PBR is listed as the Q on the calendar but has informed the group that he will not be posting this week. I pull in to the Infinity AO at 0510 to find an empty parking lot. The temperature gauge reads 34 and it’s nice and toasty in my car and I am the only one at the AO. I hadn’t seen anyone post who was going to Q or really if anyone was a HC or even an SC. I see headlights coming down Hawthorne St. I know I won’t be running alone as I’m certain this is Bismarck (I had already exchanged texts with Friar and knew he wasn’t posting). Yep, I was right; it was Bismarck. As I turn the car off and begin to search the locker room for my headlamp, stocking cap and light gloves I see Twin enter the AO parking lot. As we get out and exchange the standard greetings and salutations i.e. do we need a vest? Let’s stay on the Greenway and just use headlamps. Etc. Twin is asking if Swinger was coming as he had posted some chatter on Slack and then Snips pulls in. There is further exchange of conversation around Twin/Snips posting the same day at Infinity. A true liability disclaimer is provided (thinking about it now, should’ve stated that it was backwards day).
No Q, so I’ll step in. We do SSH’s (20 IC) after everyone has done a few stretches on their own. We take off down the Greenway towards the corn field. It’s a great morning to be out running with an awesome group of HIM. We stop at the intersection at Pennell St. and do 10 Merkins OYO.
Next we continue the good Group run pace towards the Library. There is great mumble chatter as to our education and books as we forgo the Library hill and continue under 321 and stop along Pennton Ave. to do curb dips (15 IC).
We return to our run pace and get almost to the Library where Snips drops his lung and Bismarck assists in fine F3 core principal fashion and assists in carrying it up the Library hill. The group returns to its amoeba self and heads back to the AO. Well look at the time…in the words of F3 Alamo’s Madonna “boys, we have gift of time” so we drop down on our six for some ab time. We completed LBC’s, Freddy Mercuries and ETK in cadence and then called it done.
I had been reading a devotion on the Birth of Christ and one day it asked a question. How many Holidays throughout the year do we celebrate someone’s birth? Do we celebrate MLK Day or President’s Day and focus on their birth? No, we celebrate what they accomplished throughout their life. Christmas is the only day that we celebrate the Birth of someone. Wow, that’s powerful and we should be mindful to celebrate this throughout the year because that Birth led to a perfect example of a life led and then His death for our sins and Salvation for Eternal life.
3.25 miles of running, some form of 100’s of calories burned and all in all it was a great morning to be with these HIM. Twin noted it was selfie time so it could be memorialized that this was probably the first Infinity this year that Twin and his twin Snips both posted.
That’s awesome and hope you HIM return to the greatest RAM AO in F3 Lenoir.
Aye!
