Finally a Good Suggestion (at least the first one YHC has followed)
The shovel flag was firmly planted and 22 of S Charlotte’s finest got up early for a downpainment on the weekend.
The Thang:
Warm-up – SSHX20, Squats X10, Freddie Mercury X20
The Murph – Run 1 mile, 100 pull ups, 200 merkins, 300 squats, run 1 mile back
That is all – simple but effective

Our fearless site leader, still nursing a sore ankle, handed over the reins at like 9pm last night. As I had just Q’d Hydra and still had bricks in my trunk I figured why not just double down and use again. Unlike the evil thoughts that normally eminate from Purple Haze, he quickly suggested I leave the bricks in the trunk. Knowing PH is wise beyond his years, I obliged (for once – may not happen again so savor the moment).
TR laid down a challenge for the men of Centurion on Twitter so we will see where it leads. Interesting how it got laid down the day before a new workout (the “Brave”) depleted several of our stars. No matter, we will reload (#starfish) and be stronger than ever.
The Murph limits mumble chatter but maximizes effort if youi want to finish in 45 minutes. The PAX pushed hard but I noticed we need to figure out how to get pull ups into our routine more often – alot of Australian rules pull ups this am (YHC quilty as charged – kryptonite)
Announcements:
Escargot is site Q for the shoe drive. Please bring 1 (or more) pair of used men’s athletic shoes for donation to use at the Charlotte Rescue Mission.

Hops took us out with a great prayer. Thanks for including our brother BIll. He is doing great and I am confident our prayers are a big part of this.

Admittedly, there was some selfish motivation in requesting that the bricks stay in the SUV. But hopefully the Pax forgive me and surely the neighbor you stole the landscape bricks from is thankful.
The Murph is always a good workout.
I have the Q next week. We’ll check to make sure Palatine Hill is still there.
