Three of the faithful appeared for a run on a cool, beautiful Friday morning. Johnsonville was Q, and here is out it unfolded: The Thang: Depart AO to east. Run clockwise around AO and take left on Grove. Run to Three Chopt and back again. COP: 12 Merkins 18 slow squats 20 LBCs 15 Dollies 18 Freddie Mercs CIT The Moleskin: I (Jville) was about 5 min. late, not because I was fart-sacking, but because my mind was wandering when I left the house (as it tends to do). I headed out toward work and, after about 15 min, realized I was…

The Rain Gods have spared the loyal PAX of RVA since our nomadic inception in September, providing us with gloriously gloomy, albeit dry, Commonwealth mornings…until today. Aye, the actively wet gloom was as welcomed to our fold as an FNG, when 12 PAX gathered at #NoToll to meet the morning prepared with new base layers, water proofs, and short pants.

Although F3 is new to Richmond, I think the number of people who regularly post and the FNGs that immediately come back after their first post says a lot about the formula. For many of us it’s love at first sight, and days when you don’t post feel like there is something lacking. All that said, starting each COP warm-up with SSH began to make me a bit nutty. Enter the blatant theft of a CLT workout to break things up a bit (sorry I can’t find the exact post to cite the source). 8 posted for a great, perfectly…
