8 men joined me in the gloom this morning for my first Q at DS. Popcorn, Enron, Jobe, and Slingshot all got in a standard even though they were forewarned by the timely #pb that there would be running. Popcorn needs those miles though.
Disclaimer was proclaimed orally and nods of assent were noted for the record.

Grab those KB’s and head to the corner of the parking lot. I borrowed Turnpike’s Million Dollar Mile idea from Gladiator this week and modified it to a 4-corners workout at DS. The game was explained and the Pax counted of 1-2 to split into the chasers and the chasees. Group 1 (YHC, Baller, Slingshot, Enron, and CB) took off with a 1-min headstart before Group 2 (Popcorn, Jobe, Cobra, and AM/PM) commenced the chase. If the chasers caught the chasees and completed the exercises before any member of Group 1 finished, Group 1 would incur 25 penalty burpees. Exercises were performed at each corner:
- Corner 1 – 10 merkins, 10 jump squats
- Corner 2 – 15 merkins, 15 jump squats
- Corner 3 – 20 merkins, 20 jump squats
- Corner 4 – 20 KB swings
3 rounds of the chase. On the 3rd round the teams were mixed up and CB, Jobe, AM/PM, and Cobra gave chase, but with the modification of a 1:10 headstart but now the chasers only had to catch up to the chasees and not complete the exercises. 1:10 was not enough of a headstart and Jobe ran us all down – and by us I mean YHC as I brought up the rear despite my best Barry Sanders impersonation trying to shake Jobe.
- Finished up with some penalty burpees and then 1 round of turkish getups – 3 reps each side. Turkish getups should be a staple at all KB workouts (I’m talking to you MMM and Cauldron).

- Stellar work from everyone this morning – appreciate the effort for my first Q at DS. I may have to run this one back again in the summer.
- Look out for 2 new members of the Fabulous 40 club coming soon! Enron and AM-PM are almost there! Most of our kids will have graduated high school by the time CB and Slingshot join the club.
- Jobe is fast.
- Remember the Polar Bear coming up 2/11 and Daytona 500 on 2/15
- Thanks to AM-PM for allowing me to lead this morning and for taking us out in prayer
