Devo:

Qualified
It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. (NLT) ( 2 Corinthians 3:5 )

We often rely on our own ability to “perform well” to make things happen in our lives.  We all are tempted to be self-sufficient; not looking to God or others to provide for our needs. God is in charge of every detail of our lives!  We are not qualified on our own and every blessing we have is from him.  Pray and ask God for His help and guidance for your life.

Back in the Saddle Again (Day 2)

Conditions: 39/40 but didn’t feel too cold

FNGs: None

COP:  Not at this AO

The Thang:

Brokeback walked with Urkel and Grid Square who walked.  The rest ran…

Mary: light stretching

Numberama: 7

Namerama: GI Jane, Mr Feeny, Brokeback, Oops, Grid Square, Urkel, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Anniversary party at Canes this Saturday. GC/MC P200 team may have some openings if anyone is interested.

Devo: YHC’s word/direction for 2021 is “intimacy” which would be weird for a single HIM if the definition is only based on sex.  But the true definition is having “shared” experiences. We found what was important during 2020 and there was a lot of time for intimacy with our families.  Moving into 2021, we shouldn’t forget this and as things open up, we need to focus on the relationships that we want intimacy in.

Moleskin:   The group of runners started out at a sub-10 minute pace and end up with negative splits for the 4 mile run.  This was definitely faster than the group was use to as a whole and definitely a PR for Oops who YHC has been trying to encouraging to believe that he could run at a sub-10 pace.  Good Job Oops!

The first V-Q run for The Hole

  • When: 20200324
  • QIC: MasterLoad
  • The PAX: Old Flame (R), Floppy, City Slicker, Creeper

Intro: we normally run a 5 mile loop around FoxBank but this one will have to be on your own.

F3 Mission Statement: “To plant, serve and grow small workout groups, in order to reinvigorate male community leadership.” -Dred

Weather: great for a run

COP: OYO

The Thang:

Ugh, its The Hole…we run.

Mary: yeah…no.

Numberama, Namarama (via FB Request), Annoucements, Pledge, Prayer Request

Moleskin:  My first Q for a virtual run AO, was probably a little more than needed but what the heck, I had a good time and got to say good morning to a few folks that I normally run with.

A lot of Poop coming out of The Hole

  • QIC: Olaf
  • The PAX: GI Jane (R), Oops, Urkel, Masterload, Mr Feeny

Conditions: Lower-60s

FNGs: None

COP:  Just prepping reflective gear…

The Thang:

We Ran.

Mary: A Little Stretching

Numberama: 6

Namerama: GI Jane (R), Oops, Mr Feeny, Masterload, Urkel, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Easter Convergence has been cancelled.

Devo: During prayer requests we discussed the pax that haven’t been out lately and how some of them have struggled/or will struggle during this time.  We have to be intentional about reaching out and helping out.  Official devo was kept short.

Moleskin:   During the run GI Jane said he almost fartsacked because he was running late but is a morning pooper. Urkel ran out on the COT at the end to make a deposit and YHC ended things abruptly as he needed to make an urgent transaction.  Good thing it was a faster run this morning or things could have ended badly.

Telecommuting is not an option at The Hole

Conditions: Upper-50s

FNGs: None

COP:  Just prepping reflective gear…

The Thang:

We Ran.

Mary: A Little Stretching

Numberama: 6

Namerama: GI Jane (R), Oops, Discount, Masterload, Creeper (2.0), Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Cancellations and unsure status of the Easter Convergence.

Devo: YHC prayed about being the men that God has called us to be during this time and he emphasised this is where we can really make a difference.  There is a difference than being prepared vs. freaking out and how it is important that we remain level headed and not allowing those that are freaking out to cause us to react negatively.

Moleskin:   YHC didn’t start his tracking until after the 1.5 (almost 2) mile mark so he ran extra to make sure that he hit the full 5 miles.  Probably lost a little extra but wanted to be beyond reproach when submitting miles for the March running challenge.

Team Olaf – 25, Team Masterload – 0

Conditions: Right around 60…

FNGs: None

COP:  None.

