We Gave All The F’s
FNGs: None
Warm Up: There was some stretching and some sick burns being batted about between Peeping Tom and Lipstick. These two…
The Workout: AKA 1st F – A 3.5 mile fellowship run that had been piloted by Peeping Tom (or PT as some like to call him). People that live along this route may want to consider their current security and window covering situation as Tom has repeated this path a few times now 🙂 We proceeded along the red line in the image. For the first mile there was some continued back and forth between PT and Lipstick followed by some mumblechatter about how much we were all suffering. All of our food choices were poor leading up to this 7:15pm run. With heavy stomachs and some cautious moments we pressed on.
About a quarter of the way down to Crossway portion of our run Lipstick happened upon a favorite hill of his – Creekvista Dr I believe it’s called. You may remember it from a previous R4TJ that he Q’d. He lead the charge off the red lined path down said hill, Pikachu followed, PT, Cupid, and YHC shrugged and proceeded down the pre-agreed course. There were still 2 Fs to tackle this evening and we have plenty hills awaiting us for BRR. As we neared HomeGrown Pizza, Pikachu caught us and soon after that Lipstick. And now, a word from our sponsor… HomeGrown Pizza, Official Sponsor of the F3 SouthWake BRR 6-man team
Mary: Let’s steal this section for the 2nd F portion of our evening. The runners returned from their 1st F to commence 2nd F which started in the Parking Lot as we discussed the merits of running/not running the week leading up to BRR. As we cooled off and YHC stopped sweating (sort of) we moved the conversation indoors and ordered some drinks. The 2nd F continued on until we transitioned into 3rd F. Which admittedly didn’t happen right at 8pm with the scheduled start of Q-Source. Pablo and our 3rd F Q Dumbo arrived and with the we extended 2nd F as we welcomed them to the table.
At some point we managed to get “serious” and start our 3rd F through Q-Source. The content this week was definitely conversation provoking and the PAX on-hand did a great job of teasing out the nuance of Exhortation. You see exhortation looks and feels alot like any other form of encouragement but there are some specific differences in terms of having experienced a challenge (or something pretty similar) before pushing someone else to overcome it or move through it. Empathy is key and avoiding the role of dictator is a must. Great leadership by Dumbo through the content. This guy is always on point.
If you guys arent Q-Sourcing, give it a shot one of these weeks. Dont worry about being behind or even if you havent read the current weeks content, it doesn’t matter. It’s worth-while just being in the room and thinking through these concepts week on week.
Announcements: Oct 12th Picnic, 9/11 stair climb
