10 brave souls gathered in the early morning gloom unsure of what was coming. Right turn? Left turn? Forrest Gump? Wolfpack Grinder? No burpees (after Friday it should have been a burpee free zone)

LBC’s X 19
Imperial Walkers X 18
Freddie Mercury’s X 18

Mosey to Lineberger Park Flag Circle for Station 3 – Partner up for 1 – 2 – 3
Combined with partner: 100 Merkins, 200 Mountain Climbers, 300 Flutter Kicks
While first partner starts exercises, other runs/walks/skips/moseys up to the top of the steps by pool and returns and switches off. (This looked better on paper)

Dips X 22

Derkins X 11
Flutter Kicks X 20
Mosey back to Flag Circle for Station 5 – Ring of Fire
5 Merkins followed by 10 LBC’s
Mosey back to the Church for Station 6 (Hozier – Take me to Church)
Stroganoff’s attempt at planking was disturbed by Whoopee’s personal space rule breaking. Stroganoff could only look away.
Station 6 (IC)
Merkins X 12 (Again, Whoopee pushed the limits with his awkward space issues causing the Q to stumble through the cadence – but he perservered)
Flutter Kicks X 25 (We think)
Monkey Humpers X 10
5 Burpees OYO (I know, this was supposed to be a burpee free day…..Dolph wore down the Q until he relented)
Mosey back to basecamp.
The Q suspects the group moseyed close to 2.5 miles…..just because Forrest felt like it.
Name-o-rama and prayer requests. Prayer pays dividends as a good report from Feelgood concerning Outhouse’s daughter (T-Claps) and continued prayers as T-Square continues the new career search.
Prayers and thanks go out to each one of you for the motivation you put forth for the Q today. I am grateful and honored to lead the group and hope the time was both well spent and somewhat difficult. It was time well spent for me.
Until next time…..Aye!!
Stroganoff
