Non Denominational Tour
“Twas a beautiful morning to cover 1.8 miles in Historic Downtown Matthews so that’s what we did.
Thang:
Depart Matthews Elementary and head Southwest on Trade St. to Matthews United Methodist Front Yard

IW IC x15
Merkins IC x10
Depart Matthews UMC and head north to Matthews Presbyterian parking lot.
Plank O’ Rama
AYG to the other end of the parking lot, Lunge Walk back
AYG to the other end of the parking lot, Bear Crawl back.
AYG to the other end of the parking lot, count to five, AYG back.
Depart Matthews Presbyterian and roll Southeast to First Baptist of Matthews for core work
LBCs civilian count with several leg position modifications x40
Freddie Mercury IC x8, many of which were quite slow and quite painful
Plank for 60 seconds
Mosey around Matthews Elementary for the wall. We typically use the outside restrooms for the wall but I noticed a staffer walking into the facility as we ran towards it so rather than scare her with arm presses whilst on the toilet we continued around the Matthews Community Center and ended up back at FBC’s to utilize their brick structure.
People’s Chair w/arm pressis Civilian Count x60
People’s Chair passing Geraldo’s ruck down down 25 pax x4
Circle up and knock out a couple of stretches including extended Runner’s Lunge.
Moleskine:
To be honest, I got about three and a half hours of sleep last night and wasn’t paying a ton of attention to the PAX. That’s a Q fail and I apologize. I do remember noticing Benny whipping the Lunge Walk and Hootie(sensational name) Bear Crawling better than most.
This was a repeat of my VQ titled Denomination Stations from about a year ago. Thanks for letting me a similar routine once more. It’s awfully nice to get off site now and again.
Props to Geraldo and Zombie who rucked the entire distance and to Slim-Fast, Sensei and Nomad who pre-ran.
Peak51 has had some HUGE crowds this spring and summer thanks to new FNGs returning week after week along with the site veterans. Thank you fellas for making it great. Let’s keep up the momentum through the fall.

Highlights not mentioned:
1. Slim Fast’s beautiful rendition of “Pass the Rucky” on the wall.
2. Mumble chatter on my end of the wall regarding Sensei and a loin cloth. I’ll leave that to your imagination.
3. Learning that Matthews Presbyterian Church was, in fact, founded by Jesus.
4. On a serious note, shout out to Soprano — he’s been traveling and saddled with work so it was his first post in a couple of weeks. He pushed through a run-heavy workout (and he doesn’t fancy himself a runner).
