Winter is trying to hold out for a few more weeks but it looks like she is starting to waiver as I noticed more pax opting for shorts and t-shirts and leaving their winter coats at home. Today it was around 56 with impending rain but that did not stop us and never would. We had six join in for the morning Ruck as we raced around the Locker trying to avoid The Mole on his morning run. I would like to apologize to my fellow Rucker’s, apparently, I need to step up the Pre-Beat down Ruck because everyone has this newfound need to run at the end of our workout. I will take the hint people, I will step up my game and make sure you are all adequately challenged during the Ruck moving forward, this one is on me.
I would like to give a shout out to Smurfette from The Paragon who joined us this morning.
