Headed on east on Pacific until 84th Street and then went north into the gale (most character building of the trot here). Turned left on Broadmoor and ran to the middle of the Swanson Elementary playground at the Coop.

And Toadstool led us into Crowd Pleasers (one merkin and one groiner up to 6)
The Thang
We partnered up next to the hill and did 11’s. At the bottom of the hill, we started with 10 chicken peckers then ran the hill and completed 1 worken and ran down and then 9 and 2 and so on until Toadstool read 6:30 on his watch where we end this part of the workout with Captain Thors (one big boy and four American Hammers 2-8, 3-12, up to 20 Hammers)
Second “Leg” of the Turkey Trot
We hit the trail around the park and headed west out of the park and then south on 90th street. We entered the Battlefield where Samples ended the Thang with 15 Alternating Shoulder Taps IC.

Prayer Requests – for Vets and people who lost loved ones this past year and other prayers on our hearts
Co-COT – Both Samples and Toadstool spoke about the importance on gratitude. When speaking with people who are struggling, showing gratitude is really difficult to start but it is the first step to solid mental health. It is also so important to find gratitude in situations where we might be struggling. So many times it is easy to play the victim and feel sorry for ourselves. These are the situations we especially need to be grateful for as these are potential for the biggest growth for us.
