Day: February 16, 2023

Diablo Sammich was Blessed with a Kotter this morning, welcome back! We had some great mumblechatter this morning during our Ruck. Ya gotta show to know. We Rucked through Colony Woods, stopped for Merkins, Monkey Humpers, more Merkins and more Merkins. We Rucked back towards the Urgent Care and did Mary for a few minutes, that’s all we had time for. 

Good work! Many prayers were mentioned. God Bless those and the one’s that couldn’t make it this morning.

Everyone has a mountain to climb. We all have our own struggles and challenges. The second F is for fellowship. While I may be going through something hard, somebody else out here may have experience and insight that can help. And if nothing else, a sympathetic ear. It starts with fitness but it is so much more. That was the theme this morning with 13 in the gloom at the Goat. After a warm up, we moseyed across Goat Island, bear crawling the first bridge and lunge walking across the second. We ran a triple nickel across the back parking lot, Mountain climbers and American hammers. Then we circled up for a Merkin Mountain and with a group of 13 it had all of our shoulders feeling the burn. We moseyed back across Goat Island completing a Route 78 (that’s an extra light pole at the end) with Bobby Hurleys. In the top parking lot we did 11’s, Mike Tysons and Big boys. We circled up again for a dealers choice – each pax takes a turn calling out an exercise for everyone else to do during the time it takes them to bear crawl around the outside of the circle back to their spot. Back to the flag and one more burpee to call time. We said a pledge and had the following announcements (Extinction run 3/4 09:00 open to all, sign up with BOS, Community foundation run, 4 teams available details on Slack, 2nd F lunch next Tuesday 2/21 at Venecia Italian Gastonia) and prayer requests (Tooth Fairy’s daughter and work assignment, Turtleman, Huckleberry, Wirenut’s family, Eh Y’all’s friend in car wreck, F3 teams traveling for Dam to Dam relay on Saturday).

Honor to lead.

Maybe the weather has turned for good? Yet another dry Wednesday morning with nice temperatures. There isn’t much better weather for running. Bedpan has picked up the Hal Dopey plan so he may begin turning into version 2 of Sarlacc. We’ll see! In the meantime, it was nice to get in a little over 3 miles with he and Oompa this morning. Other guys ran further and a few rucked. Mainframe has become a consistent rucker the past few weeks. Of course, Camelia has been doing the same for a while now. If you are looking for a spot to ruck on Wednesdays, Prison Break is a good choice.

Announcements – Trail Run @ Poston park 2/25 (see Mayor if you want to run…he was trying to give away a spot) – 2nd F lunch 2/22 at Venicia (the old Shoguns) – 3/4 Extinction Run at Primal Brewery – Community Foundation Run coming up on 4/1, sign up under F3 Foundation or No Brainer Foundation. No Brainer is a charity started by Ratchet raising money for families of children going through cancer treatment. His son is a survivor and is currently going through some some treatment for some concerning spots on his brain so this is near and dear to Ratchet as well as myself and many others in the Dallas/Folsom area.

Prayers – Tooth Fairy and his family, Ratchet (MRI for his son on the 20th), Radar’s sister, Clavin’s M, Termite’s brother, Huck, Wirenut and his family
