Introduction
Out in the heat with 16 MEN, rucking it up!
Warm-O-Rama
Arm circles, high plank calf stretches, and good mornings.
The Thang
Lead a great group of 16 in a 90° heat on a pm ruck with a decent (15-18 min pace) from the Flags at El Coyote first pavilion into the woods on the pavement with shade and a decent breeze and mumblechatter, then back into the sun once in Settler’s Park and over the bridge to return back towards the flags. Once back to the flags, we dodged Cub Scouts doing experiments, DNA Run clubbers, and passer throughs. Our local scouts so kindly reset our flags multiple times due to the 15+ mph warm southwesterly breeze.
Circle of Trust
COT was a reminder to stay not just hydrated but PREHYDRATE during these Midwestern heatwaves. Keep a watchful eye on your pee making sure it’s clear to light yellow. Also discussed keeping your head on a swivel to not allow yourself, family, and friends to become a victim of the senseless insanity going on in Chicago and other urban environments around this great nation. Born and raised on the Southside of the city, it’s just not the same. Be aware of your surroundings.
Naked Man Moleskin
Just want to thank all of you that have supported me and had back since my beginning with all of you men on December 16, 2023! We will all get stronger together.
