#TheHerd converges with #TheMission

12 pax assembled ‘round the shovel flag at Finlay Park this morning. It had been a while since Alter Boy posted at, much less Q-ed a workout with TheMission pax, so YHC was really looking forward to bringing out an ol’ favorite today. The “Workout In A Basket” where the Runner Is The Timer. Aye!

Moleskin:
Good times as always working out in Finlay Park with @F3TheMission. Solid effort and great teamwork by ALL pax today as we stayed on the move for most of the workout.

About 10 minutes into the workout by the amphitheater, YHC heard his car alarm going off in the distance. Knowing that it would be useless to go see what was up as any potential burglars would be long gone in the time it would take to get there, the Q spent the next 20 minutes wondering when the last time his iPhone had been backed up, how many calls would need to be made to cancel credit/debit cards and when would be a convenient time to go to the DMV this week. Fortunately, (Thank you LORD!!!) when we ran back past the car on our way towards the shovel flag, there were no busted out windows on the Taurus and everything was intact. Evidently when the Bubba truck that parked behind it pulled up, the alarm wanted to let it know it was too close.

It was great seeing some folks again today, especially Mathlete who is one of the most joyful people YHC has ever met and will soon go to serve in ministry in Honduras. T-claps, Brother! Godspeed to you.

Thanks to Ocho Cinco and Tea Party for representing @F3LexSC #TheHerd (aka the pax from Jumanji) with YHC this AM.

Always good to see Banjo from Detention and t-claps to his bro-in-law Nip Tuck for posting as well. Those dudes made a formidable pair as they teamed up and kept up with the pax with their rucks! #PathfinderTraining

Heisenberg and Training Wheels, two @F3TheMission Veterans kept the Q in line out there today. #Respect

Always great seeing Bookworm and Husker. Bookworm is a true OGM success story! And if you want a quick workout, just shake Husker’s hand That guy has a vice grip of a handshake!

It was cool meeting Swingline for the first time and hearing about the new AO where he posts in Spring Valley. #F3Valhalla

Last but not least, YHC was blessed to see Pick Axe at an F3 workout. We met last fall at a men’s event at his and Tea Party’s church where we had a chance to share what F3 is about. He told me this morning that he started posting at Turning Point in January. Aye!

Prayer requests:
Mathlete going to Honduras to serve in Christian ministry later this year.

Continued blessings for Bookworm in his job and victorious life over addiction.

Husker to progress well through the program.

More OGM program men to participate in the F3 workouts at Finlay Park on Saturdays.
