11 of us gathered at Grid Iron, not knowing it was about to be a St Patrick’s Day theme with some familiar exercises…just with some “Oh” or ”Ohhhh” reactions. Warmup and then to the soccer field for a modified 4 Corners…the Four Leaf Clover. 5 Burpees at midfield every time and 25 Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Squats and WWIIs at each corner. But the “Oh” was to add a Burpee at the end of every exercise, in addition to the 5 at midfield. (29 total Burpees). Then we took a break (that means Abs). 4 sets of 25: WWIs, Crunchy…

We had 15 HIMS attend Chicharon’s first Queue. He celebrated turning 40. He also brought a FNG from Michigan. FNG was presented with the title of Diesel. We did activities in sets of 4 including 4 corners, 40 count Lindsey, and 4 burpee marches. We celebrated the end with no more hate and now a decade of silence.
