Black Friday Ruck

This morning, YHC woke up and discovered that the time for the Ruck had been altered, so to eliminate any confusion, a message was sent to Frosted for clarification. 6:15 start it was, and YHC was asked to step up and lead the Ruck, as Frosted’s 2.0’s were having a rough night, which was a no brainer. Hope they are feeling better now bro!

YHC posted at the Stampede to get a quick 5k in before traveling over to the AB Circle. On the way, 2 ruckers were spotted coming down the bridge, to which YHC assumed they must have missed the time change and were probably on a gravy high anyway. T-claps to Goodwill and Cole, for teaming up and getting some distance in together.

Holiday and Spinal drove up and YHC figured that this was going to be the PAX for the day, so a quick disclaimer was given and the mission statement and we were off… for about 45 seconds before we saw Rooney come flying in. Turned around to pick him up and then we were off to the Channel Marker.

Back to it. Good conversation was shared today, as the 2nd F was in full form along the way. Over the bridge and a left to circle up by the old draw bridge entrance for

The PAX threw their rucks back on and headed back to the Channel Marker to gather on the back side for

Back towards the Circle with a detour to check out the height of the Crab Pot Christmas Trees as YHC’s M is wanting a few. Around to the cars and with 10 minutes left to go, we continued around and down the back streets over one of the biggest hills on AB. On Holiday’s request, we went over a block and then back around to the cars for a 7:30 Hard Stop.

Altogether today, 4.4 miles were covered by the PAX. After the Burpee fest that had ensued this week, a good Ruck with some awesome fellas was just what the doctor ordered! Just hope you guys don’t get audited by those money hungry guys Spinal and Holiday!

PAX circled up for announcements and prayer led by YHC and then all of us spent some time at Sweet Beans before heading off on our separate ways. Thanks for the Chocolate Milk Rooney! Thanks for letting me lead Frosted!
