   8/15/17 Back Blast

   28 brave souls showed up to give the Mogadishu Mile a try. The PAX traversed roughly 2 miles through the campus of St. Joseph School with a variety of coupons (GORUCK talk for heavy stuff). Two 40 lb sandbags, two thirty pound dumbbells, a 55 lb curl bar and two 45 lb plates provided extra fun. To add to the excitement, at any given time ⅕ of the PAX was a casualty that needed to be carried by their fellow F3ers. This forced PAX members to carry their companions on their backs or shoulders. And if a PAX member wasn’t carrying a person, there was a pretty good chance they were carrying an additional ruck or weight.

   Every quarter mile or so the PAX stopped do some PT. Flutter kicks, Merkins, squats and situps (all with rucks) got everyone’s heart pumping. A 50 yard bear crawl to push through to the finish put a smile on everyone’s faces.

   PAX present were:
   Mr. Belding
   Box
   Spring
   Ollie
   Chiles
   Mayor
   Leia
   Macchio
   Wake
   Hustle
   Splinter
   Mailman
   Kitty
   Scrooge
   Bluto
   Klinger
   Colonel
   Cogsworth
   Honeymoon
   Mickey
   Modell
   Trapeze
   Pixar
   Dauber
   Willie
   El Chapo

   FNG Hacksaw was named. Oddly enough, his naming became somewhat contentious due to Mickey and The Colonel’s unhealthy fixation with the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Don’t worry Hacksaw. Belding has your back.

   Prayer intentions were offered up for Cooter’s father, folks in Charlottesville, VA, The Colonel and his family (they will be travelling) and Mark Forgach.

   As always, it was an honor and a privilege to workout with you guys. I hope you guys had some fun and got a little workout in as well. Sorry for the late blast. It’s been a busy day.
