Talked about how we’ve been changed by following Christ. Thanks for the participation everyone!

Ephesians 4:22-24 (ESV) – “To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

11 Boot Campers camped and 8 Run Bros Ran.

Boot campers were lead to the parking lot behind Ritter off Crescent Green. Amway lead the Pax in warm ups and then had all previous SWW Site Qs lead an exercise. He then turned it over to YHC to lead the ME. We moseyed back to the lot at SWW where we did modified coupon circuits with a long pickle run in between each circuit. Music was on the agenda (play list was epic), however, the speaker had other ideas. Mumble chatter was on point. We ended with plank-holds and chill-cuts for Mary.

Announcements: SCary Family Picnic 4/27, The Highland Games 4/19 and DDD 2/22. Oh and YHC has been recruited to fill the Big shoes of Brie as Co-Site Q of SWW (some equated it to Belichick going to UNC…which could be taken many ways). It’s and honor and privilege to serve as Co-Site Q with Amway.

I’ll leave you with this…F3 gives us an opportunity to encourage one another and build each other up each morning during workouts. Use that to set the stage for the rest of your day. Carry over that encouragement to your family, friends, co-workers and anyone you encounter throughout the day. The world needs more of that.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

MIAGD!!!

Thanks again for the wonderful conversation and participation. We talked about what this verse means to us and how we’ve seen God make a river in our dry seasons.

Isaiah 43, 18-19, (ESV) “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV), “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Had a great conversation. Thanks everyone for participating! Remember God is for you, as we start the New Year.

10 campers and 3 runners, with some swwingers for coffeeteria.

Started with a quick mosey to the RLC parking lot for a warmup that prompted the discussion of whether it’s Thai Fighters or TIE Fighters, and if Oofda’s earthly or galactic travels could confirm either way. Later at coffeeteria, it was also discussed whether warmups should occur near the flag so late pax can still catch the group but this was vetoed in a region with, to quote, an embarrassment of riches (so you have less of an excuse to be late from having to drive forever to get there).

Thang 1 – partner up for catch me if you can around the lake, 10 merkins when caught. Darker than anticipated, rootier than recalled so we moved on after that.

Thang 2 – partner ab DORA across the bridge on KF. 100 freddies, 200 half sit-ups, 300 penguins.

Thang 3 – greenway run back and finish up the Dora in the parking lot.

COT

– DDD coming up next month; you can consider bingeing on holiday sweets as training for that, right?
– Preview of Snoop Dog’s Easter footwear modeled by Badda, Chipper, and HGTV.
– New Year opportunities and challenges abound; prayers for pax dealing accordingly with them

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, good to see everyone and meet some new pax!

6 bootcampers and 3 run clubbers. After pledging allegiance to the flag, which was present, we set out on our way to train for the Uwharrie Mountain Run, which is only 5 weeks away. In order to do that, we got some trail work in at Hemlock Bluffs, stopping every so often for some of my favorite leg-strengthening exercises including Al Gore jump squats, Stifler’s Mom, monkey humpers, and more. We managed to get all the way around the big loop in Hemlock Bluffs without getting lost. Saw a few deer and heard some frightening noises along the way.

At one point we partnered up and talked about how well we executed our 2024 goals, and what we are looking to accomplish in 2025. While the run clubbers made it to COT on time, the bootcampers were a few minutes late. But that made the grapes taste that much sweeter and the coffee that much more satisfying. Rave reviews are already pouring in for the resurgence of Slippery When Wet, The Place Where Legends Are Made. Congrats to Badda on hitting his mileage goal for the year today (1,500!). Let’s be sure to check in with each other throughout the year to see how we are doing with our 2025 goals. MIAGD and MIAGY.

Had a great discussion about conflict resolution. Thanks everyone for your participation!

Matthew 18:15-17 (NIV), “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector”

It was 5:44 and 3 lonely souls somberly stood at the flag. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, the PAX rolled in hot, fresh off their post Christmas party hangover, ready to get to work.

Started with a longerish mosey out of the park to warmups, and then painted the lines on our way back in. Headed to the coupon stash for the thang. Partnered up, and each round one PAX would execute an Iron PAX Challenge inspired feat while the other completed an AMRAP exercise. Then swap. Feats completed included Murder Bunnies, Blockies, overhead coupon carry, Redrum Bunnies, coupon lunge walk, standing broad jump. We might just have some new IPC converts for 2025! Only one block destroyed.

Post COT the PAX found themselves lost with no site Qs or coffee in sight. Rumor was that coffee was over at the pavilion, but were there cups? Was it too far? Most decided to head directly to Escalator or hit the showers. Site Qs may need to re-engage before SWW becomes only a memory.
Praises to Astro for his Christmas party planning and prayers for those struggling during the holiday season.
MIAGD!

Great turnout for a pre-Christmas discussion on Advent and waiting in eager anticipation for the coming of Christ. Dove into the history of Advent and what it means for us including what we are waiting for in life. Talked about the second coming of Christ and what we know or think we know about that. Great engagement and participation from the PAX.

Our hearts are open and yearning, and our hope is fully in Him!
