Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning. (NLT) ( Ecclesiastes 11:7  )

When was the last time you had the chance to see the sunrise? It’s breathtaking watching the light slowly take shape at the start of a new day.  It’s a simple reminder that each day has the potential for so much beauty.  Today is a new, glorious day! Take the chance to create beautiful things on this new day.

Moleskin:   YHC wanted to get the blood pumping this morning.  Put a pretty ballsy preblast up and the F3 Summerville crowd showed up and showed out.  Glad to see one of our newest guys  (Nacho Libre) make the ride from The Jones area this morning.  Apologies to Lite Brite.  Guy showed up @ 0700 for the workout just as we were finishing up.  Apparently there is some discrepancy on one of our social media sites.  YHC is in contact with our IT guys.  Thanks for allowing me to do some crazy stuff this morning.  #bettertogether.

Pledge and COT  Turned to face the houses across N Hickory and said it loud and proud 

Announcements: Repo’s run to benefit Camp Hands of Hope.  Race will be virtual

Devo: YHC went to Publix after work on Friday.  They were busy.  The lines were backed down the aisles and it was just hectic.  The cashier was super friendly and very professional.  Upon leaving the store I called into the manager to give her a praise.  Working in retail I know the complaints far out weigh the compliment.  Ever since my wife and I have been married we have made an effort to call into businesses and praise when their workers are going above and beyond their required efforts.  Normally when we call in the manager says thank you so much for letting us know.  But this time the manager told me she would stop what she was doing and go congratulate here and give her a free lunch.  I challenged the PAX to reach out when service at businesses is exceptional.

Moleskin:   With 21 guys joining in the BC at various times and having to coordinate folks driving to the garage due to having to get to work and biking to the garage to modify heavy running the coordination was challenging at best.  YHC got a little tongue tied and said several times “pair up in teams of 7”.  The PAX didn’t let me get away it.  Everyone put in work.  Goal was to get the heart rate up and keep it up for the duration of the BC.  From the death threats and cursing that I received I will assume I achieved this goal.  Glad to be here.

Mission:  F3’s mission is to plant small workout groups that are free of charge to all men.   We improve fitness and leadership in the community through regular scheduled workout groups where participants rotate leadership.

Conditions: 45 degrees, cold

The Thang: 30, I repeat 30!,  PAX showed up to The Creamer to either run, ruck, ride or just for coffee.

Moleskin:  For some reason whenever it is cold out, the PAX tend to order coffee and sit outside. I have still yet to figure this one out, but that is for another day.

The return of Shortcake and DHL brought all the boys to The Creamer – sorry Cheetah! It was great to have these two guys back out after a long hiatus.

Happy 39th birthday to Bedrock’s own Benefits!

Many prayers request were spoken as well as many praise requests. T-Claps to Too Much for taking us home in the BOM.
