It was cold, wet, and miserable. Eight dedicated men showed up to celebrate the birthday of the centurion. YHC must admit, I would not have posted if I had not already requested to Q.

• Running the stairs at Panera offered a bit of relief from the downpour, but trudging through the lower practice fields proved to be a #soggybottomboys remix. #NASTYNASTYNASTY
• T-claps to those who have been a part the past year at #Centurion, it has been an honor growing this site and watching each man become stronger in body and soul! – Runstopper
Escargot;
T-claps to Runstopper for assisting with access to the solid location that is the Centurion.
T-claps to Chelms for keeping the Centurion going through all my time on IR.
T-claps to all the Centurion pax for stepping up and continuing to throw new twists to our pain.
I look forward to the year to come. Aye!
4 Brave pax fought their way out of the fart sack to post this morning. YHC warmed up on his own by freeing a sad clown’s car from grips of the snow and ice.

YHC may have called it a few minutes early, but nobody complained.
Very short COT with one 4 pax.
Discussion began about where to get breakfast and 2F. Unfortunately Mighty Mite had to remind YHC to close with the ball of man.
The Q was obviously winging it this morning, not knowing what the conditions were going to allow. It was great to get out of the house and get some 1st and 2nd F. Very humbling for the Q to come in last for most exercises #onmywayback.
Aye!
25 Men showed up to close out there work week and deposit a hefty downpainment.

Moleskin:
YHC was confused by the lack of mumble chatter about 10 Burpees per minute for 10 minutes. Probably just as confused as the Pax was by doing 10 merkins per minute for 10 minutes. Problem was quickly resolved. Burpees are even more deflating when RunStopper finishes them in half the time. #rediculus
Welcome FNG “Gutter Ball”, solid name. Hope to see you in the gloom again soon.
It is great to be back with the pax and I feel fortunate be able to lead once again. With that being said, it is time for some of the pax to start stepping up for your first Q. I am happy to split the workout with any of you, as will many of the other seasoned Q’s. It is not as difficult as it might seem, you will actually wonder why you had waited so long in the first place. I will be setting up a online Q sheet soon.
Check the website and weekly email for new workout locations, events, and information.
Aye!

Escargot:
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the luanch! We will acquire the keys to the stadium for more pain soon.
I will speak for the Pax when I say, “things that happen at GORUCK should stay at GORUCK” (belly crawls).
Going to be looking for Qs to help out especially while Chelms is at Q school. Email me if you are interested: seth@doerreconstruction.com
RunStopper:
T-Claps to Geraldo who took a stuntman type fall on the sprints and rolled and got back up in stride!!! Abacus looked like he had just played a game of rugby at the end. Callaway was an absolute pansy on the belly crawls!!!
Assistant principle thought we were Seniors at CCHS pulling a crank, since there was no school today! To our relieve he did not call security or the POPO on us.
Run stopper was reliving the GORUCK Challenge, by channeling Cadre Dan to make everyone get on the ground and belly crawl, and when people were cheating… turnaround and start over! Truly epic #painment
Quote of the morning from RunStopper: ‘Jack called me this morning, before the workout and Runstopper said jack who? He said Jack Webb; NOW GET ON YOUR KNEES’.
