NMM
Fort Mill is a land of churches (seems one is on every corner). But just as standing in a garage doesn’t make you a car, going to church doesn’t make you a believer. Whatever you believe, show it in the way you carry yourself. Have convictions. Stand for your beliefs. The world is your pulpit, so let your walk be your message.

Aye!

Miles and Merkins

Muggy start to the week at Sweep the Leg

Ruckers rucked. The rest of us ran. Starting at the stop sign by COT we went all the way to the cul de sac past Thomas Gibson Rd. Planked for the 6.

1 by 1 each of us ran back to that stop sign by COT stopping at all subsequent stop signs for 10 merkins and 10 lbcs. We did this 3 times. After a brief recovery we did a pendulum at the top of the hill starting with 10 HR merkins, 3 burpees in the middle and then 10 4 Ct. Flutters at the bottom of the hill. Reduce the exercises at the top and bottom by 1 each trip down and back. Everyone got to at least 5 before heading back to COT where we had 1 minute left for 15 merkins, 15 Lbcs and 5 Burpees

All told 3+ miles and over 150 Merkins to start the day.

Thanks to Badlands for the Opportunity
