All week long there has been an onslaught of information flowing about the first Thanksgiving in the United States.  Honestly, when YHC moved to the commonwealth of VA from the great commonwealth of Massachusetts, I had no idea there was any sort of controversy around this.  Well, after living in VA for 33 years, I am more than aware that the majority of folks in VA think that the first Thanksgiving was in VA.

I have done my research, looked at all the information, run the appropriate regression models and determined with statistical certainty that the answer does not really matter.  What matters is the act of giving thanks and looking around yourself and realizing how truly blessed we are.  It is easy in this current environment and culture to look at what we don’t have and take for granted what we do have.  I had the unique opportunity this year to travel to a part of the world (Ghana in Africa) that shines a spotlight on what little things we have that are taken for granted (clean water, sanitations systems, roads, etc).

(if you want to know what the rest of the country thinks about Giving, ask Alexa (thanks Marmaduke))

Lots of mumble chatter around the circle today. As the Q of a group of 38 people, it is very difficult to follow the discourse.  Chime in below if anything was said that needs to be shared.

Great to see folks from all around the RVA out there today.  One of the negative implications of our growth in RVA is that its now nearly impossible (see Upchuck, Lab Rat, and others who are hitting every AO) to hit every AO and to see all our brothers .

Big thanks today to Hardwood who provided the refreshments post work out.  Tclaps brother.

Good luck to all that are running Thanksgiving runs today.

    Great Q TYA. Thanks for the leadership and for the wonderful reminder of our MANY blessings, especially F3.

    These convergence workouts have become my favorite way to kickoff every holiday. It’s great to reconnect with F3 brothers that I don’t get to see regularly. Thank you all for all the motivation and for the fellowship. I truly am thankful for you all and for this group. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy your families and travel safe.

    Great Q TYA! Always enjoy a good holiday beatdown. Awesome to see so many faces I haven’t seen in while.

    Glad I could keep count for you Wilson during the 11’s

    Happy Thanksgiving fellas!!

    Spit – your a true friend! I was distracted by breathing and couldn’t count. You and Viral are always helpful! Mr. Roper suffers from the same disease and is always comical when we run the 11’s together!

    What was your p-value on the regression, just curious…

    Awesome job today! I’m feeling those double triple checks!

    Thanks for the coffee, Hardywood!

    I am beginning to look more forward to the annual Thanksgiving workout than I am the turkey and stuffing.

    Peace-out brothers.

  12. Viral on

    Great job TYA! Great to see everyone this morning.

    We do have so much to be thankful for! I am thankful that my arms didn’t fall off after the Carolina Dry Dock to Merkin combo on the final double-triple check.

    I may have to start sticking around for the holidays. These holiday workouts look pretty good;) Not sure how i feel about TYA taking the high road in a BB yet, but I think it works this time. Well done, fellas!
