14 HIM #RolledOut instead of #RollingOVer on the 2024 Leap Day. After a brief disclaimer we noted 1 FNG–Sergio Franco- Soon to be named quite perfectly XciteBike.

Off we  went headed up the road into the shopping center where opportunity stuck and stairs were found to traverse up and down.  As the legs warmed up the pace quickened for most. Rucking with/beside @Bonzi  really requires a stretching of the stride, and man we were cooking.

Into the apartments for some quick planks as the group caught up then some squats and we were off again.  Back up and down the stairs then shot up over 160 in the office complex.  We had a nice jaunt over to #The-Coachs-Box to say good morning to @Cyclopes &Co. In route  I stopped the train for some over head holds, OH presses, and curls.  As the group filed in a caught up on reps it was time for a quick message.  With Rucks held High- I drew from Tony Dungee’s book Uncommon Life and talked about how Failure while it does suck, ( so does holding a ruck overhead) it does not have to be a big stumbling block for us as Pro’s, Dads, Husbands ect.  We all agreed that we fall into the trap of getting too down in these instances.  What TD reminds us is we can be energized by our failures. The SkyQ made us this way.  Use them as growth and learning opportunities, get energized knowing we won’t make that mistake twice.   AT this point arms began to shake and it was time to roll.

On the move YHC noted a fantastic parking lot and strongly recommended a ruck shuffle from the entry to the 90 degree corner.  Mumble chatter surged, as Duck(s) typically don’t run , but this day I/We did.  Around the corner and Cyclopes &Co were nowhere to be found.  Guess they felt running ruckers converging on them and took Flight.

Around the school and back toward the EndEx.  Across  160 and another Ruck Shuffle through  the Panera Parking Lot. I said 3 medians but ran 4-Noone said Ducks were good at counting , esp while  on the run.

Couple quick laps and little more shuffling and we hit 0600. My watch said 3.63 miles at a 14:46 Avg–Not to Shabby.

Pledge of Allegiance-Announcements, Praises& Prayers.

Great Rucking in the Gloom with these Men.
