Warm Up: Multiple mosey and stop for thunder-hops, frankenstein, imperial walkers, hill billies. Mosey to the wall by the baseball field for step ups, merkins, dips for 2 rounds

The Workout:

Got coupons from the rock pile and did 2 sets of movements before the Q selected a PAX to select a number between 1 and 5. Each number selected was for a different station. The PAXs bear crawled the selected station, leaving their rocks for the moment. We hit all the stations and hit station 4 twice. After completing the exercise at the station the PAX bear crawled back. We repeated this for what ended up being 6 rounds.

On my way to the AO, as I continued to work through the details of the workout in my head, I turned onto Holly Springs Rd and was coming up on my turn into Jones Park. Ahead of me, the silhouette of a HIM crossing Holly Springs Rd; Regal, Majestic, Patriotic; this HIM (later identified as Jellybeans) was rucking to the AO for the workout, with his Shovel Flag in tow, backlit by the light of dawn. A sight to see, an inspiration to those around him, a proud member of F3. For me, this certainly set the tone for the morning.

FNGs: Nada

Warm Up: Good mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm circles, Seal Claps, OH Claps, Daisy Pickers

The Workout: Mosey to the rock pile for a medium rock.

Made our way to Holly Springs Rd via Cusack and Mosey with various rock exercises mixed in (Ruh Rohs, Lunge walk with OH Press, Squat with OH Press, Curls for the Girls)

Circled up in the grass adjacent to Holly Springs Rd for 3 rounds of various rock exercises combining arms, legs, and ab work. Each round was separated by sprints down the new greenway path with a mosey back to the rocks.

Exercises included ruh rohs, skull crushers, ground pounders, chest press, american hammers, homer to marge, squats, lunges, and a combo 6 inches and overhead rock pull on our six.

Made our way back to the rock pile mixing in some of the same exercises and modes of transportation along the way.

Finished with a plank hold rock pass down the line of 14 PAX x 2.

Over to the playground we went to complete the June challenge of 20 pullups at every AO.
