Dedicated Ones!!

Dedicated Ones!!

Wake up around 5:20 and it’s still raining outside. Been raining all night so the grass is looking good but the ground is really wet. So it’s Saturday; raining, wet, early, and spring break. Feel pretty good I am going to get out of leading this one as no one will show up. It gets closer to 6:00 and the rain dies to a little mist. I figure I better drive over just to make sure no one shows up. I get to Stonehenge and for the most part, the rain has stopped but still really wet. I see about 4 or 5 cars so I know its on thinking it will be a small group this morning. Once again, I am wrong and more cars start rolling in. We wait until 6:00 and we now have 14 dedicated PAX out on this Saturday morning. I will be honest; If I wasn’t on Q, I wouldn’t have made an appearance.  Give a disclaimer and we are on our way!

The Thang

We mossey the long way to Duckworths parking lot. Circle up and do some very precise counted warm ups. SSH, imperial walker, merkins, and squats. We head down to the brick wall behind us and get in a sitting position. Stay in sitting position for 25 secs. A lot of chatter on the count so we count silently for the rest of the wall exercises. 25 sec hold on right foot out and 25 sec hold on left foot out. Hold seat and do 50 air presses. Shake the legs out and mosey back to the parking deck.

Relived to find some dry ground, We do some leg work; high knees, butt kicks, shuffle both directions, lunges, and broad jumps.  We run up the parking lot ramp and do 5 burpes at each level. We run down the ramp and do 10 merkins at each level. We stop near the stairs and partner up.

One Partner runs up the stairs and back down while the other does exercises on ground level. Switch with partner when you get to ground level. We do a total count with partner of 100 merkins, 200 crunches, and 300 squats.

Mosey down to the SPX pond. We do 2 exercises at each sitting section around the pond and run to the section right before the section we just left. Sounds more confusing in writing, so not quite a full lap in-between  sitting sections around the pond. First exercises – 10 jump ups and 20 step ups; 2nd- 25 incline and 25 squats; 3rd – 25 declines and 25 merkins. Meet at the section of the SPX pond we started and do 25 dips and 25 squats, Do a full lap around the pond. Do some so leg stretches and back to launch for a couple minutes of mary.  Different Pax call out the exercise and we end up doing 2 sets of american hammer (wet ground).  DONE AT LAST! Finish up with 3.75+ miles. Q takes it out with prayer.

Great group of guys and appreciate the support on a rainy day. Thanks to Nard-Dog and Wild turkey for the site Q!
