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.

Devo:

Perseverance

We need to persevere through life’s hardships and do the harder thing.

Moleskin:   YHC had been hard on the EH for this FNG for many months, and today was the day.  This FNG is not only an active member in the Fire Department, but he is active in his student government council at his school.  Since The Creek is the old stomping grounds for Snowden, as a means to honor his legacy, we decided that we should name our latest FNG Former Secretary of State Condolezza Rice.  YHC is working hard to ensure that FSOSCR is not a one and done.  FSOSCR has promised to recruit others to join as well.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

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…

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: low 60s and dry

FNGs: none

COP:  we talked before we ran to get the heart rate up

The Thang:

We ran. Goober was running a frustrating Zone 2. And Discount didn’t want to venture too far from the “facilities.” So we stayed at the Municipal Complex and ran figure 8’s.

Mary: none

Numberama: 4

Namerama: Discount, Goober, Doctor Octopus, Urkel

Pledge and COT

Announcements: still looking for a P200 runner

Devo: Sharpen the Saw – Doc shared that his 2.0’s are being taught the 7 Habits at their school. And it always reminds him that keeping his saw sharpened is a struggle. But it’s important for us to do in order to be the men/fathers/husband/leaders we are called to be. We need to find some personal time to recharge our batteries from time to time.

Moleskin:   It was quite the adventure at The Creek this morning. Both Doc Oc and Urkel noticed that the sheet was still blank. So both signed up and both pre-blasted. Urkel started the Q due to alarm issues at Casa de Octopus. And Doc caught up later when he arrived. Doc then concluded the Q by leading the BOM at the end.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: 50 and pretty pleasant

FNGs: None

COP:  A little stretching

The Thang:

5 ran the big loop and 5 ran 8’s with Zone 2.

Mary: More Stretching

Numberama: 10

Namerama: Redo, Urkel, Meter Maid, Goober, Glowstick, Discount, Master Load, Beaker, Fanta, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: P200 Volunteers.  Prayer Requests for Redo (M and 2.0) and Broke Back’s broke back.

Devo: YHC has pulled a lot of inspiration from friends post on Facebook/Instagram lately.  A recent one was about waiting until it feels 100% right.  Some people wait all day for 5 pm.  Some people wait all week for the weekend, some people wait all year for the holidays, and some people wait a lifetime for happiness.  We sometimes put things off because it’s not the right time.  We may say “When it slows down” or “When my job is more stable”, or whatever, but sometimes we miss out of life because we are waiting for things to be perfect.  If it’s important, make it happen.

Moleskin:   With only a couple of chances left to complete February’s running challenge, most pax are left with some of the weird or difficult tasks.  Urkel had to get the 3 miles with negative splits.  After the 2nd mile, it was blown, but he and YHC picked up the pace and recovered to get the task completed.

The Thang: The big loop.

Numberama: 8

Announcements:
Thanksgiving day convergence
Summerville Christmas Parade: 8 December
Christmas Party: 12 December 6:00 pm @ Oakroad Brewery

Pledge, COT

Devo: YHC shared about something he heard from a sermon a couple of weeks ago where the Pastor said that consistency brings about change. This applies to all areas of our lives.
If we desire a better relationship with God, we must consistently spend time in prayer and reading the Bible and having a relationship with God. If our desire is to be better husbands and fathers,
we are consistent with spending time quality with our families. When we are consistent, change will come.

Moleskin: What would a workout be without a quote from The Rock! “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.”

Numberama: 10

Announcements:

  • Christmas events will be posted on Facebook.
  • Ruck for Hunger

Devo: YHC was reading through some quotes recently and came across one that reminded me of getting back into running. Sometimes we want to be as fast or faster than everyone else and often times that can lead to disappointment and discouragement. YHC found a quote by Confucius and he said “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” YHC reflected on this and realized it’s not how fast we are or how quickly we can get through a challenge, it’s important that we keep pushing and do not stop.
