Introduction
Thanks to the 9 PAX who join me this morning Saturday 12/26/2020 for a (Your Choice) Run/Ruck Club. It was a little chilly this morning ITG at Black Panther, but everyone quickly warmed up as we started to move and burn off some of those extra Holiday treats.
Warm-O-Rama
We started off with some good warm-ups; Side Straddle Hops, Arm Circles, Abe Vigodas, Finkle Swings, Tappy Taps (Slow) and finally some nice stretches for the calves and hip flexors.
The Thang
It was an PAX choice Run or Ruck club today, so we all split up in our respective groups. I led the Ruckers in an interval timed journey around the AO for 3.6 miles alternating ever minute between a Ruck and a Mosey. Wedding Planner led the runners in a similar journey around the AO, with an OYO run for 45 mins, and thanks to Pork Rinds for picking up the 6. All PAX met back at the Flags at 7:50am for MARY.
Mary consisted of a 10min assortment of core exercises (American Hammers, Swimmers, Flutter Kicks, Australian Snow Angles, Freddie Mercury’s, Heal Touches, Standing Side Stretches and we finally ended with a Merkin Ring of Fire.
Circle of Trust
Our site Q, Pork Rinds shared announcements and we completed Name-O-Rama before I shared a few words of advice and brief prayer. To our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we give our thanks and praise. We celebrate Christmas in your name and share in good tidings to all for your very special birthday, our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who need your grace and we remember all of those who are no longer with us. We ask for your continued love and support as we work each and everyday to be stronger then the last, both physically and mentally. In your name we pray… Amen.

The Holidays are a time to CELEBRATE, to be THANKFUL and to GIVE, but it’s also a time for REFLECTION and PLANNING. I often reflect on all those things in my life that I’m most grateful for, it always starts with my family, our love and health, our well being and compassion for our families and friends. Being grateful for something is wonderful, but it quickly results in my thinking of others who are less fortunate. I like to think of myself as a giving person as I try to support many people and fundraisers throughout the year. Giving monetarily as well as physically. But this time of year always make me wish I could do more. Perhaps I could spend more time or more money but definitely need to plan better. Making stronger commitments often starts with making better plans. So this year as I reflect on on my New Years Resolution I will not focus as much on what I can do better for myself but rather how I can plan to do more with and for others. Think about that for yourself as you reflect on your own live. Be Thankful and Give More.
Happy Holidays
