prayers that may have been spoken and I forgot and for those not mentioned.
