I’m blessed by so many things, and this day had a bunch of them all rolled into one day. Thank you Lord for what you give me! It went like this…
I pulled up to my standard parking spot at Pullen Park about 0515 thinking I’d do some solo running until ruck practice started at 0600. Doing a little warmup and here comes Single-wide to join me! We headed out into the gloom for 1.5 hours of EC rucking. Only downside was we were having so much fun we forgot to roll back by the AO and check for other ruckers at 0600. Sorry Ollie…
0700 rolls around so it’s time for the standard fun that is our Pullen Park beatdown.
Warmup:
SSH x 25
Windmills x 15
Indian run with butt-kickers, high-knees, and karaoke left/right, because we had somewhere to go…
Continue to mosey up the stairs, through the bushes and across the tracks, because we had somewhere to go…
Circle up outside the baseball field for Standard Merkins x 15, continue on because we had somewhere to go…
Continue the mosey toward the NCSU belltower and finally arrive at the nice grassy Court of North Carolina on the NCSU campus (GO PACK!)
