Is F3 RVA turning into a walking club?

QIC: Wilson
The PAX: Wilson, Aisle 5, Boberry & Exit Row

Four studs arose from the fartsack to finish the week with a run or a walk. Three were dead set on walking and one was……debating. Aisle 5, Exit Row & YHC were planning on their 4.5 mile plan and Boberry was wavering and patiently waiting for more runners, but NONE showed up. Still convinced OTB should be re listed as a walking AO with running optional. At 6:01 Boberry was set on running and we all went off in our different directions. Walkers got in 4.5 miles (getting faster each week) and the SOLO runner logged 6 miles. Great job…

QIC: Tater
The PAX: White Deer, J'Ville, Blue Moon, Gomer Pile, Pinto, Lighthouse, Fireman Ed, Atilla, and Cheetah

Having just dropped off my son at college, I thought today’s workout would be a tip of the hat to the graduating class of 2020…with you guessed it, lots of 20 counts. Also good to see a member of the high school class of 2020 joining us this morning (Cheetah). After a warm up in the parking lot of plenty of 20 counts (Side-Straddle Hops, Arm Circles, Reverso, Merkins, and Suzanne Somers, ABD, we moseyed to the grassy knoll for 10 Burpees. Lighthouse astutely noticed it wasn’t 20, but fear not, we go the extra 10 in later, with plenty…

Eight hombres poderosos posted for early miles. Some went on to tour the T Pott, others attended the Spit Coupon Beatdown and Brewfest. A good time was had by all. Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Great way to start el sabado, caballeros! NMMS: On the amble back, Bulkhead, Swirly and YHC discussed the benefit of incorporating more stretching after the runs. etc. After all, we’re not getting any younger (except Hardywood — who probably has a Keith Richards-looking Dorian Gray portrait of himself locked away somewhere at the alpaca ranch). At the 2dF, Gypsy mentioned that Run IDs would…
