More burpees and high knees, then more exercises. Then more burpees and Mary. Then more burpees. Then one more burpee.

COT: gratitude. I’m going to be out on IR for a while and it’s hitting harder than expected. Reminds me to be grateful of all the daily blessings. We all have things that we wish were better, but we sure have a lot to be thankful for each day. SYITG.

YHC appreciates Trolley completing every aspect of the workout while I was forced to modify greatly starting on the first round. Over a year ago I had a heart issue, that came up again this morning. Trolley did the beatdown and stuck around a while after while things got back to normal. Thank you!!

COT: listen to your body. I was reminded of this again this morning. Would rather modify and miss out on part of a beatdown then miss out on the next 40 years.

Also had a wonderful theological/church specific discussion that carried through the COT and past for at least 15 minutes.
