11 men gathered around the old shovel flag in Ballentine Park for their weekly, hour-long funfest, this time under the direction of yours truly. Friday night, YHC tweeted out a warning/invitation for anyone willing to don their rucks with me as it would be a “ruck friendly” workout. I’m not sure who would want to be friends with a loaded ruck, but after that workout, I’m sure that all takers don’t want to be friends with me.
