12 PAX met in the Kenan gloom (including Dogwood, who was not invited), and 4 PAX knocked out an EC 5k for good measure. What happened with Dogwood they all asked…well, let me tell ya.
So, remember that time when your so-called friend’s wife (who is your wife’s boss) invites you and your wife to a so-called Christmas party and then kicks you out the moment you walk in? Oh, I remember…Turns out YHC wasn’t exactly invited to said party, but who cares about those details…NOT THIS GUY! Oh don’t roll out the whambulance quite yet, this whole situation worked out swimmingly – goes to bar, no kids, watches Army/Navy game where they both lose, watches Kentucky lose to unranked ND in basketball, pregames for UNC vs. Elon, and gets to give Dogwood crap for the rest of time…Merry Christmas to me! Thanks Mrs. Dogwood!
Feeling incredibly motivated for a Monday, we got to work.

- Enter the Tar Heel Burpee Mile –
4864 Burpees, 1 Mile Run- PAX will complete 16 Burpees, then run one lap around the Kenan concourse (1/3 Mile), repeato x3
- The plan was to pick up the Six, but Slug and Homegrown Berry finished first and decided to do another 16 Burpees, so we, uh, did another 16 Burpees…That’s 64 burpees. Thanks Dogwood!

All joking aside, it was an absolute pleasure to lead the PAX today at Kenan – even Dogwood. It’s been a minute since YHC was here last, and I’m grateful for the opportunity. This Christmas season is about hope, joy, and celebration. But, for many the holidays can be a difficult time. For those of you that are struggling, please reach out to a fellow PAX or friend/family member and ask for help. We are here for you and we’ve got your back.
