I forgot my ruck sack to the ruck sack workout

Leave a comment

The Thang
We rucked about 1.5 miles stopping for 10 rep exercises of OH press, curls, tris, chest press, abs, squats, and calf raises. We discussed our best sporting events and fun with parenting.

The theme was the Boy Scout motto Be Prepared. I lugged a bell around as my ruck sack slept at home. By making it painful, I will remember it next time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: sign up the cannoli Run
