Great work by all. I had a few different ideas for this workout. Initially, was thinking the 12 days of Christmas. Then I thought about doing a “Nutcracker and the 4 Realms” workout to advertise for my STARring role in the Nutcracker this weekend with the Charlotte Youth Ballet. Okay, not the star, but thankful to be on stage with my daughtered doing something that she loves. Finally, went with a Running workout to start and some leg strengthening.

 I’ve been honored to be serving as the Co-Site Q with Thunder Road for the past year. I’m planning for about a month more and see proper transition for new leadership.
