I arrived at the SVU AO early to lay out the 12 days of gifts but to my surprise 0530 arrived and no PAX was stirring, not even one. After a moment to decide should I Murph or complete the 12 days as prescribed, I elect to begin. Then Cheetah arrives on the run and we set to begin but wait the headlights turn in and Gecko arrives. A wish is answered no sad clown solo to complete. 12 Days of Christmas Scramble Across SVU AO1) Parking Lot Bear Crawl2) Burpee3) Wooly Worms (feet in swings knees to chest from plank position)4) Pull-ups5) Freddie Mercury6) Toes to Bars7) Merkin8) Tire Flips9) WWI Sit-ups10) Squats11) Mt.

Thinking back over this year, encouragement has been a constant within F3 Denver. Whether a prayer for those in need, a word for those struggling or an affirmation for those succeeding the PAX is there. The book, Miracle Morning, has highlighted the importance of encouragement and affirmation in achieving and sustaining success. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! MOLESKINEThank you Cheetah for the encouraging words.Thank you Gecko for joining on a day that would have been tempting to stay in bed!Skipper, I saw your flashing vest running by as we left. We needed you to light the way in the early morning haze.The rest of the PAX was nowhere to be seen. May safe travels return you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!YHC – MetroDog
