Another sticky morning in the QC as four brothers stepped up to the mic for what would be a talkative and fast paced speedRuck adventure.
0513 - Snoop rolls in hot to make three pax for the launch at 0515. Around the corner towards the back entrance, a black truck pulls up, out jumps Baby Jesus to complete the foursome.
0520 - Greetings everyone and welcome to the #RobotCircus. Let's grind out another hill and discuss off the wall, off the chart and over the top subjects. To appease no one but ourselves the chatter flowed out of our mouths like a cool mountain stream into a tranquil, misty waterfall.
0530 - my solar powered Garmin watch vibrates as we hit the 1 mile marker. The shovel flag flows in the wind and Dredd flips his mace around like a whip. The 15 pound #DonkeyDick he calls it was a little slippery with sweat as he passed it to me for a little twirl of my own. It’s all making sense now.
0545 - A vibrating wrist signals mile number 2 and thank God we moved through all the football talk and the college coaching fanatical buzz words that means nothing to me. We press onward and agree that men are men and women are women and they should stay in their own swim lane in the pool. We can twirl and dance, kiss and love but at the end of the day men are men and women remain women. No need to mix, no need to change. All agree we must orientate ourselves daily to the reality of the wacky society that we live in.
0600 - mile number 3 in the books and our rucks are getting heavier by the minute as we grind out Sherwood Hill. YHC takes a tap on Baby Jesus’ ruck. “Your ruck looks like it’s packed to the brim with some type of dirt or sand?” “Filled with pure pool salt!”, Baby Jesus explains. “Great!”, I cheered. “May need to take a hit if I start feeling lightheaded from all this sweating in the morning gloom.” “Whatever I can do to help Snoop!” says Baby Jesus. I love that man: Baby Jesus, truly one of a kind.
0615 - we hit the back steps with a fast gait trying to close the gap on a record-setting pace at this morning’s #SpeedRuck. Solid COT and our conversations continued until we were all tired of looking at each other. The morning gloom turned to light and we all noticed each other‘s hair loss including Dredd’s eyebrows that seemed a little thinner. It reinforced the fact that #FatherTime is always pressing down upon you. Take what you can each day and reflect on what you can do better the next day.
0645 - McPants and Baby Jesus depart. The Two remaining knuckleheads: YHC and Dredd are standing face-to-face, shirtless and sweating. We laugh at the silly jokes we can come up with in the moment and continue working on our #UncleGarySeyz metaphors for the new-world-order to devour some day…
