Devo:
When you ask what people think of when they here the word Father. Depending on the relationship people have with their own father will result in a positive or negative description. If we want to be a Father to our children as God is a Father to us, we must communicate intentionally with our children and set time aside to set the example for our family.
Moleskin: The Pre-Blast indicated a plan of the “Hateful Eight”. During the “warm up”, YHC indicated the plan to perform Burpees as part of the “Hateful Eight.” The mumble chatter was a show that most did not realize today was April Fool’s Day as YHC would never bring Burpees to a running AO, so we ran. The run was longer for some as a search team was assembled to look for missing car keys for Fanta, unfortunately, the search was negative and Fanta was forced to walk home.

Devo: YHC talked about how God puts scriptures in front of us sometimes and it is not always clear why. YHC talked about a quote and scripture the he read this morning that was made very clear after running with the FNG. The quote by an unknown author was “Be Strong. You never know who you are inspiring.” The scripture was Philippians 2:4-Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
YHC talked about how as the last few days wind down on the job, coworkers are coming up and mentioning how inspiring it has been to them to hear about the workouts and the events YHC has done with most of you all weirdos. F3 and YHC have gotten people off the couch and into a different mindset, just by being around it. Awesome. But more importantly, YHC had to opportunity and privilege to run with the FNG and when and if you are lucky enough, YHC hopes you hear his story of inspiration. His spirit, faith and resilience is truly remarkable. Thank you Inspector Gadget for coming out and inspiring YHC on this chilly morning.
Moleskin: Mr. Kiser has had so many surgeries and body part replaced, it only seemed fitting that we name him Inspector Gadget. Remember, we are a simple folk around here!
Welcome Inspector Gadget (respect).

Play a game of burpee/blocks. PAX place blocks in a line across the midcourt and count off 1 2. teams formed and teams instructed to complete 3 burpees and grab ONE block and take back to own side and block has to remain on basketball court. for some reason, cheating is heavily utilized in this game, so YHC ended after a while and had the PAX get 10 burpees in for cheating. Stow the blocks, recover recover.

Devo: Know why you are doing the things that you do. F3, work, whatever, know your why. Too many things can happen if we are aimlessly going through life. God has a purpose for us.
YHC talked about the mental aspect of F3 and working out. The toughest part of the day, the hardest thing to do for the day. Preparing when things are going well, get us through the storms and trials easier than if we are sitting around waiting for something to happen.
Tinder mentioned the Admiral from the Navy (who he quickly pointed out are just the transportation for the Marines, but then Friar Tuck mentioned something about the Navy being the men’s department of the Marines) speaking about making your bed every morning and the importance of doing something everyday.
Moleskin:
YHC and Sophia got in a SCS with 3.3 miles preparing for the P200, trying to make our teams proud! YHC hopes that Friar Tuck and Bedpan got the beatdown they were looking for. YHC still does not know where the hype was for this BC. Friar Tuck crazy man!!

Devo: YHC discussed his 2.0’s desire to bring her classmates leftover cookies. YHC’s M thought that she was “buying” her friends with the cookie. YHC was glad that it was only cookies she was leveraging her friendships with, but it made him think about the situation. YHC likes to “host” and help people, and after talking with his 2.0, he realized that her motives weren’t really bad. Often we try to determine motive for someone’s actions and sometimes we simply need to trust that their hearts are good.
Moleskin: YHC and Meter Maid ran together, both stating that they were working back into their normal running pace. When completed, YHC joked about how fast the pace was and Meter Maid said that he was just trying to keep up. Sometimes we think we are the chaser, when really we are the chasee…
