Devo: Going through an issue and told someone that I was just going to let God fight my battles.  Externally I was doing this, but internally, not so much.  As men we do handle the external well and don’t react or retaliate, but do we fully let God have things internally.

Moleskin: Yes… this is lazy copying the backblast, but it works…

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Christmas Events will be posted on Facebook.  Tinder gathering men that want to do stretching/mobility exercises on Sunday’s at 7 am.  Will meet at Ditch location.  Prayer requests for Everett (2.0 of Muscadine’s friend) and Dovetail.

Devo: YHC had a convo with friend about making a hard decision despite of how painful it was knowing that doing it later would be even more painful.  So often we procrastinate these conversations, or decision, but doing it later may mean more pain OR we may not have another opportunity to have them.  Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and we need to make sure that we aren’t putting things off because they are difficult, aren’t fun, or are a lot of work.

Moleskin:   Goober had nipple chaffing even after bodyglide was applied.  Discussion occurred on other alternatives.  It was also the return of Muscadine to the gloom thanks to Tinder who urged him on Sunday to come out.  Good example of brotherhood working to keep HIM engaged.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

YHC reflected on an injury that kept him out for several months and how the encouragement and challenge from fellow brothers made him strive to get better so he could rejoin his brothers in the gloom. YHC challenged each PAX to reach out to fellow men we interact with every day and share what F3 has done for them and invite those men to experience the brotherhood.

Moleskin: Congrats to Redo on completing the 50 mile challenge.

Devo:

Communication as a Father

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.

Conditions: nice

The Thang:

YHC was informed by Urkel that Snowden changed the Berninator and time needed to decrease 30 sec each half mile…at 0457! PAX were instructed of the Berninator:

Start at a number (somebody said 11 min mile and YHC didn’t do the math because math is hard) and decrease every half mile by 30 seconds. and…go

All PAX ran the loop several times, some got around quicker, some got more miles. YHC heard sub 7s, sub 8s, 11 solid!. Strong work guys.

Announcements: Rugged Maniac (March 16th), Discounts Garmin Challenge, and P200 Volunteers

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…
