So… Just how many Q’s does it take to change a light bulb (or complete an Out-n-Back workout from the fountain)? Well lets see. #1 Uncle Jesse, the original Q that stepped up to take the lead. #2 Dixie Chick, who was asked by Uncle Jesse to get things started since his mileage required an earlier start (no need to discuss that any further. I’m sure the mileage will be made up in grand fashion). #3 (and how many others it may have been past to before I joined the COT. It sounded to me like this number could have reached 10 (the total number of guys standing there waiting for me to finish my run. Yes I’m aware that I am a slow runner). #4 Meter Maid, the final Q that concluded the workout (basically because I was told I had been voluntold to do it). So, to keep things somewhat simple, let’s just say today’s workout took at least 4 Q’s.
Conditions: Dark

COT
Announcements:
* Corncob had a really long announcement that I’m pretty sure I zoned out on (code words for falling asleep) so I can’t repeat it word for word, but the Cliff Notes Version is as follows:
1. Get off your arse and commit to the run challenge
2. We need Q’s at all AO’s (code words for get off your arse and sign up to Q)
3. Keep an eye out for what’s next on the run challenge training plan, which is boot camp tomorrow, or make your own plan. Key point is to make a plan and stick to it. (or was the key point to just get off your arse and do something)
4. This is where things got a little fuzzy for me, so I may have left something out
* Refugee saw that I was struggling and made an announcement that they close on their house today and that the baby is due October 3rd (but they are hoping it comes a little earlier) which moved us right into prayer requests and praise reports.
Pray Request and Praise Reports:
* See Refugee statement above
BOM
NMS:
* We had a “proper runner” buzz the tower (COT) as we closed things up. Koby, you may want to check your running short inventory. Pretty sure he has stolen a pair.
* Alpo’s BB describing the Quit Monster is a must read by everyone. If he won today, challenge yourself to beat him tomorrow. He’ll never completely go away, so you have two choices: 1. Tell him FU or FO and beat him each and every time he shows up. or 2. Let him win by keeping you from being the best you you can be. Just remember, each victory makes the next victory a little easier. The key is to make sure you’re the victor!
* The best part of F3 is that we don’t have to fight our battles alone. But the only way that works if each of us are doing our part to lift the guy next to us up. And if there’s someone you know of that is not beside you at a workout, don’t just wonder where he’s at or what he’s up to, reach out to him and ask. Chances are, if the QM is beating him, he’ll need your help to get back on top.
(And any other acronyms that should be included in a BB)
Until the next Q,
The Meter is paid in full…
