Concrete Blocks at the Beast
GrowRuck inspired many things. One of which was this beatdown. On a fateful Friday morn, in preparation for GTE24, Swanson, Cuz (was late), and I threw on 60+ lb packs grabbed a concrete coupon each and began making laps up and down the parking deck of ER. It was tough, hot, and I was totally […]
ABBB’n
A — always B — be B — back B — blastin’ You get the picture? You laughing now? Only one thing counts in this life…write a backblast. You write a BB or you hit the bricks. A – attention I – interest D – decision A – action Do I have your attention? Are […]
Call It What You Want
Like any morning as the alarm goes off, you have to ask yourself, “should I stay or should I go now?” Then you get up anyway because you want to better yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. As I’m doing my normal prep to get out the door I get a question from a brother in […]
Here So I Don’t Get Fined
I never would have thought me and Marshawn Lynch would have things in common. Sure, we are freak athletes and amazing at what we do. Yes, we both love candy (he just likes Skittles, I like everything chocolate). Most of all, we show when we have to, so we don’t get in trouble. One could […]
97%humidity. Almost 100
After earthquakes, tornadoes and rain and rain yesterday, four guys came out for a 97 percent humidity run. The run was a down and up type run Norwood to Mulberry to the Kentwood neighborhood to College to Harper. I instructed the 3 seven minute milers to go after it as me the q woke up […]
Just a little drizzle
With the forecast of rain wasn’t sure what size group we would have. However these guys are committed and we had 7 men for the workout. Started with the usual warmups ( side straddle hops, storm troopers, humpys). Then one round of circle merkins clockwise and then circle merkins counter clockwise. Next a mosey to […]
ARROW vs OG
I am late writing this and to be honest, I forgot the other 19 guys who posted. Important note – write BB as soon as possible so you can remember! I was put on the Q schedule for two AOs so I asked the ARROW pax to roam a little bit. I was surprised to […]
GROWRUCK24
It’s been a couple of days since the Dutch Baby was laid to rest softly at the feet of the Blue Platoon. As the weight was lowered, Twenty Four men who came together for an “event” shared exhausted smiles, a few speechless hugs, and a deeper understanding of who they were. YHC, is not a […]
Return of the Oddball
YHC goes to bed early most nights and received notice that he was scheduled to Q at Expresso at 0’dark-thirty this morning. It’s all good though. He had to think about the workout a little bit but already knew what he would say in COT, as it has weighed on his mind lately. After a […]
It’s Time
There was a call for a substi-Q and I accepted the challenge and attempted to think of a way to be creative. I’m not wired like that my mind kept going back to Time. We measure it on a watch, calendar, season, etc but in the end a day is still 24 hours long for […]
