Stay on the 1/2 mile loop. Pax were instructed at each light, the person in the back would get to the front and lead. If the person in the back could not keep up, the fast PAX would keep going on with the exercise of next light, person in the back move to the front. If the PAX caught up to less fast PAX, they would lead. YHC was hoping to end up all back together at the end, but that did not happen.

Devo: Who is speaking into your life?
Listening to the sermon yesterday at church reminded me of the important role men play in our lives. Also connected with why I F3.
I remember as a teenager playing golf with my grandfather. Playing horribly. Couldn’t hit anything straight. Finally after hitting my tee shot on hole 17 he spoke up. Pulling his handkerchief from his pocket he told me “take this and put it under your arm. Now hold it there while you hit that shot again.” Listening to his advice I hit the straightest shot of the day. I asked why he waited until the next to last hole to offer that advice.
Point was that he was there with me, watching my swing. When the time came that he felt I needed to hear it, he pointed out what I was doing wrong. Because of our many years playing together (and the fact that he was my Pappaw), I listened to what he had to say. I didn’t reject the advice.
As a baseball player in high school, i really struggled with the bat speed to get around on the fastball. One of my best buddies was a pitcher. So he offered on several occasions to stay after practice and groove me a few of his best to let me work on it. He knew it was a weakness of mine that I needed to work on.
These are roles that each of us need to have filled in our lives. We both need other men that are allowed to speak into our lives when they see us struggling and say “here, try this and see if it helps” or “here, let’s get together from time to time and work on it together.”
Search your circle and see if you have these men in your life. If not, find them in the gloom. Lots of good brothers out there willing to listen and help.
Moleskin: Lot’s of good discussion in naming the FNG this morning. We found out that he enjoys racing (which possibly saved him for a Gitmo nickname being from Cuba). This of course brought out all the Ricky Bobby references. This is where we decided on Magic Man.

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!

YHC brought out the F3 Deck of cards and decided to play a little war with the deck. PAX were lined up from oldest to youngest and folded line in half, there are the teams.
PAX were instructed to send one from each team to bear crawl to card pile and grab a card. Winner of War could pick which card/exercise his team wanted. Most were confused, some eventually caught on. This was not enough for the PAX, so YHC quickly called audible and set up the cones for a little starfish.
Starfish- five cones placed as a star. every odd number is in the middle cone, starting with 1 merkin and finishing with 25, and the other cones had other exercises to include 4 ct flutter kicks, box cutters, lbcs, and heels to heaven.
