It was a dark start to the St. Patrick’s Day, and upon arrival to the school there appeared to be some sort of overnight activity going on, so I needed to call an audible to work around the unanticipated changes, but it worked.

Disclaimer, and then we started out with a mosey around to the lot in the back of the school where we circled up for warm-ups:

• 15 SSH’s
• 15 Imperial Walkers
• 15 Moroccan Nightclubs
• 10 Windmills

Mosey down the bus entrance road towards Springfield Parkway until we got to the long straight hill section.  Time to partner up, and one partner will run up the hill and back (three light poles) while the other partner performs the following exercises until they get back.  Each partner does one round of each exercise alternating with a run:

• Shoulder Taps
• Squats
• Monkey Humpers
• Wide Arm Merkins

Mosey back to the back elementary loop area for a little rinse and repeat, only with a run around the loop and the following exercises:

• LBC’s
• Carolina Dry Docks
• Hand Release Merkins
• Overhead Hand Claps

Then we talked a little about what it meant to abide, specifically in Christ.  It’s not something that is easily done, at least not for me.  It requires literally giving up all control, of everything, then placing that trust in Jesus to carry me through to where He wants me to be.  There were several head nods from the PAX, and then we moseyed back up to my slightly less secret spot up in the woods for some cadence exercises all together.  We were all blessed with an amazing view of the sunrise while up on that hill!  God is good!

We rotated around the circle with each PAX counting off cadence for an exercise (or two).  There were three rounds that looked like this:

• 15 dips with hands facing forward (double count)
• 15 Inclined Merkins (double count)
• 15 Calf Raises regular (double count)
• 15 Calf Raises Toes Out (double count)
• 15 Calf Raises Toes In (double count)

• 20 dips with hands facing backwards (double count)
• 20 Inclined Merkins (single count)
• 20 Calf Raises regular (double count)
• 20 Calf Raises Toes Out (double count)
• 20 Calf Raises Toes In (double count)

• 15 dips with hands facing forward or sideways (double count)
• 15 Inclined Merkins (single count)
• 15 Calf Raises regular (double count)
• 15 Calf Raises Toes Out (double count)
• 15 Calf Raises Toes In (double count)

Head back to the playground fence to stretch out our calves then off to COT

It was not an easy workout, but I was really proud of all the PAX and how hard they pushed.  I thank Hasselhoff for the opportunity to Q again, and I really appreciate all you brothers!  You have all changed my life for the better!
