Four posted for the pre-Thanksgiving Punisher offering. Short mosey off the pavement and into the grass for COP with a few of our favorites. Resume mosey and complete a Lindsay. Follow that with a round of 11s. Continue with a little wall work. Additional mosey minutes built into the program along with some rounds of Merkins. Find grass again for a bit of stretching and COT. Hope everyone had a fine holiday.

This Friday evening we are launching a ruck out of the Hoedown AO at 8pm. This event is open to anyone interested in a brisk, weighted 90-minute hike through the surrounding neighborhoods.

The Pax will leave the AO with empty rucks and visit F3 houses in the Tuckahoe nano-region to pick up any canned items that you wish to donate. If you are within a three-mile range of Hoedown and want to be on our…
