Just a lil’ GoRuck prepping
With the Veteran’s Day GR Tough fast approaching, we thought it would me good to have some extra ruck based training. So we turned a Saturday Convergence into a GoRuck bootcamp. Muggy Tape and Kenwood put together some ideas and made it happen. Argyle’s work schedule got in the way this time (we’ll have to …

Campaign Q #16: Wander
It’s a new week and at least 7 of us have perfect attendance so far. Some ran, some threw on some weight, others just walked. We saw a deer get hit on Cola Ave. Other than that, Wander was great. Enjoyed the fellowship, men. Conditions: 70 degrees The Thang: Disclaimer Count off BOM Not sure …
3 Checkpoint Star Course
I figured I’d do another Star Course edition this morning. I did this almost a year ago on a Sunday with 4 checkpoints and it went pretty good.

From fartsack to Q
YHC has had a tough time waking up on Monday mornings as of late and usually settles on a 5:45 neighborhood run. Saturday I saw Pop Off at the convergence and he asked when I’d be back to Wander, to which I kind of mumblechuckled but made no commitment. Then Sunday afternoon, we had a …
Left here, Mercy
Motivated by something, 10 of us posted at Wander this AM. Personally, work and personal travel has kept YHC out of the gloom for 2 weeks. It was good to get back out among some of the finest men this town has to offer. Thankfully, Mercy Rule didn’t get us lost. Conditions: 61 degrees The Thang: …
Guess who’s back
As you, dear reader, may or not be aware, almost a year ago, YHC was enjoying a nice ruck at Wander when I came upon a patch of black ice. This caused my legs to comically fly out from beneath me while the weight of my ruck carried me to the ground. The final result …
Rucks On, Rucks Off, and Rucks On Again
YHC took the reigns of Wednesday morning Wander again and decided to try something different. 7 pax beat the fartsack to brave the cold and wind. Welcome, Disclaimer, BOM Weather: 45ish degrees and windy The Thang: The Pax started out like normal, rucking down main street. When we arrived at the 9/11 memorial we circled up …

So…
So on Friday DriSoket posted on Wander’s message board that he and Argyle had a 4 mile route planned for Sunday (today) that would start at 5:00. So last night YHC confirmed that they were starting at 5:00 (since Sunday is typically a 5:30 start). So DriSoket confirmed with a “yes sir”. Then the AOQ …
Star Course Sunday at Wander
With all the chatter yesterday around the GoRuck Star Course event in Charlotte, FOMO was definitely in the air. So YHC decided to Q at Wander and make it Star Course themed.

A couple PAX get wet at Wander
YHC had the Q today and chose to preview the SAFE Lexington route. We managed to get 2 laps in while it drizzled on and off. Of course the weather cleared just in time to do the COT. The route looked ready for all the runners this upcoming week. Don’t forget to sign up to …
Those Rucking Coupons
Dearest Martha, I am overcome with joy at the opportunity to write to you once again. While this time away from you tears at my heart, it strengthens me to know that you are waiting for me and longing for my ****REDACTED****. Honestly, I was beginning to worry that this was not …
Wander with Porpoise
YHC grabbed up one of two open seats at the upcoming F3 The Fort “Dark Side of the Moon” Heavy, so it’s time to get to work.

Where’s Waldo route at Wander
Figuring my legs could use a little motivation the day after the P200, I chose to Q at Wander. It definitely helped get the blood flowing. I chose a 3.5 mile route with a lot of turns and named it the “Where’s Waldo” route. We looked but never found Waldo. Weather: cool, 40s. disclaimer, prayer …
Pretty Good Gettin Better
Banjo & Bar Crawl’s Excellent Adventure – Chapter 6! Some time after the 2nd Butler Hill I learned that me and Bar Crawl actually lived in – and left Tiger Town at the same time. Turns out he was the “other” 27 y/o at the bar… just a different one. All this time, I knew …
Make Wander Pretty Good Again
OK so Banjo & Bar Crawl’s Excellent Adventure – Chapter 5! It’s been thin in the Icehouse Amphitheater lot this year – even more so the last few weeks. Good chance folks are flatbackin’ or speed-ruckin’ for the P200 so it will level back out, I’m sure. You may not push your limits and certainly …
Like a Rolling Stone
YHC was pretty pumped about all 5 lights being green on the way in this AM. Only slightly disappointed to find the Icehouse lot empty… not for loneliness or jealousy of the fartsackers, but because he wasted a rare on-time arrival. Banjo and the baby seal made the best of their time together – flipping …
4 Post to Wander for drizzly stroll
4 Pax post to Wander on what looked like it could be rainy but was only a drizzle. Bar Crawl (recovering from the ice patch) and Ranger took the lead while Half Sack and Banjo did the harder thing by carrying around the “baby seal” with their rucks for some extra pleasure. The route was …
A lil’ out-n-back with PT at Wander
A few days ago the Wander AOQ threw out some open dates. YHC decided to pick up the Q this morning. Partly to fill the slot, and partly because I need some more Bragg prep. The 3 mile route was intentionally a shorter out-n-back route so that we could get in some PT midway. Here …
Banjo & BarCrawl’s Excellent Adventure Part IV
2 PAX met by the steaming heap of sweet sweet yard mulch and MAN it was steamin today. Only three working shoulders found between them, so baby seal was left behind.

A Chilly Morning at Wander
The AOQ put out a call for PAX to fill out the Q sheet so YHC grabbed the first available spot which wound up being today. Two dedicated PAX joined YHC for a frigid, not quite out and back to Books a Million that wound up running about 8 minutes long. Glad they were there …
Wander gets introduced to the Rings-o-Fire Farmer’s Carry
YHC had the Q today and didn’t want to let the PAX down by not bringing toys. So I implemented an idea I had been thinking about for a while. A quick trip to the hardware store for some small chain and clamps, plus my two 45# ruck plates and 2 rings (whatever you call …
