Miles and Merkins
All Rolling Stone BackblastsApril 4th, 2018
At 0530, with perfect temperature and a gentle breeze: 8 PAX were evenly divided among runners and ruckers. After DISCLAIMER, both groups headed down the greenway.
THE THANG
As the runners passed, the ruckers (YHC, Bos, Sugar and Project) halted and did 5 merkins IC, then hit the bridge and did 5 derkins IC and then went to the end of the bridge and did 5 more derkins IC and rucked to the next bridge and then did 5 merkins. It continued like this until we could log 100 for the merkin challenge and reach the end of the greenway.
The ruckers hurried back and found out that the runners had scattered with Golden Boy and Jimmy Buffet peeling off to head home.
Co’T
There was a threat of a storm so CoT was a little hectic. Also, Project was circling us to make the 2.8 ruck miles an even 3.0 on Strava.

MOLESKIN
Pretty much everyone had reflective gear on today. Very well done.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. – Matthew 5:14-16

Great morning for a jog- can’t call our pace today a run, but good to start getting back into the Wednesday groove!
