Gloom: Six degrees warmer than yesterday, making it 45, but it felt colder. Gloomy as can be of course, as we haven’t fallen back to get the extra sun in the morning. Perfect conditions to test our grit and get a benchmark for the forthcoming FitTest, Saturday November 23rd.
Pre-Partie(s): Kermit and Numbtucks got a 45-minute workout in before putting their bodies through the additional agony. 2.25 mile run, 30 inline merkins and 50 yards of tire flips. Y’all crazy…
A separate 15-minute pre-party consisting of stretches, high knees, etc. was attended by Huggy, Nimbus and yours truly.
16 PAX in Attendance: Barney Fievel (YHC and QiC), Numbtucks, Cheeze Whiz, Gaylord Focker, Hushpuppy, Cathe (FNG, welcome!), Sparta, Ragdoll, Old Hickory, Typo+, ShowMe, Tebow, Nimbus 1500, Kermit, Prof. X (Respect), Huggy & 3D.

- 3rdF (Faith) opportunity: We’re raising funds for Safe Families that will be our “buy in” to the FitTest on November 23rd. Safe Families is an amazing organization that finds homes for children as their families transition through some of the harder seasons of life. Living next to Nimbus, I’ve seen first hand the good that this organization does and the hope that it provides to children that would otherwise have none. Winner of FitTest gets 60% of all for their charity with 10% going to the other 4 regions. I’m going to be going HARD for this charity. Please join me in raising funds for this very worthy cause and lets go win this thing.
- We already have a $1k donation from a generous benefactor that we’ll reveal later, but its up to all of us to grow this and earn as much as we can to bless the Middle Tennessee Region. Any raised funds can be sent to the F3Nolensville Venmo account or can be handed over in another fashion to Numbtucks.
- Keep listening & reading along as we go through the Bible App Romans chapters 9-16.
- 2ndF (Fellowship) opportunity: I want to know when we’re having another game night! If you haven’t had the pleasure of sitting back and listening to Sparta call Numbtucks a cheater for 3 hours straight, I feel sorry for you.
- 1stF (Fitness) opportunity: The Gauntlet is coming Saturday November 9th! Please help me promote this and let’s all plan to be in attendance, as we’ll play host to some out-of-towners! Start and end at Nolensville High School. About 5:30 to 8:30pm. This one will be totally different from our last Gauntlet. Whether that means something to you or not, doesn’t matter! Come out and get sharpened…
- Iron Clad Challenge closes on Halloween! Join the ranks!! Step up and lead, recruit some new blood, get up early and hit the pre-parties, but do whatever it takes to hit the mark and achieve this accomplishment!
It continues to be a pleasure to serve as the F1 for this amazing region. You guys have all gotten crazy strong from the first time we each worked out together. Let’s keep going!
