Welcome to Chilis!

It was a beautiful morn at The Americal Jackal, the mumble chatter was off the charts. All the Q could do to dodge haymakers was lean into it and say thank you sir many I have another.

We ran down to the track for the longest 4 corners EVER! There was a dispute of if there really are corners on a circular track, but that is purely semantics.

I chose the number 8 for no particular reason other than 12 was too many and 6 was too few. It’s science.

Corner 1: 8 Merkins
Corner 2: 8 Squats
Corner 3: 8 Flutters
Corner 4: 8 Burpees

Mode of transport on the curved part of the track was lunges, karaoke, and nurring. Mode of transport on the straight aways was fast paced running.

I would like to say we did all of them, but we only got 6 laps in. So maybe 6 wasn’t too few after all.

We Native American ran back to COT for some Mary, announcement, prayers and praises.
