YHC and Purple Haze switched AO’s for Q-Source and he completed his backblast before me #HIM
Being named the 2023 Nantan is an honor and after that big announcement and the Christmas party dessert table YHC needed to get in some first F. A lot of Crossroads PAX were running ten miles but the rest of us mortals needed to do the standard. YHC voluntold Def Leppard to pick the route since YHC doesn’t know much about Dallas except the town square, Folsom, and Old School. Def Leppard repaid me with immediately beginning the (2 lap) Gaston College route and nippling and defiling my drivers side mirror with a sweaty nipple band aid after the workout. You hate to see it.
The Mayor led the way for the first half of the run and has continued to impress. He truly is a runner now. Wichita could only be controlled so long before he pulled away but at least he knew where he was going. Gumby and I had a nice run and fellowship mosey and we all finished with a total of 13 runners.
8 stayed for Q-Source on “Articulation”. When a leader has a vision, he must articulate the mission so that others understand (not necessarily like) the mission. The more complicated the vision, the more articulation is required to describe the waypoints it will take to get there. Every person can articulate, but most people choose not to, but a leader must articulate because that is what leaders do.
Announcements: Possible beer mile in late December?
Prayer Requests: Turtleman, Huckleberry, Gumby’s Mom and Brother in law. Each other and family. Those who struggle with depression and/or loss during the holidays.
Be on the lookout for 2023 news. I am thinking about a good New Year’s Day beatdown convergence to start the year off sore….I mean right.
If you haven’t read Freed to Lead or Q-Source, make it a resolution and do so. Dredd and OBT articulate what it means to be in F3 in those books and you will understand (it doesn’t matter if you like it) it better.
Aye!
