Encouragement on the Run

Eight PAX showed up on a cool July morning that felt more like Spring than mid-Summer.

After a quick review of the route, it was 0530 and time to go.

First, the pledge.

Then, the mosey. The route this week was towards Snoballs, and the search was on for the mysterious Diablo Sambriches.

One of the great things about an F3 workout is the encouragement you get from the PAX. YHC ran with Roscoe this week, and little did we know about the encouragement we’d get to offer. As we moseyed, we came upon a group approaching from the opposite direction. Could this be a group of Sambriches? But wait, this group is approaching much too quickly, and they don’t appear to have satchels on their backs. Nope, it was the group of lady runners. We then came across another group of men this time. They were also moving too briskly and had no satchels but were walking a dog. Still no Sambriches.

As we approached Harris Teeter, we saw another group approaching in the distance. They were approaching at a fellowship mosey pace. They appeared to be geared up with their backpacks. Could it be? What do you know… it was the Sambriches. We quickly made the decision to run across to the HT parking lot to offer them encouragement. They must have been exhausted from their trip because as we approached most of them had stopped, bent over, and were appearing to be catching their breath. We moseyed through and wished them well.

We moseyed through the Snoballs parking lot to ensure their vehicles were safe (you’re welcome) and made our way back to the The Pub.

As we neared HT, we passed the Sambriches again. Still exhausted, they once again bent over to catch their breath. Bless their hearts.

We finished the mosey back to The Pub with some extra distance due to our good will divergence.

Def Leppard was clad in his hard-earned medal from the Tronmoss 5k. Well done sir.

COT:

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

-After reading this verse I discussed how you should ALWAYS “Trust in the Lord” and surround yourself with people that are accelerating like you.  My family and I have gone through some tough times recently and I have reached out to several of you for spiritual help.  I am very thankful and appreciative to have people like ya’ll that can help keep me strong!!  By talking with each of you it helps me to understand and see where I need to work and accelerate more in my life.  I challenge each of you that read this to think about areas that you need help accelerating in and reach out to your F3 brothers to help you.  This is the reason we are together!!!  Not everyone is at the same level but we should be accelerating towards the same ultimate goal!!!

Strong work by all that posted!!!  It is ALWAYS a honor to be able to lead.
