A few months ago a Wednesday WOD popped in my feed courtesy of Operation Enduring Warrior. It caught my eye because it was named "Kelly" which just so happens to be my hospital name (no, it's not The Count). As I was planning today's workout and given it's the week of Veterans Day, it was a great opportunity to honor our vets with this workout.
WARMERUPPER:
If you ran the standard, you were warm. Not everyone ran, so we moseyed to the Veterans Memorial in uptown Huntersville (which is beautiful, by the way). We began with a brief disclaimer and The Pledge of Allegiance.
Then we got down to business:
Cotton Picker x10IC
Windmill x10IC
Toy Soldier x10IC
IST x10IC
'Mericans x10IC (when you start at the Veterans Memorial, of course, you do 'Mericans!)
Mosey back to the corner of DPK.
WEDNESDAY WOD AKA "KELLY"
5 Rounds OYO:
Box Jumps x10SC
Air Squats x10SC
Reverse Alternating Lunges x10SC each leg
Hustle to the top of the parking deck, down the stairs to the basement and back to the corner.
Once everyone was done, we moseyed to the deck. We lined up into two lines and did sprints to the top of the first level. Everyone in line had the honor of doing burpees. We repeato'd, only we did air squats instead.

Around the world, as all PAX had the chance to lead a MARY exercise.
