50 LBCs OYO
10 Backwards lunge with leg kick on each leg

Repeat merkin challenge back to the other end of the parking lot. 80 more.

Line up for an Indian run from the parking lot across front of Calvary over to the front of the library across the street on Rea Rd.

25 Monkey Humpers, then one lap. Repeato.

10 x Right leg cross crunch
10 x Left leg cross crunch
10x Opposite toe taps
10 x Right leg can opener
10 x Left leg can opener

Moleskin:
Hopper and Gummie were crazy enough to ask me to come out and lead the workout. Not sure what the PAX thought, but I really enjoyed the chance to lead. I was told no burpees, and at least 2-3 miles. Well, we got in 3.83 miles, so we meet that goal, and instead of burpees we got in 300 merkins. I had not had a chance to workout with this crew before, except Harley, so Abba, Backdraft and Harley decided to show off and lead most of the laps we did throughout the morning. Tootie and Backdraft reminisced about their Rugby Glory days, and Tootie kept talking about how bad the BRR is gonna suck, and is already trying to get out of it by hoping is wife is in labor before the race. Maybe I will see some of you at the Spartan Sprint at Ft Bragg next month.

Announcements:
Mud Run sign ups end Sept 12.

Oct 4: Whitewater Center is having a Bushwacker run to commemorate the 22 year anniversary of the Somalian conflict that inspired the movie Black Hawk Down. An Army Ranger from the conflict and Dredd will be giving some speeches after the run. Come out for a crazy run, fun, and beer.

So I was feeling sorry for myself on Sat morning that I was sleep deprived after hosting 9 boys at my house for my son’s birthday party sleepover. Had I realized then the alternative was 300 merkins and almost 4 miles a la Pop Tart, I would have been whistling Dixie while making pancakes. You raised a high bar, PT! Thanks for leading and you will definitely be invited back to Q!

Next up….football game convergence at Olympus!
