CHiPs Word of the Day

Disruption-to interrupt the normal course of something

In the heart of a man inertia will reign–absent a Disruption (F3QSource)

Be a Disruptor like Jesus.  Read Luke 13:10-17 to see how Jesus was a Disruptor after he healed a crippled woman in the temple on the Sabbath.  This did not go over well with the synagogue leader who yelled at the people in the temple, saying “there are six days for work. So come to be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

 

*The PAX were so worn out by the workout, or maybe it was the cold, but we totally forgot name-o-rama.  Sorry I dropped the ball on that one, but what’s funnier is that no one even noticed until we got to DD for coffeeteria.

A Little Moist, eh

Running 4 the John – Speedwork Edition

15 PAX came out to join us in a little shake-up at R4tJ.  Great showing given all of the draw from QSwap and Fritters!  Thanks as always for showing up and allowing me to lead.

Warm Up:

 

The Workout:

YHC provided some colorful chalk for PAX to mark their laps. On Lipsticks first lap he provided a different kind of mark behind the dumpsters at the first turn.  I dont think I need to tell you to steer clear of the dumpsters but just in case…

Once the laps were done, the group went backwards on the course forming a bigger and bigger Indian Run chain as we picked everyone up on the way (Nemo ignored us and kept running per the pre-blast.  I appreciate Nemo reading the pre-blast and sticking to the plan and the end, he was rewarded with covering more miles than any of us).  Half way around by the dumpsters we had picked up everyone, we turned around and continued the Indian Run until we turned the corner by the tennis courts.  A jail break was called and we all bolted for the basketball courts.

 

Mary:

For time, an audible was called to move into Mary and cancel the 1 mile cool-down (repeating the warm-up).  Dawgpound was nice enough to lead us in some yoga stretching which had the whole group making some “noises”.  Table Top, Pigeon Pose, Runners Pose, and Cobra Pose were among the rotation.  Thanks for jumping in on the cool-down Dawgpound.

Announcements:

  • ATT Long Ass Run – Get your name on the RSVP for lunch so Blue Hen can get a reservation in.  It’s in early Feb, check your Facebooks, Slacks, and Twitters for details.
  • BRR Team Formation Meet-up – Jan 22 at BlackDog Bottleshop – FB and Slack have the details, message UTI for more if you need it.

Prayer:

  • Buford, recovering from surgery – may be out for 6 or more weeks – Dawgpound looking for an opportunity to get him out of the house when he can so stay tuned for a 2nd F
  • Doug Stein – Done with surgery and in PT, wife has a scheduled C section and he wont be fully on his feet by then
  • Ausfart – Lots of prayers for Ausfart, sounds like he is out or will get out of the hospital soon for some home recovery.
