Always Awkward In the UC

As always it’s a dangerous thing to go reading Twitter, especially when Happy is begging for q’s. But as I had to bow out of my q a few weeks ago, and Happy and the other UC pax have supported our launch of Mint Hill, I shouldn’t really complain now should I?

The Murph is a workout named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. He was 29, of Patchogue, N.Y. Lt Murphy was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor after his death. The workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it ‘Body Armor.

I posted at the Metro convergence yesterday and we did a modified Murph, and I liked it a lot and thought it was easily modified for us ruckers (or backpackers as Horsehead likes to say). So we did sort of the following:

10 – Merkins
20 – Squats
30 – LBC (modify for ruck if needed)

Rinse and repeat several times until the q gets tired.

Next up we had some time for fun with rucks!

We played Pass The Ruck and Squat, Squat and Hold With the Ruck and finally Tunnel of Love (with the ruck).

There was much rejoicing from the pax when Tunnel of Love was called. Music to my ears!

I always feel a lot more accomplished this time of year surviving workouts in the hothouse of the Carolinas in the summer. It doesn’t seem right to not sweat like a large woman walking around an amusement park on the border of two states that may or may not rhyme with Sparolina.

Awesome job by all the pax out there. Always amazed and humbled by Lamont and Shepherd’s tenacity and strength. I’m gonna be like them when I grow up. Or at least I hope so.

Glass Joe was complaining, so I know I was doing something right.

Thanks for the chance to lead and keep rocking in the free world (aka Union County).

DT out.

Things you say at F3 and not outside of F3 to dudes: Let’s do a tunnel of love.

Hoodie literally pulls up and jumps out running to lead the group. Not sure if he put it in park or not.

Both site Qs were there. My theory on them being the same person has been ruined now.

Shepherd decides on about the 4th circuit to force Short Circuit and I to run faster. Well done sir!

Lamont is clearly warming up to our playlists as he was appreciating Metallica. Next step is Thrash and then Death Metal and we’ll have him permanently hooked.

Sorry for insulting several respects by asking if Tom Petty was still alive. He does come up on my Pink Floyd Pandora station when I was some easy listening.

That’s a nice bathroom out there that is unlocked which is helpful.

And we apparently got noticed by a Sheriff this morning. Hate I walked up late on that or I might have mentioned we were planning a tunnel of love…….

Must have been a new cop/sheriff for him to say he didn’t know we met there, we have been out there about a year and a half now.

Other notable quotes this morning…

1. “Don’t mess up Spidey”
2. “Don’t mess up my ruck” – Which I thought was funny because in 45 minutes we didn’t touch the amount of abuse that thing got in 2 GORCUK events. Unless it was specifically related to quote #1 above.

3. “He is a 3 minute man”
4. “more like a 30 minute man”
I don’t remember the context but seemed fitting for me to throw out the…
“That’s what she said”

As to which is better between 3 & 4? That all depends on the topic.

Of note, if my 16 year anniversary trip goes well, can I count it for F3_250? Scared to ask on Twitter.

Hair Band

Depends, 3 minute man or 30 mi… nevermind. #TooFarIsARealPlace

That line over there, we just completely jumped right over it. I’m hoping to take the lead in F3_250 after this weekend……

This conversation is making me literally LOL in the dentist waiting room as I wait for Bellyflop to get done.

DT had no idea what he started by naming this Awkward in The UC, or maybe he just knows us that well.

Glass Joe

He knows very well we will respond. We are like Pavlov’s dogs to Awkward.

BTW, any hallucinogenic drugs that would make someone think it’s raining even when it’s perfect outside? You know, just in case and stuff
