Since many of us were spending more screen time lately, why not use theme songs from classic TV shows? The playlist is below for your enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spotify Embed: Bells n Whistles 12\/23\/20\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" allowtransparency=\"true\"

appreciated the slight uphill after Wink\u2019s loop for the run portion.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It was appreciated so much that it was repeated by Airbag as an option at this week\u2019s offerring. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We did a modification after a few trips up the hill so that Pax would turn around on their way up when they were met by someone coming back down the hill.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This was a good way for some of the faster Pax to push themselves while YHC didn\u2019t have to die running up the hill.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Major Q fail on the adage of Don\u2019t Q if you can\u2019t do. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The pre ruck was well attended this morning and really is a great way to warm up and get ready for the workout.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Everyone is welcome to come out with or without a ruck.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Or you could join Interference or Data or Balco for a pre run.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The pre work is always a great way to catch up with each other and really a good time for the 2nd F. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Something happened to the music and we ended up closing out the workout with some Chris Stapleton, which made The Singing Cowboy wonder what great shows he was missing with these possible theme songs. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>COT:<\/p>\n<p>YHC took us out giving thanks for the opportunity and the ability to be out with everyone this morning.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Also, asked us to keep an eye out for folks who are struggling especally this time of year. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This has been an incredibly tough year for many people on many levels.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Almost everyone has lost something or someone this year and many have lost more than we will ever know.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We can\u2019t fix everything for everyone, but we can offer a hand or an ear, or a shoulder to those around us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We can be there for them to let them know that they are not alone and that they have a group of Pax willing to help them any time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Certainly, we have all thought about someone we haven\u2019t seen in a while, or someone that may have had a loss or particularly tough time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Well, the next time you think about them, reach out to them,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Send them a text, an email, a call or something.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>That is what many of you have done for each other and what The Singing Cowboy has done for me this year,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you to him and to all of you for your support and friendship.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I will admit that he was not the only Pax to reach out, he just seemed to always know when to check in.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Again, it is always an honor and a pleasure to be out with you all. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
