Northeast Tennessee

🎄 The Post-Christmas Calorie Crusher 🎄

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

Intro:
‘Twas a workout after Christmas, when all through the park,
Not a creature was stirring, except Jake and Fireball, ready to embark.
The weather was mild, in the low 50s they say,
But as they started their workout, the skies turned to gray. 🌧️

🎅 Back Blast: In the spirit of Christmas, Jake and Fireball braved the elements, starting in calm weather and ending in a downpour, reminiscent of the unpredictable nature of holiday family gatherings. They tackled each exercise with the determination of a child unwrapping presents, turning the park into their own post-Christmas battleground. As the rain intensified, they sought refuge under the portico, proving that not even the fiercest of storms could dampen their spirits. Their workout was a perfect metaphor for the holiday season: challenging, unpredictable, but ultimately rewarding, with a reminder to trust in Jesus the Lord of All. 🌟
