12 men including one FNG Jace Brinson (aka West Point and Bonnie’s 2.0) gathered on this warm and humid morning to start their week with a run, a few exercises, and some history. After stating the mission and disclaimer we started right away with….

We moseyed to Garber parking lot where we YHC reminded the group that the battle of Bunker Hill occurred on this day in 1775. (A Pyrrhic victory for the British.)
Sprinted length and did 15 Merkins OYO
Sprinted length and did 30 Squats OYO
Sprinted length and did 15 Werkins OYO
Sprinted length and did 30 Sumo Squats OYO
We then did an Indian Run (The Indians fought with the British during the revolutionary war) to Meadows Park via Holly Ridge Road with a few stops added. Stop #1 – 17 Merkins (Representing the # of British officers killed) Stop # 2 – 30 Merkins (Representing the # of patriot’s captured). Once at the park we immediately started our return via a snake run (It seemed appropriate given the revolutionary war theme) We stopped once more to do 20 Merkins (representing the # of patriots who died in captivity after the battle.) Once we reached Country Club Road, we did a Prisoner March to the golf course and then AYG to the parking lot.

In sum, we covered about 3 miles (more for those that looped back) and did 341 exercises to represent the 115 Patriots and 226 British troops that died in the battle. It’s always an honor to lead this group.
