[F3 Northeast TN @F3NortheastTN]

Major milestone on Saturday—5 years strong in Northeast Tennessee! Shout out to @F3LexSC and the others who helped plant the seed. The roots are strong and lives have been changed for the better.

Six years of ⁦@F3Nation⁩ and planting ⁦@F3NortheastTN⁩ 4 years ago has taught me a lot about leadership. Taking these principles to where I see a need. Improving population health starts at home-with public health. Not with words, but example. https://t.co/KSap95wlR6

Related to the most recent piece of misinformation circulating.

[Nathan Hale @drhale_etsublue]

I looked into the most recent COVID data talking point: "Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned."

Reading @DrIbram Stamped From the Beginning. Not sure exactly what I was looking for in a book to help me better understand racism—but I found it. Historical, connecting past & present, uncomfortable self-reflection, deeper understanding. A must read in this season of learning.

One day time will rob us of our abilities and our friendships—today—is not that day.

Yeti 24 underway—5 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours with some great human beings.

@ZaackHunt 13th verse of the 45 Chapter of Isaiah would confirm at least the 1st part of that assessment—“He will rebuild My City and set my exiles free NOT FOR A PRICE or a BRIBE, says the Lord of Hosts.” 🤷‍♂️

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

Having been raised in this vein of Evangelical Christianity—@Peter_Wehner assessment is spot on IMHO.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

Great interview on @MSNBC with @RevJacquiLewis and @Peter_Wehner. So good.🔥https://t.co/v0BjzEWEaM via @msnbc

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

Murph will always be my favorite workout. But for me—miles 18-26 of a marathon feel a lot like the 2nd Murph mile—except you have to repeat it 7 more times...

[F3 Northeast TN @F3NortheastTN]

The real ball drops at 7am tomorrow with the 4th annual New Years Day Murph at Arrowhead. No hollow resolutions—just getting after it—setting a tone for the next year.

“It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists & the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.”

(In 2016, Billy Graham was 98 yrs old and suffered from hydrocephalus)

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

Man—miles 18-26—hard to describe. Pure misery.

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

The M and I are attempting something that we have never done before—run a race together. She likes to talk and encourage. I like to curse and question my life decisions. If we make it to the finish—I feel good about our marriage going the distance.

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

Any @F3LexSC OGs running Kiawah this year? @F3NortheastTN has 7 coming down.

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

Last long run before Kiawah in the books. Celebratory making it to the end of the training cycle injury free beer—before noon. I combined it with my annual birthday, day off work run & beer.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

I love that Bible verse, @Franklin_Graham. Few Scriptures capture the hypocrisy of Trump-evangelicalism more poignantly than Isaiah 5:20.

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

Is the flickering black screen while streaming ESPN through ROKU related to the earlier “outside vendor issue” @slinganswers This is really annoying. I don’t mind some interrupted streaming—but this is ridiculous.

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

@F3KenDoll @F3SnakePit @kgrinder Me too. Wasn’t my first F3 workout but it’s the one that stuck.

[Nathan Hale @giveithale]

First marathon ended in disaster. Trying to make sure that doesn't happen again by training smarter and working on my running form. Kneed for Speed - Run Faster, Finish Stronger: https://t.co/fA6Tmtq9dB via @@runsmartonline
