New Ruck Path

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Oatmeal, Coach K, Walmart
QIC: F150

AO: Flag Pole Hill

THA THANG:
2.6 mile ruck

MOLESKIN:
YHC took the PAX on a different route that gave us a few more hills. We took a moment to see the scene of the crime that took the ankle of Oatmeal and he was quickly pulled back by Coach K’s voice as he was being drawn too close to the edge. A lot of conversations took place during the morning.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Run Ranger Run – Team is full
2. CSAUP – March
3. Q Source on Wednesday and Friday

Mud Ruck

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: F150, Icebox (and Maverick)
QIC: Mile High

AO: Flag Pole Hill Ruck

THA THANG:
3 mile ruck

MOLESKIN:
YHC polled the group at the beginning and received consent to stretch the 2.5 mile loop to 3 miles. Mumblechatter was strong and ran the spectrum from how to make our region stronger to ways to prevent a neutered dog from licking his sutures. To add the additional .5 miles, YHC decided a little off-roading was in order, but had not properly vetted out the path. No one anticipated a mud ruck, but no one complained. That route is unlikely to be repeated. When all rucking PAX made it back to the starting point we were about .1 miles short of 3 miles. That clearly wouldn’t do so an additional .05 mile out and back was added on. Overall, the average pace was either 15:22 or 15:29 minutes per mile (depending on whose device was referenced).

Side note: Doubletime did not live up to its name today. It shall hereby be known as oneandtwothirdstime.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Run Ranger Run
2. CSAUP Planning in full swing

3. Q Source on Wednesday and Friday

WARM-O-RAMA:
None

THA THANG:
5 mile double time

Avg. pace 7’26” for a distance of 5.04 miles

MARY:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

MOLESKIN:
As I finished my run and began to wait for the ruck group, the worry started to creep in as 6:24 am rolled by (unusually late for a ruck).  I had decided I was calling 911 if they did not show by 6:30, but luckily at 6:25 I heard some chatter and learned of the unfortunate injury to Oatmeal and the miscalculation of distance to be covered in amount of time remaining. I wanted to join the ruck but I will not be able to join on March 2nd, so I figured I would double-time just in case another PAX wanted to run.  Alas, no one did and so I ran All By Myself – an encore to Alright Alright from a few weeks back.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Wednesday night 6:00 pm at Chick-fil-a on Hillcrest
2. I also have a daughter in GS, so let me know if you want some GS cookies.

Kyrie Irving Ankle Breaker

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Icebox, Mile High, Oatmeal, Rump Roast, Sally, Strangler (Nashville)
QIC: Coach K

AO: Flag Pole Hill
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME:

WARM-O-RAMA:
Mumblechatter…might have lost track of time

THA THANG:
Walking, limping, walking some more

MOLESKIN:
Camp Gladiator decided to park in our spots, so we were immediately off to a rough start. Apparently they can’t walk up the hill for their yoga sessions and PAX weren’t too apprecicative of it. YHC tried to jump on the “dissing Camp Gladiator” bandwagon but was quickly shut down and so back to silence YHC went. Icebox tried to be supportive of the talkative (albeit extremely cranky) Q but to no avail.

We started on our march and about .5 miles in, Oatmeal got clipped by a speeding car, which caused him to roll off into the ditch bending his ankle every which way. Not quite that dramatic, but Oatmeal did take a nasty fall. We started rucking back towards the car before AA took off to get a truck (without dropping his weight sack – art of manliness right there).

Once we got Oatmeal situated, the PAX continued their trek where some mistakes in routing were made. We grossly underestimated the distance we could ruck under the time constraints resulting in PAX showing up late to meet up with a legitimately concerned Ina.

Conversation predominately covered the CSAUP event in March, the details of which will be summarized later. You definitely won’t want to miss this. The other hot topic was, per usual, YHC’s level of grumpiness. As Splash would say, YHC needs to find a girlfriend. With any luck, the spark made with a girl in the chip aisle at Kroger pre-Cowboys game on Saturday will ignite something (#backblast for Teasip per request).

Pray for Oatmeal and for a quick recovery. Hope it felt worse than it actually was, and power to him for walking an extra quarter mile with a weight vest.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. CSAUP event planning in the works; 03/02 Texas Independence Day
2. Run Ranger Run sign ups
3. Q source groups meet Wednesday night and Friday at lunch (see preblasts)

Doubletime 2019

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Chairman Mao, Isaiah, Mile High
QIC: Pepper

AO: Flag Pole Hill

WARM-O-RAMA:
None, straight to running

THA THANG:
5 miles over two loops

AlrightAlright – 7.15
Mile High 7.22

MOLESKIN:
First mile pace of 7.08 with most PAX grouped together. YHCs mutt was non compliant, so I DNF full 5, and got only 3.5 miles in. Chairman and Isaiah did not track their pace but were not too far behind.

Mutt Ruck and Dribble Ball

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: F150, Icebox, Ina
QIC: Coach K

AO: Flag Pole Hill

THA THANG:
We walked places. Did some squats. Pace was 16:28 if I heard correctly, but PAX are welcome to correct me.

MOLESKIN:
Kicked off with a couple of Parkey jokes. Glad he finally won the Eagles a game. Lots of college basketball talk this morning as YHC didn’t have his public accounting PIC. Discussed the new NFL rule where colleges can restrict access to their coaches (Kingsbury the first to get slapped with this). Mentioned light up sneakers making a comeback. Maverick out and about despite low T from his operation.

MOLESKIN:
PAX discussed Christmas happenings, OU’s impressive showing again the Crimson Tide on Saturday, Nick Saban’s expected pension benefits ($2.4M/year as a public employee, not a bad gig if you can get it), ND & OU being trolled on Twitter, and other bowl happenings.  F150 also got half a ruck’s worth of public accounting talk from YHC and Coach K.  Definitely worth the price of admission!!

How many layers is too many?

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Ant Man (and Eli), Rump Roast, Candy Land, Alright Alright, Sally (and Roxie)
QIC: Mile High

AO: Flag Pole Hill

Perfect weather for a MuttRuckMonday. Some PAX started off with many layers, erring on the side of warmth. This decision came to be regretted after the first 1/2 mile. Typical rucking mumblechatter ranging from jack russell terriers’ aptitude for rabbit hunting to the apparent demise of the other workout at Flag Pole Hill. Candy Land decided to finish off the last 100(ish) yards with a jog back which spurred AlrightAlright to challenge him. Candy Land won out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. The website is funded.
2. Oatmeal started an F3 Dallas team for Run Ranger Run in February. Refer to the chat on band for more information.
