WARMUP: An adventurous warmup of circle runs and

SSH
IW
Tunnel touches
Merkins
Mtn Climbers
Overhead claps

One man ran two circles around us wilst we completed the various exercises.

THE THANG: We moseyed to the center of the park and partnered up. One partner ran half sped across the park whilst the other partner counted to 5 and then chased them down, completing the run to the concrete track. Jogged back. Repeated until everyone was annoyed.

Moseyed to the hill where the partners participated in the now trademarked “Indian Land Butt Sniffers Bear Crawl Uphill” :tm:

Then lunges uphill.

At playground – partners did planks, dips and grave diggers whilst partner ran around the playground.

The Mary was one set of flutter kicks.

Perhaps <@UGU3XR5RP> will have some comments but it was clear this was his favorite workout in months.

Dear Abby joined! We got a Chicago report.

We had the privilege of COT to express prayers for fellow Pax and also for Mrs DD.

Food drive to come!

So this workout was one of many that remind me why we do what we do.
Unexpected FNG came out this am, dudes an ex marine and a solid dude. Knew we would be there. But really it’s because every single man made a decision they weren’t going to leave the next man hanging. That’s why we post in unpleasant conditions, wee hours of the morning and in some cases with little sleep the day after a birthday where it would have been nice to sleep in if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t have been there for my brothers, and I also wouldn’t have gotten to see Private Dancer who came up from Florida, Dear Abby from Chicago, Boomhaur on his second post, met Hershey and MP, and gotten to see DH do some DH ish, with an FNG onboarding and so and and so on….So all in all a great morning. Welcome Body Butter!

The workout itself, well that’s another story. I wouldn’t say I regret it but I am going to be feeling that one for a few days…
