Six PAX decided to get better today. Since F3 Greenwood split into two AO’s, YHC has not Q’d at the Epicenter; therefore, it was a treat to be back. It so happens that today is Rivalry Week for many college football teams, so a few footballs were obtained. Throughout this week, many thoughts and ideas ran through this jumbled and feeble mind. But, in the end, I wanted this Q to mimic a football game – Full effort for Four Quaters. Maximum effort. Give it all yougot. Leave it all on the field. In the end, the goal will be pure satisfaction knowing you gave 100% effort.
Weather: It was a sunny and a “warm” 49 degrees. Calm winds, 100% humidity, 30.32 Barometric Pressure and UV index of 0.

Second Quarter –
Indian “Option” to Hill — It’s just an Indian Run, but the lead runner has the football and will lateral it to the PAX running to the front. If dropped, all PAX will drop and do 10 Merkins. This was performed flawlessly. No drops!
Hill Work (Although YHC is a Clemson fan, it is just coindicdence that we are running down a “hill” during the workout)
Start at the top of the hill. Sprint down the hill, perform 10 Smurf Jacks, Sprint up Hill and do one Burpee. Repeato, but decrease number of Smurf Jacks by one each trip down and increase the burpees by one each trip up.
Third Quarter – Tennis Courts – It’s been said that the most important part of any football game is the first 5 minutes after halftime. Capri made sure that we knew it was the first two DRIVES of the 3rd quarter. So, we had two “drives” of suicides.
Partner up. Suicides.
Partner one will do suicides while partner two does work. Then they switch, until all exercises are performed.

Fourth Quarter – Football Field
Exercise 1 – “Little Rascals” All PAX start at goal line – approximate equal distance apart. Take off running and lateral the ball the the PAX beside you and run the length of the football field and back. Pass/pitch the ball to the PAX beside you, all the way down the line and back. If the ball hits the ground = 10 merkins. Once again, it was performed flawlessly. Except for one errant pass from Kaboom to Smokey. Capri blamed Smokey, but I’m thinking it was a bad pass. Either way, we all dropped and did 10 Merkins.
Exercise 2 = “Call your own exercise” punt – Each PAX has the opportunity to punt. Before they punt, PAX will call an exercise. Capri was the long snapper at the 50. The pax received the ball from the 40. They punt from the 40. Whatever yard line the ball lands on (not rolls), the PAX will perform that exercise and number of reps. Example – if it lands on the 20 yard line, do 20 of called exercise, if it lands on the 10, then 10 exercise. If it crosses the goal line, no exercises will be performed (that will have been a 50 yard punt)!
Nature boy punted first. He called crunches. It landed at the 40. 40 crunches
Capri called some kind of Ab workout. It landed at the 20.
YHC called heel touches. It landed at the 25. 25 heel touches.
Dugger called Russian Twist (or something like that). 30 yard line.
Kaboom called another ab exercise (YHC is losing his mind). Another 30.
Smokey called crunches. His landed at the 49. 49 crunches. .
OT – We had a few minutes left, so we decided to have a FG kicking contest. We lines up from the 15 yard line – just a simple extra point. Everyone failed miserably, until Dugger managed to get one through the uprights to end our workout. Great job, Dugger
Announcements: There were surprisingly no announcements. Juggernaught – where are you?
Prayer Request – We continue to pray for Judge Hairy, in hopes he has his medication straightened out from his episode on Thanksgiving. Smokey and his family are traveling to Greenville to see Disney on Ice. He asked for prayers for safe travel.
YHC Closed in Prayer
Moleskin:
It was a fun day at the Epicenter. Only six PAX, but there is something powerful with small numbers. Lots of laughter and mumblechatter.
Dugger proves he can count in German and all different kind of dialects.
Capri learned that YHC was a former Furman Cheeleader and youth Tennis player. Capri mentioned that my “man” status was only going down in his eyes.
Smokey let everyone know that when Greenville had an arena football team, he had the chance to do an NFL style workout at halftime. Winner of the Contest won a three nights stay at a luxury hotel. He finished second. So close.
It was an awesome morning.
Respectfully submitted,
Judge Judy
