17 Pax stumbled out on a cold Monday morning and got better running 4 very safe, very neon miles.
Conditions: Cold. 37 degrees according to the car thermometer.
The route this morning was not very original, but it’s a good one with a few hills to help ease back into the regular schedule after the Thanksgiving holiday. In honor of Pipeline’s leadership, the Pax wore neon gear. Unfortunately, Pipes was missing – allegedly he was running in Orlando at Disney, but, at press time, there’s nothing on Strava to substantiate this rumor. Regardless, the Stumble Pax are grateful for Pipeline’s leadership and service to the AO.

Devo from Serena:
(YHC’s poor attempt to paraphrase Serena’s powerful message):
Every year, Thanksgiving is an opportunity to come together with family and friends to give thanks for the blessings in our lives, and it’s a chance to pause and reflect on God’s role in bestowing those blessings. We can do this every day. If you have ever been on a Jesuit college campus, you might have heard a bell toll at 2 and 4 o’clock every day. The bell is rung to remind those within earshot to take just a moment to pause and be present and aware of God in our lives. It is an opportunity to take stock of the day and to be thankful for the opportunities and challenges and blessings God has bestowed upon each of us.
