23 pax took various trips thru downtown WS on a beautiful star-filled morning.\u00a0 The #OGs prescribed route had a bit of a ‘issue’ – going directly through a closed road and major construction zone on Brookstown (as pointed our by @Glazer @ ~11:00pm the night before)… oops… Q-fail.\u00a0 That said, some pax braved their way thru the construction site, while others worked their way around it.\u00a0 Everyone got in their ~6+ miles and made it back safely.\u00a0 Or at least, I think they did.\u00a0 The #Tractors route was a bit less eventful.\u00a0 The intent for both was to cruise around downtown WS.\u00a0 Personally, I love running thru downtown on a clear morning – when it is early, dark and the pax are the main source of traffic on the streets.\u00a0 It was an extra treat that downtown WS has already begun their decorating for Christmas and therefore much of our path was lit up by lighted wreaths.<\/p>\n
On top of that, today is YHC’s 40th<\/strong> birthday.\u00a0 I feel like I had been 39 for 4 years.\u00a0 \u00a0No longer a #Hate.\u00a0 The conclusion of our run included doughnuts, the playing of a song that I’ve heard almost every birthday since I was like 4 years old [here you go – enjoy<\/a><\/strong>], and YHC in my family’s silly birthday hat – all thanks to my M and her collusion with @Balco and @Patch.\u00a0 Feeling special.\u00a0 Here’s the deal… I couldn’t think of a better way to start my birthday (and a new decade).\u00a0 Physically pushing myself… city-scape views… star-filled skies… modifying a poorly-planned route… being with men who push me and hold me accountable and walk (and run) alongside me… and then praying with those men… I mean come on… it doesn’t get much better!\u00a0 On birthdays and anniversaries and holidays we often find ourselves reflecting, and today and the last couple of days I’ve thought a number of times about how blessed I am to be among you men.\u00a0 There are so many things out there to beat us down, but I am confident that the men of F3 have my back, and are always there to pick me up.\u00a0 That is special.\u00a0 \u00a0Thanks to all of you who are there… not just for me… but for whoever the guy is next to you.\u00a0 It is reassuring to be among such #HIM.<\/p>\n #Tractors<\/strong> (4+ miles):<\/p>\n #OGs <\/strong>(6+ miles):<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prayers lifted to Him and thanks and praise given to Him… for doughnuts… and personally for the impact the men of F3WS have had on my life… and for @BlueSteel’s recovery and transition to his new house.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 23 pax took various trips thru downtown WS on a beautiful star-filled morning.\u00a0 The #OGs prescribed route had a bit of a ‘issue’ – going directly through a closed road and major construction zone on Brookstown (as pointed our by @Glazer @ ~11:00pm the night before)… oops… Q-fail.\u00a0 That said, some pax braved their way […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,110,90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ogs","category-running","category-tractors"],"acf":{"q":"Zuckerberg","date":"11\/08\/2019","pax":"Winklevoss, Redeye, Patch, Chisel, Jarjar, Razzie, Booboo, Palin, Schnitzle, Burns (WB), THE Vig, Manscape (WD), Sac, Mongoose, Butter (Butter's Hair), Burlap, Shakes, Bout Time, Glazer, JuiceBox, Beverly, Balco, Zuck (QIC \/ B-Day Boy)"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10740"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10741,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10740\/revisions\/10741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}THE ROUTES:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
