Fannie Mae and I ran Del Webb roads in reverse. A perfect 5 mile route. Good run and conversation! Rocket slept through his alarm.

Seuss

6 runners came out on a humid morning for a Ground Assault run. It’s been a while since we’ve run run Stowe Road/ Samuel Pinkney/Dorie and back, so that was chosen route. This is a great route if you want a straight 5.10 miles without having to tack anything on at the end. Tesla ran in the park.

Word:

‭Philippians 1:21-22 

[21] For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [22] If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 

“Christ is the Lord of our lives; they come to an end only in his sovereign will, when his purposes in us, and for us have been completed. But if it is his will for us to continue to live, one reason is this: He means to continue to bless us and use us as his servants.  If the Lord continues to keep us in this life, He means our lives to encourage others to grow as Christians and to bring joy to them. Does my life encourage others to grow and to rejoice?” Sinclair Ferguson

YHC took us out.

Nice work, men!

3 ran and 3 didn’t as FRC began at our old time from a new location.  Sargento came to YHCs rescue, at my request for new roads, and came up with a new route..and more than a few choice words about our missing comrades.

Nice run today! All pax welcome!

3 rucked and 10 ran the “Untitled Route” (Come to think of it, we need to name it). This is my new favorite route..but not the way  Radar does it;). HIMS pushed their pace today; good camaraderie.

We enter town with about a mile left, so pax chose their preferred routes. Ruckers seemed to have to change plans, also, due to train. Nice work, men!

Q Source:

‭Ephesians 6:18 ESV‬

[18] praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 

From “A Praying Life” by Paul Miller: “Jesus’ example teaches us that prayer is about relationship. When He prays, He is not performing a duty; He is getting close to his Father. Any relationship, if it is going to grow, needs private space, time together without an agenda, where you can get to know each other. When it comes to spending time with God, take baby steps. Don’t set impossible goals and then collapse. Consistency is more important than length. Regardless of how or when you pray, if you give God the space, He can touch your soul. God knows you are exhausted, but at the same time He longs to be part of your life.”

Thanks for the opportunity to lead..good group!

So, YHC thought he might be the only FRC member today due to Ville to Ville and to Sargento’s confusing text about “running 9”. I said I would ruck alone if no one came, Buckeye said he’d walk..so all was well. Sargento and GoldDigger paired up; Buckeye and I had some fellowship..it’s been awhile. Hope he wins his age group at Ville to Ville; hope Sargento has a Happy Anniversary!

Announcements:

Convergence/Speed for Need

Ville to Ville

Upcoming “Goonie” Ruck

Prayer Requests: 

Sargento’s clients..many are ill

Sudden death of a student at GoldDigger’s school

YHC took us out, followed by the Pledge, and a quick rendition of The Flintstone’s (I mean the original Flintstones with Fred and Barney) version of “Happy Anniversary” in response to Sargento’s wish that there was an Anniversary song. We all know (some of us more than others) how much he loves to sing in repetition.

Thankful for you guys,

Seuss

It was nice to actually stay for COT and coffee after Tequila Sunrise; and it was appreciated that some HIMS stuck around after FRC to make up the 20 pax and 2 ruckers that pushed themselves this morning. Alma Mater and Nutria flew in just about bumper-to-bumper to get here..almost on time.
