The PAX of Rogue went on the normal Thursday “4 Mile Pre-Coffeeteria” run. All paces are always welcome but especially on Thursdays. Did someone ask why?

Lots of trash talking occurred prior to the inaugural #BATTLE Garent vs. Orange challenge. At F3 events, score isn’t kept and we’re here to encourage and push one another.

After warm up (SSH, arm circles, squats, slow jog to front of the school) six pax broke out the F3 workout card deck. Divide into two teams and play the classic game of War. By the end of the exercise, the teams were actually evenly matched, so both did the same number of cool-down squats. …
Despite the usual grumblings, 9 men (was almost 10) saw this morning’s conditions as a great opportunity to get up before dawn and get in a little exercise.

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder and YHC had been about as distant from #Castle as you can get living half a mile from the AO. Sure, been poking around #ChainGang, #Scramble, and even a post at #Hammer but showing no love for the homeboys. It was great to return as Q; the …

Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in a manner akin to drinking water from a fire hydrant.
