All HIM were dragging a little this fine Sunday morning before the launch.  Had I closed my eyes I would have sworn there were two Def Leppards amongst us creaking and groaning but this new voice was actually our one and only Hal walking up with zero ruck sack, walking clothes, and untied shoes!  Totally spent from the prior day’s Tobacco Road Relay he had no plans to run today.  But wait, the voice of Slaw quickly reminded us that both Broke & Wik lit the TRR on FIRE, layin down some mighty impressive numbers and securing the proper title of DC!  Something to the effect of being a “lying hooknosed sand bagging sack of …. was mentioned about Hal and we think Wiki was just finally able to run without the old guy holding him back!!!  Dang if he didn’t pull up about that time ready to run again.  We launched, ran, rucked, & walked, then returned for a lesson on Prayer.  As usual it was an honor to lead.  Thanks.

Announcements:  The Goonie / Extinction Run / Additional SFN event (Gastonia Runway 5k in the fall)

Prayers / Praises:  Wirenut family, Gumby family, Slaw’s daughter

11 HIM fought the pull of the fartsack and the morning 🥶 to try and better themselves. Several 🚀 early to make 8 including YHC (Thanks Mayor for starting the 6:30 group).   We returned for a quick COT in which YHC totally bollixed Freight’s day by flip flopping the prayer and Name-O!  We then moved inside for Qsource on the “M”.   As always it was a pleasure and an honor to lead you.

Announcements:  Nothing new

Prayer requests:  Wirenut’s family, Gumby’s family, Hall family

Great crowd at Crossroads this morning with some good weather (albeit cold) to boot.  Hal said he was tired and looking forward to some 8:80s following a solid 12 miler w/ a gang of misfit, no-rep, backblast shut-outs from Old School the day before.  Mucho rucking and running was done by 12 HIM.  Sister Act joined the COT changing into his work uniform which with those boots and tucked jeans could have easily doubled for a night on the town at the Blue Oyster!  We moved indoors to discuss the LDP for Qsource.
