CSAUP Event Truckin To The Pound

Men of Knoxville, this Saturday October 28, 2017 you are invited to attend a Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless (CSAUP) event.  #TruckinToThePound #TTTP

This event was created by the men of F3 Knoxville’s Dog Pound crew as a way to have a longer event such as a Ragnar Relay, Spartan, Tough Mudder, etc. without the added expenses of entry fees, travel expenses, and most importantly the time away from family and friends.

As busy men, just like you we wanted to do something bigger but not have to travel to another city/State/province to complete the event.

So this Saturday instead of wishing you could get out there and do a crazy race come do one with us!  At 0600 we will gather at the Truck Stop aka Bob Leonard Park and we will mosey to the Dog Pound located at Concord Park.  The course is 9ish miles, with 4 stops for mini-Qs or workouts along the way. With some added bonus features if you wish to think of them that way.

 

This event is free!

 

This event is for the High Impact Men (HIM)s of Knoxville to challenge themselves and each other, and help one another get better.

It is a CSAUP event, there are no trophies, medals, prizes or awards. We are all going to go out and get better together. #IronSharpensIron

Start together finish together.  For more information contact Mayberry via DM

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Love as you should.   Don’t just love other Christians, or other guys from F3, or those of the same color, political party, sexual orientation, or college football team.  Jesus came to this earth and spent time with ALL the sinners, not just the ones who had chosen to follow him.

He came and saved all of us, not just his favorites.  Love one another and don’t judge one another.  I live in glass house and I don’t want others throwing rocks at me so I am sure not going to throw rocks at others.

The next time you get angry with someone based on them cutting you off in traffic, posting something on the Book of Faces, their stance on certain issues, or use them as the punch line to one of your jokes.  Remember Jesus died for them just as much as he died for us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve been reading a study about being a better dad, an “intentional father”, and leading my kids to a relationship with Jesus.  For me I sometimes feel like I don’t know how to do that.  I don’t know all the right things to say and do have them learn about Jesus.  But by putting down my phone, work, hobbies, tv remote, etc., and intentionally spending time with them, I’m off to a good start.  By paying attention to them while they play, or ask questions (lots and lots of questions), or eat dinner and putting the distractions away they can tell the difference.

Sometimes our biggest obstacles to being intentional father is we do not know where to start.  Well just like Matterhorn we climbed this morning, we have to be willing to take that first step.  Get up and move, and if we stumble or fall to get up and keep going.  I’m also learning that I have to show that side to my kids.  If I struggle with obstacles and I handle it the wrong way, my kids learn the wrong way to handle obstacles.  In those times of struggles, I have had to go back and apologize to my kids and ask for forgiveness.  Which does a couple things, it makes my kids realize “hey dad isn’t perfect” and “dad can admit when he is wrong”.  My weaknesses turn into learning points.

And when I struggle with an obstacle so much that I seek our heavenly Father’s assistance with it, my kids see that too.  They see that God is always with us to lift us up and carry us when we need it.  My hope is they know that not only I am always there to pick them up, but that God walks with us.  God picks us all up, gives us a hug, knocks the dirt off, and says “Let’s do this together”.

MOLESKIN:
The PAX really pushed hard this morning, even though we did some things we never tried before.  Indian run with pee rock curls being a prime example.  But we all got better!

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Doing more than what’s required.

One of the things that my wife and her father has taught me is to do things better than needed. It use to drive me crazy that they would be so intense on perfection and doing things exactly right or better than what was asked of them. My thought process was just get it done, get it done right, but just get it done and do it quick.

She has taught me to take my time at things when I can and really look at details and how it can be done the best way not just “done”.

Challenge: the next thing you are tasked to do, do it one to two steps better.
