Six of the faithful posted in the pre-dawn gloom at GridIron. It was cold. We started the day with a PreGame 3rd F study and discussion about the treatment of Knowledge in the Scripture. The discussion was deep and meaningful, and there were many interesting interpretations and lessons. We then entered the Gloom with YHC at Q. YHC had planned a Murph, and instructions were given to run to the track, do 1.5 laps, run around the school grounds the long way, and convene at the pull-up bars. HOWEVER, we arrived at the former location of the pull-up bars only to find…

This morning was reminiscent of going to church growing up. You had the faithful never late, the fast walker, the five minute runner and the one who never showed up. Can you remember the excuses for the one who never showed up? Stayed up to late, went to bed to late, the client wouldn’t go home, it was an unusual Friday night and even tried to blame it on a fellow F3 member… We love you Night Crawler. We even thought about face timing you for the pregame on top of Mount Trashmore. It just would’t be the same…

Pre-Gaming resumes at GridIron tomorrow at 0640. Focus will be on spiritual growth based on 2 Peter 1:3-11 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6…

The 3rd Anniversary Convergence was a double-dip extravaganza to celebrate three years of F3RVA. Thirty-nine (39) of the faithful gathered in the darkness at 0600 at GridIron, and forty-three (43) of the faithful, plus seven (7) FNGs — fifty (50) in all — gathered at 0700. By my number-cruncing, it added up to 60 different people posting at one or both workouts, with 10 posting early and not late, 21 posting late and not early, and the balance double-dipping. It was a perfect early autumn morning, and the grass, sand, and pavement were bathed in chilly morning dew, which we…

A cooler, late summer morning brought a PAX of 8 for GridIron. Byproduct arrived first followed by Mr. Holland (new to the GridIron AO), Alpo (recently relocated to Fredericksburg from Kernersville, NC F3), GridIron regulars Attila, White Deer, and Flip Phone, and YHC. Right, you count 7 names. More on that later.

Most other Saturdays, we’ve…
