  • Never Take It For Granted

    2 Early Ruckers, 2 Runners, and 1 5:30 Rucker explored the roads of Rutland this morning

    Early Rucker did their thing

    5:30 Rucker hit the side roads and trail of Rutland to get in 2.5 miles

    Runners did the Rutland/Cool Spring Forster Trail Loop to get in 3.5 miles

    All made it back with some time to spear and YHC took the moment to share some sad news he received yesterday morning

    A prominent member of our Atlee community and former elder of YHC’s church unexpectedly went to be with the Lord Tuesday afternoon. Johnny who was EHed by The Carpenter and YHC a few times in the early years of DaVille was only 43 leaving behind his wife and two children

    Losing someone close like this and so young has remained my our short our time on this world is so short and to not take it for grant. Each day we have with our family, friends, and our F3 brother is a gift. This loss was remainder of our precious that gift is.

    “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

  • We Should EH That Runner

    3 Davillian Runners and 1 easy EHed runner, enjoyed fall like morning for another Davillian run day.

    Route – Revise traditional route with running the Cool Spring West loop (on the road), Knollwood, and returning via the Rutland loop for 4+ miles (depending on your GPS)

    What started as 3 runners became 4 about after the first 1.25 miles when the PAX was heading to the Knollwood loop with a head lamp heading to us which drawled the question “We should EH that guy!”. Turns out that was easy since it was Phonics who was a LIFO and started his run the traditional way.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS – Good Luck to those in the Pickleball Tourney this Saturday. Go Team Daville (Corned Beef/Bulkhead)

    Got to know Ricky Bobby from Columbus, OH. He mentioned that all Buckeyes come to SC to vacation since its the “closest” beach for them not at a lake.

    Manziel was celebrating his 58 birthday on Tuesday. Much repeat to this Q. During the COT, he shared a recent article he read mentioned that the average life span for men is around 78 years. That for him would mean he has 20 summers life on this earth and the fact he would be during something special everyone of those 20 years.

    The challenge was given is what are we doing with your time on left this earth?
