Introduction
2nd week of November, Week 3 of Reindeer Games. The weather is prefect…This was to be a “recovery run?) That means different things to different people.
Warm-O-Rama
Warmed up the PAX in attendance with some SSH, Arm Circles, Good Mornings, Calf Stretch, a mosey that included Side Shuffles, Butt Kickers, and High Knees.
The Thang
Did a good ole’ run out towards Settlers Park and back. Asked PAX to be back at the flags at around 0550 for some stretching. Bunny Hill and Singer eventually separated themselves from the PAX and got some good mileage in. 3 plus miles put in by all in attendance. Once all the PAX returned to the flags, we stretched out a bit. YHC threw in a few new movements (a different kind of flutter kick, single leg glute bridges, and some clam shells (one side so the PAX had to do the other side later)
Circle of Trust
Ozark did what Ozark does and went over the announcements…Thanks brother! YHC had a short COT that focused on getting out of our comfort zones. Witnessed many men doing that on Sunday morning by doing half marathon rucks/runs. Get out of your comfort zone. Invite men to join you in getting out of each others comfort zones. Eliminate obstacles together.
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC saw there was going to be 5 PAX attending the Run Club. Unexpectedly a six car pulled into the parking lot and a man joined us for the first time. I heard him say I’m Brian, new guy. Once YHC saw his face I knew who this FNG was. He was welcomed by all the PAX and YHC made a comment that we just ran by his house off of Ft. Beggs Trail ( I thought he knew who I was, but as I found out he thought I was Dilly Dilly). We ran, chatted, and towards the end of the run I asked Brian what made him decide to come out today. He asked if there was some leader of the group and I said we have a shared leadership team…He said some guy had stopped by his house when he was doing a dress belt drive supporting Rich En Deed (helping men get back on there feet, get back back to work, etc) . He had posted the donation opportunity on a FaceBook page he had created call the Dads of Plainfield (yes Brian created that group). So back to the story…This guy shows up. drops of the donated dress belts, leaves a F3 Plainfield business card, and the the seed was planted. Brian hears about our group off/on. Likely saw the F3 Plainfield posts that Jellystone (Chris Countryman) and others marketed on the Dads of Plainfield page. Brian mentions he heard another guy that lives by him Jake Bradley (Trugreen) talking about F3 Plainfield…..the seed is growing…and today, Brian, woke up early and decided today he was going to go check out F3 Plainfield. He had no idea what sort of workout it was going to be, he just knew somebody was supposedly going to be there at 0515. I tell Brian…that guy that dropped off the belts and the F3 Plainfield marketing card was me. Apparently we look different in the gloom as he though I was Dilly Dilly (I’ll take it as he’s better looking)……So YHC had to look up where this started…so not a year ago…it was April 4th, 2023…YHC remembers after leaving Brian’s house (his home backs to Ft. Beggs Trail) YHC mentions we workout in the area and have on many occasions stopped right outside his house to do squats, etc. On April 21, 2023 another tap by YHC was made asking what Brian was doing the next day at 0515. Just checking…Brian responds keep checking…April 28th 2023…checking in…Response…not yet brother…May 4, 2023…Convergence at The Wood…lots of MEN will be there…Cant do it as he has kids that weekend…11/13/2023…Brian shows up (things happen for a reason) and Brian is now known as Belt Buckle. Give this gift away MEN…..Enough said..
