Introduction
PRE-BLAST — THE COMPLEX Ruck Club — Thu July 15 @ 5:15 am – 6:0ish am
@channel Wow what a day for options in F3 Naperville, a BR Run Club, Broga in a corn field, Wet Wipe, Toady, C-Bus in a box and don’t even get me started on BH taking the BD to TB. Anyway with all that AND a Ruck Club at The Complex there is no excuse for you to not get out and get after it tomorrow.
…When last we saw our intrepid explorers they had just crossed the path and where heading nor…wes…east…ish into the woods. This week we will again be exploring the paths through the woods in search of more great views, some sweat and a little bit of mumblechatter along the way. So grab your bag, vest, heavy sweater, California tax code book or whatever weighs you down, HC in the thread and join us for the next episode of “A Ruck Into The Woods”

The Thang
For this adventure we explored a slightly different path. We enterted the woods just west of the left field corner of field #4.
We worked our way to the bridge and stopped for a quick round of 6 Tempo Merkins (on my down, stay down, on my up, stay up, with roughly a 6 count in between. Super fun with 30 pounds strapped to your back.
We continued back across, through the field around and back
Again we ran out of time and had to shuffle the last half mile or so to get back on time.
With wet pavement we decided to do standing Stargazers.
Circle of Trust
The best part about rucking is the ability to get your heart rate up and get some exercise while keeping a steady conversational flow of Mumble chatter. Thank to the men who came out today to ruck with me.
PRAYER:
Dear God,
Thank you for this day, thank you for keeping the rain (mostly) away
Thank you for these men who came out to get better toegher and to share some time together.
We ask that you bless these men and bring them back again sopon.
Amen
Naked Man Moleskin
I swear this time I was trying to get us back on time. And technically 2 of us did make it on time.
Also I was not planning on any PT but Turner asked if we need our gloves and the Butthead in me thought, “ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!?!!?” So obviously I added a little PT to the mix.
Tempo Merkins were just the ticket.
