So YHC had the bright idea to Q several workouts in a short timeline before a planned IR spell. Seemed great on paper, right. Note to self…make sure you’re in proper shape before trying to keep up with the bat flippers.

This morning I woke up with an unfortunate crick in my neck that was just a pain…in my neck. And my back too. Guess this getting old thing is real. Only answer is to keep pushing the rock as much as possible. With that said, let’s do this.

The PAX was waiting on my and although not late I cut it close once again. No worries, all is ready.

No FNGs. No disclaimer. No warmup. Let’s mosey!

We didn’t get far around the corner before YHC noticed the library which seemed to have a better parking lot than that God forsaken piece of asphalt at the middle school.

It’s time for 11’s! On one side Dips, mosey to the other side for WW1 Sit Ups (I think). Bear crawl back to the other side and repeato until the numbers are swapped.

Mosey down the dark street to Main Street. We found a flag and paused for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Route 66 is next up. We did Bobby Hurley’s at each place a car could enter. To get to the sufficient number of reps in we had to cross the railroad tracks into uncharted territory headed north. Apparently this are a of Mount Holly carries a pretty significant amount of traffic at 5:45 on a Monday and the intersection, while provided with crossing signals, is pretty hairy. We practiced safety first this time and all made it across in one piece. YHC made sure of this by calling for a count off after we stopped (this was the first count off, Q fail).

Mosey around the back of the big church to the parking lot in front of the garden. Here we did Four Corners Escalator.

  • Corner 1 – 10 Merkins
  • Corner 2 – 10 Merkins + 20 Squats
  • Corner 3 – 10 Merkins + 20 Squats + 30 Flutterkicks
  • Corner 4 – 10 Merkins + 20 Squats + 30 Flutterkicks + 40 Mountain Climbers

We did two rounds of this and then took time for a photo opp in front of the beautiful painting of the sun beside the garden. Gotta stop and smell the roses sometimes fellas.

Mosey back through traffic to the elementary school for a wrap up of some Mary. I think we got in 4 different choices by the PAX before we had to get back to the middle school. Time

Plenty of prayer requests that may be obsolete by now. The Lord knows our needs and he is good to provide.

Same for announcements. Many of the same, lots of running coming up and the convergence on the 21st.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead men. Keep pushing that rock!
