Half marathon and Cocoa

Five Turning Point pax, came out to Turning Point this morning to get better together, or at least with the lure of some hot chocolate.

Weather: 15 with a breeze and clear skies

The Pax gathered around YHC for a quick introduction, disclaimer, and prayer. After that, there was no need to put it off any longer. So, we started where we stood.

Burpees – 11 OYO During this last set of burpees, YHC narrated the final 1.1 miles of the Disney Half Marathon, the event which Recall and his M were running at that time, and the finish Buttermaker and Canseco would be running the following day in the Disney Marathon.

If you haven’t figured it out by this point, a half marathon is 13.1 miles, or 131 tenths.

We did:

– 131 burpees
– 131 of each partner exercise
– 13 sets of other exercises with a count of 13 for each of those sets.

And, all without Wendy’s approval or a winkie.

COT

Gather around for some hot cocoa. Unfortunately, the outlets we found were underpowered. So, our hot cocoa was underheated, making it more of a luke warm cocoa. But, we all have the memory of the chilly morning we tried.

Announcements:
– TODAY Saluda Launch
– TODAY Harbison 50K
– 01 26/27/28 Grow Ruck
– Palmetto 200 is coming in March.

Prayer Requests:

Devo: incorporated in the prayer that we would be present wherever God has us at the moment and not consumed with distractions.
