Fields of Joy

21 Men posted at Kevlar a solid mix of newer guys with some OG’s from back in the day where Bulldog Q’ed just about every single one of these workouts.

The Thang:
Run around the block to Aldi – where according to Horsehead they have good generic soda. Circle up.

Merkins x 20 IC
Low Slow Squats x 15 IC
Diamond Merkins x 10 IC
Mountain Climbers x 20 IC
Wide Arm Merkins x 10 IC. Or Right are Merkins if you had interest in those.

Mosey out to 51 and across the street to the SOAR fields. Gather in the center of the soccer field for four corners.

Round 1: Run to each corner and back to center. 1st corner do 10 Merkins and 5 burpees in the middle. Repeat with 20, 30, then 40 Merkins.
Round 2: 25 Flutters (each leg) at each corner. 15 old school sit-ups in the middle.
Round 3: Same as Round 1 but Jump Squats in the corners
Round 4: 25 Dollies at each corner. 15 Heels to Heaven in the middle.
Round 5: Backwards run to each corner, forwards run to the middle. No exercise in corners or middle

Mosey back to launch, dodging cars along the way.
Time.

Moleskine:
With the school campus under construction it was easier to get some space across the street at the park. The turf out there was perfect and had a few yearning for the plush fields and cushy track at Joust. But we can’t all hang out where the fancy rich kids play.

Probably close to the biggest crowd at Kevlar since we started back in January. Banana’s came because he thought we were going to throw rocks at each other. Puddin’ Pop put on his special grey t-shirt for the event. Busch posted for the first time at Kevlar this year, and he came back-logged with 3+ months of stuff to talk about. Young Love made a triumphant return post knee surgery #Kotters. Crotch Rocket joined the exodus of Metro guys to the South CLT ‘burbs this past year. Good to have you out and if you live that close to Tiger Rag see if you can drag him back out.

Lot’s a chatter and complaints about the Aldi parking lot, but that was some fairly nice and smooth pavement.

And by the way, if you are interested in where the gold lies, check the treasure map on the Strava stream. X marks the spot.

Thanks to Squid for the take out.

Always and honor to lead this group.

Strong Q Alf. That was a great way to kick my Friday off. Running, foreign territory, old friends, and optional exercises . . . .the total package.

I nailed Radar in the eye with a sidearm throw early and he left before we sprinted to Aldi. I thought we were gonna get after it???
