Great job PAX, today was a good morning to work off some of that turkey glow after the holiday. Good reports from the Thanksgiving workouts and Hampton Roads kickoff. The Hardywood coffee installment after Mary Mumford came with high appraise, perhaps something to be filtered in on later dates. Or Lab rat can bring beer, whichever suits your 6:30 AM fancy.

YHC revised the polar bears to just bear crawls after one round, no one seemed to mind. However, there were plenty of bear crawling to go around either way, isn’t Bear Creek a bear crawl?

BT led an inspiring prayer to close us out detailing the highs and lows one can feel in a given year, which most of us who’ve been working out with BT over the past few years know about. Very happy to hear it’s 70 and sunny in the BT household, F3RVA was praying for you and the family.
