Pledge and COT

Announcements: Charleston stair climb June 19th

Devo: YHC gave testimony of the positive things F3 has done in my life.  Keep it going fellas.  A lot of people in this community needing to be reached.  Its up to you.

Moleskin:   This particular Q was the most hyped up on the final tour.  Waldo was recruiting like Dabo.  City and Swinger SCS’ed prior.  I knew that coming in.  So I was intentionally going slow into the park.  I pulled to the stop sign and looked right to make sure they weren’t there because you don’t want to be the guy that runs over your friends.  When I looked right I saw a heap of cars parked in the top parking lot.  There was also a line of cars pulling in behind me.  In that .25 mile ride back to the dog park only one of the cars that was behind me came my direction.  I pulled into the parking lot and there was no one in sight.  Then 2 others PAX joined me.  I knew something was up.  Right @ 0500 EVERYONE came running in playing Thunderstruck on a bluetooth radio.  It was a plan to surprise me and make me think no one was showing up.  However, I knew something was up and was ready to start @ 0500 with me, Placebo and Snips.  Everyone showed up and WORK was done.  Bedrock has been home for me for the last 4 years.  There have been many workouts that I’ve come in on two wheels due to my troubles with being punctual.  Countless jokes and “that’s what she said” comments.  Mumble chatter has been at an all time high.  Every man that has posted there has had in impact on my life in a way they may never know.  Thank you for accepting me and allowing me to lead.

Pledge and COT

Devo: Expose Them
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. (NLT) ( Ephesians 5:11 )

As we walk daily with the Lord, we begin to see room for improvement in ourselves.  When you clearly see sin in your life our natural tendency is to cover it up and hide it from others.  Yet, hiding it only makes room for it to flourish.  By bringing it out into the open a weight is lifted because you are authentic.  Talking openly also invites others to help keep you accountable and allows healing to begin.  Do you have anything in your life that needs to be exposed?

Moleskin:   Tremor is the AO that meets the earliest in the region.  Sakrete is habitually late.  YHC made sure he wasn’t going to be late for this one.  Arriving roughly 10 minutes early I still had no idea what route we were going to run.  I’ve lived in the Summerville area for going on 8 years and still do not know the roads downtown.  So I figured I would work a route that was easy to relay to the PAX.  Apparently…. according to City Slicker… we ran the Alston Loop.  City Slicker wasn’t thrilled with my lack of creativity.  I don’t care.  He’s a turd.  This was my first Q @ Tremor in my tenor in F3.  High Stick left a little early.  YHC ran 4 miles.  Everyone else ran more that that.  Pyle and Hashtag came strolling in right @ 530.  I’m only assuming but I think they ran about 15 miles that morning.  First and last Q @ Tremor brings stop THE OCHO on the tour to a close.

2021-03-14 by Schrute Leave a Comment

f3 facebookWeather: prefect running condition. Low 50s. Hint of drizzle but stopped.

warm up: some chatter and stretching before start.

 

the Thang: City was out for an appearance. Pony abs What?! Rucked 3 miles. High Stick put in a solid 5K and Sakrete, City, and YHC ran a 5 mile bridge run and back. Grasshopper came out for some fellowship too. It was like the old days of the Creamer with coffeeteria and chatter. Pony, Sakrete and What?! Really added to the dynamic of ball busting and commentary.

COT: you forget how things have changed from a year ago. Not a lot to train for or numbers for attendance since COVID changed it all.

the standard was held minus the flags. Schrute will pay dearly for that at a future AO.

Devo: To Pray For
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning’s that cannot be expressed in words. (NLT) ( Romans 8:26 )

Don’t know how to pray or unsure of what to say? Don’t worry, just spend time with God and count on the Holy Spirit to pray on your behalf. Talking with God is an important part of a growing spiritual life. Do you forget to pray regularly? Share your thoughts with God while you do a daily habit such as brushing your teeth. This will help jump start your prayer life. Or write down your prayers in a journal to detail out your thoughts

Moleskin:  It is Defib’s birthday.  Defib is very fast.  Dri Prime requested Thunderstruck as we were walking up to the flag to begin BC.  I am not one to disappoint a fan.  I made it work.  M&M and High Stick shared with me they thought I was a mother….. nevermind you get the point.   

It’s just after 9am and my legs already feel like that baby giraffe learning to walk.  Ain’t gonna be a good day.

White As Snow

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the LORD . “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. (NLT) ( Isaiah 1:18 )

 

As you read this scripture, let God’s forgiving nature envelop you.  It is by His grace, He pursues and saves us.  What a mercy filled gift! Have you accepted God’s offer to wash you white as snow?

Moleskin:   This may not be exactly what was done.  I have a bad habit of not writing down my workouts at any point.  I failed to get my backblast done due to the website going down.  By the time I figure out how to log in and do the back blast the memory of the workout was a tad fuzzy.  This is close though.  I remember City Slicker was there because this is the first BC he has attended in 3 years.
