A quintet of early risers descended upon the River Road Baptist Church parking lot to see what YHC had in store. No rain, but the dewy thickness of August was certainly present. 5 am sharp and no lights needed, lets begin: Mosey to church patio for warmarama that included the following: Dead Man Hang, DQ’s, Helicopters, Plank Jacks, Heels to Heaven and the ever popular Scorpion Kicks (still not sure what this accomplishes). Everyone seemed warm, lets move. THE THANG: Mosey to church parking lot for 7 of Diamonds. 4 corners of the parking lot with the following exercises at…
Shang Chi, the new Marvel movie, debuts over Labor Day Weekend. YHC is trying to get a group together for some 2nd F to see it but wanted to get input first on location, day and time. YHC’s thought on location is CMX CinéBistro at Stony Point (9200 Stony Point Pkwy Suite 101, Richmond, VA 23235). This location is very central within the F3RVA footprint so it seems optimal but YHC is open to suggestions? The one problem with CMX CinéBistro is we’d have to wait until 1 week before the date to purchase tickets, whereas other movie theaters around…
Seven runners, 2 by road, 5 by dirt, grinded out 7-10 miles on a glorious 70 and sunny morning. Trails were great despite the previous days’ weather. ET’s followed with discussions of BRR and the PAX’s favorite movies. Saab and TYA can’t recommend the movie The Lobster enough.

A lively and plucky bunch, most of whom were looking for some relief of the humidity by way of a bicycle, showed up at Mary Munford’s Elementary School on Friday. It’s been really, really hot lately…like, the kind of heat that when you walk outside you just get mad. It’s August, so it’s really no one’s fault that it is so hot, but when someone recommended an Amateur RAMM Gears, it seemed to make sense to a good amount of people. YHC originally signed up to lead the PAX on a jog around the near west end…maybe a new route…
