WARMUP: Harry Connick in my backpack and trepidation in my heart…..I didn’t bring enough cookies and egg nog.

SSH and leg stretchy things at the bottom of the ramp. and a little bit of Christmas poetry to set the mood. what do we leave for Santa?

THE THANG: Run one up two back and do stuff at the light posts. 25 pax and a busy(ish) Street make things a bit dicey….the sidewalk really wasn’t wide enough….but eating the really cakey red velvet cookies at City Hall made it more dicey. We ran another half mile doing pushups at the lights. Then everyone….well, at least the strong men….took a shot of eggnog. We then ran through downtown Ball Ground to the coffee shop. We can’t give Santa eggnog and cookies without a carrot for Rudolph. Pax each got a carrot (apparently we have some bougie pax, because they were chagrined that the carrots weren’t peeled and uniform in shape and size….though I did wash them). Note for Future Q’s: Eating carrots while running can result in prolonged coughing fits …who knew?
MARY: Yes. Lots of stuff at various points waiting on the six and Misty Frogs at the flag for 45 seconds at the end.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thanks for coming out on Christmas Eve.
COT: Family, God’s Gift. Prayers for those with challenging home lives….may God give them peace and hope and may those of us who are more blessed at this time seek to provide love and support to Pax struggling with the season.
