The morning began with a 3mi Ruck from the Park to meet Trucker on the Hwy 160 path then doubled-back to the park which was a great start. It is exciting to seek this “walking with a backpack” thing grow into what it has. So as we exchanged pleasantries with a great mix of PAX, I quickly realized I was among giants. Executives, Leaders, Coaches, Principals, but what’s more, Church Leaders, Faithful Husbands, Example-Setting Fathers, Men of Purpose. That’s who I stood in the center of this Saturday morning.

With the recognition of an FNG (Welcome El Camino), we had the disclaimer then the 18 of us took off for a short warm up jog to the center of the park for a warm up:
SSH
Moroccan Night Clubs
Wind Mills
Monkey Humpers
Diamond Merkins

Shorter mosey over to the playground for a split into 3 groups:
Group 1: Run a lap around the playground
Group 2: Pull ups until the lap is complete
Group 3: Mak Tar Jah until the lap is complete
Rotate through until everyone does each.

Next Rotation:
Group 1: Run a lap around the playground
Group 2: Hand Release Merkins until the lap is complete
Group 3: Knee Tar Jah until the lap is complete
Rotate through until everyone does each

Mosey to the wall in the parking lot on 160 heading into downtown.
20ct Squats then 10 Donkey Kicks…REPEAT
Line up in 2 lines at one end of the lot. First man sprints to the other end while the PAX does Carolina Dry Docks. Then the 2nd man goes, third, etc. Once you finished the run, you’re back into the CDD.

12 count Merkins followed by 12 Sumo Squats
Mosey to the base of the hill and grab a partner
Partner 1: Run up then down the hill
Partner 2: LBC’s
Switch and switch again for a total of 200 LBC’s. Same idea but now 100 Russian Twists.

Captain Thor: 1 Big Boy Sit Up : 4 Russian Twists for a total of 10:40
Line back up at the end of the parking lot. Like before but this time, it’s a plank and bear crawl series.

Mosey back to the park and line up:
Crab walk out then reverse crab walk back.
Peter Parker, flip it over for dips
Parker Peter, flip it over for dips