The Thang:

We ran or walked.

Mary: Panting…

Numberama: 8

Namerama: GI Jane (R), Oops, Saget, Brokeback, Defib, Ninja (2.0), Outhouse, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Easter Convergence

Devo: Conversation at the hike meeting about validation vs. initiation.  Initiation, like for a club or organization, requires us to meet some initial requirements (i.e. task, pledge, etc.) but validation is something that we continually perform to receive.  Validation from man is bad (of course) but we have to be careful if we seek validation from God in determining who we are in Him. Once we accept Him as Lord, we don’t have to perform.  We are already His sons.

Moleskin: Even though Team Olaf isn’t competing against Team Masterload, we still tease and challenge each other.  Looks like team Olaf won today…  At The Hole anyways…

Slow Grind at the Hole

  • When: 20200310
  • QIC: Olaf
  • The PAX: Masterload, Goober, Glowstick. Mr. Feeny, Oops

Conditions: Low-Mid 50s.  Good morning for running.

FNGs: None

COP:  Stretching and moaning about diamond merkins, lack of sleep, etc.

The Thang:

Ran the usual 5 mile loop with slight modifications.  Goober and Glowstick did zone 2.  Pace was closer to 10 min/mi for the rest.

Mary: Nope

Numberama: 6

Namerama: Masterload, Goober, Glowstick. Mr. Feeny, Oops, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Easter Convergence

Devo: Everyone had to leave at the end of the runas we returned late, but the conversation during the run was good and made up for it.

Moleskin:   So the initial count was 6 but Oops showed up late (with the flag) and said he ran 3 miles but had to leave early for work.  I am not sure if Goober and Glowstick saw him, but since he is an honorable guy I will let this one slide and count him…

Writing and Running-It’s Fun!

  • When: 20200305
  • QIC: MasterLoad
  • The PAX: Feeney, Olaf, Urkel, Oops, J.I. Jane (R) (for the gym)

Intro: Noticed a comment on Olaf’s Backblast the other day and thought why not have some fun with him.  So I planned a route out that let us write my initials in the middle of his neighborhood.

F3 Mission Statement: “To plant, serve and grow small workout groups, in order to reinvigorate male community leadership.” -Dred

Weather: Perfect

COP: Nope

The Thang: We ran, except for Jane who cannot, so he showed and went to the gym (at least he showed up).

Mary: Ugh…no.

Numberama, Namarama, Annoucements, Pledge, Prayer Request

Moleskin: I enjoy the guys at The Hole and am trying to make it part of my normal running routine.  They usually have a good route and a great pace so I get a good workout, this morning was no different, except YHC got to pick the route.  The pace was decent, and the conversation was good too.

Team Olaf vs Team Masterload at the Hole

Conditions: Upper 50’s, rainy as we were leaving, but perfect the rest of the run

FNGs: None

COP:  Waiting in our cars for the rain to stop

The Thang:

We ran, modified the route slightly thinking that we may have to return because of rain, but ended up right around 5 miles as normal.  This may be the regular route moving forward…

Mary: None, we run

Numberama: 4.5

Namerama: Defib, Master Load, Oops, Olaf, and GI Jane (R) in spirit

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Easter Convergence

Devo: Sermon this weekend was about flipping the lens.  In our lives, we have season that are so trying, but at the same time, they are the most rewarding.  YHC can really relate based on the last 18 months.  We need to make sure that we aren’t so focused on the bad that we miss what God is doing around us.

Moleskin:   GI Jane was there and just as we were getting ready to leave the parking lot a drenching rain started to fall.  GI Jane bailed to the gym, so he really doesn’t count in the numbers, but giving him props for at least showing up.  Also good to have Defib appear at the Hole as a part of Team Olaf for the March running challenge.  Unfortunately Team Masterload was also represented…  But YHC had the Q so the big multiplier put Team Olaf ahead…

Moleskin: so I was reminded by Urkel that I had signed up to Q only after I HCd for another workout elsewhere. Thank you for keeping me honest gentlemen.
