  7 PAX met up at 5:30 to start a 10 mile ruck at the Posh. 4 of us were there on time…Meter Maid had technical difficulties and couldn’t get out of his house, so Airplane being a true HIM, swooped by and grabbed him on the way. In typical Momma’s Boy fashion, he cameContinueContinue reading “1/6 Backblast- “Stranger Danger” Ruck”

Calling all Pax

Calling on all PAX. Please! The charity for the banquet is the Boys and Girls Club. Similar to F3, kids that use the Boys and Girls make a choice every day to go.

BackBlast – #theBridge @Poshlands 11/21/18 Abacus Q

BackBlast – 10.20.18: Meter Maid VQ at the Fog

I learned two thing from this Q: (1) Recon during the actual time frame you plan to lead and (2) get better at cadence counts. I had planned to use the egg lawn for station work but the lack of light led me to move one of my exercise locations. I had parked around theContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – 10.20.18: Meter Maid VQ at the Fog”

The Fog (Army PFT) Back Blast 9/29

Perfect fall morning 5 PAX – Huggies (Q), PK, Meter Maid, Hot Wheels, Gypsy The turn out was much lower than I expected.

9.21.18 Ruck Training Back Blast

Just like yesterday’s pre-blast, I plan to keep this simple as well. Sometimes I spend to much time overthinking a workout when most of the time the simplest ideas get the best results.
