8 men of steel linked arms and pounded the pavement and paths of RVA in the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Conditions were remarkably close to sunny and 70. According to the lone boxer at the trailhead, the following are likely to have happened: Cross the river to Riverside Drive (east), up and down to Belle Isle, and back along the access road, studiously avoiding soiling our “Sunday Best” shoes. Distances were anywhere from 4.4 for YHC doing a rehab gig to something in the 6-7 range for the more traditional runners. Saab may have done 10. Announcements: Vinny’s Field…
You can run but you can’t hide from the rain at Gridiron. The good news is that it was about 70 degrees and it didn’t even rain a lot until the last 10 minutes or so. This was my virgin Richmond Q. I used to Q around 15 to 20 times a year in Charlotte, although typically with an older group. I’ve attended Gridiron many times over the years. I started with F3 ten years ago, either July or August 2011. Since my son has lived in Richmond since 2007, whenever we came up on weekends, I usually went to…

10 absolute BEASTS posted on a perfect 62 degree day at Satan’s Hill to enjoy a VQ beatdown. Nobody was sure what was to come, until it happened. The grizzled vets tried to knock the new QIC off his game by working off cadence to start…but to no avail. Cadence held strong, and that came back to bite them a little later. Here is how it all went down. Warm-ups: Helicopters, Don Quixote, Imp Walkers, Side Straddle Hops, Cherry Pickers, Left/Right/Center stretch, Flutter Kicks, and a Hello Dolly. Mosey up the hill to the first corner, pause, run to the…
