Introduction
Replacing Run Club at DT this week with Ruck Club, just for the ruck of it. Leaving the Run Club option on the table for those who feel like they really need to run. Since there’s a BD Run Club option on Wednesday, and virtually every other day has a run club, this felt right.

Good Mornings
Imperial Walkers
The Thang
Out and back Ruck down the riverwalk, traveling north. Runners made it the dam(north of Ogden) and back, about 4 miles total. Ruckers made it past Wil-O-Way Park while doing PT every 5 minutes on the way. Alternating stops, we did 10 Merkins with Ruck or 20 squats. On the final stop at 5:50, we did both 10 Merkins and 20 Squats, then worked back to AO for Mary.
Mary: American Hammers until 6 AM.
Circle of Trust
Story about prioritizing kindness over achievements. It is better to be remembered as the kind person who held the door for somebody, helped a stranger in need, etc. than to be the best athlete or smartest person. Kind acts are imitated by those who witness(especially our children and younger ones) and make the world a better place. Go be kind and do good.
Prayers for Turner’s family as his 2.0 goes through surgery on Friday and begins his long recovery.
Naked Man Moleskin
Great mumble-chatter from the Ruck PAX. This was a long week for me at work, and the F2 fellowship lifted me up to get through the week. Thanks for all who came out!
