10 dedicated runners set out to complete Richmond F3’s newest Tuesday AO: Spider Run. The Thang: Head out down the abandoned road next to CCV and come out at the shopping center. Cross the Huguenot Bridge and take the Riverside Drive exit. Head west upstream to Cherokee Rd and come about to return to the VSF. Total Miles: 5.3* *Additional mileage for Lockjaw, Saab, Fudd who ran to and from the AO, Swirly and Saab for their search and rescue mission. NMS: Wow, where do we start with today’s backblast. Fudd shows up with a swollen hand from a wasp…

8 steadfast runners showed up at UR to run in a dark, reasonably warm, and not so rainy morning. Here’s what transpired: See route below. There were slight derivations from this but otherwise YHC attempted to distill the maximum amount of elevation from the past 2 postings. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=6838912 Moleskin: We essentially split into two groups as we progressed into the route, with Saab “leading” one group and Lockjaw leading the other. YHC uses the term “leading” mildly since he was continually working to keep up with Sippy and Marv while calling out directions from behind. That said, you would find…

Eight runners posted for a chilly morning run in spring time. Here’s the route: Head west from the UR Commons and cut up to the parking lot between the Robins Center and the baseball field.  Go by the fraternities and take the break in the fence.  A left on Baldwin to Westham Pkwy.  A left on Westham and cross River Rd.  Down the hill to Westham Station (the lead pack ran back up the hill for bonus miles).  Take Westham Station out to the shopping center and pick up the abandoned road back to UR.  BT call an audible for…

In what could be a record setting day in the history of the Richmond F3, five guys met up in the new gloom of The University of Richmond campus for what, rumor has it, was the area’s third F3 AO of the morning to go for a 5:30 campus job. A plucky couple of homebodies who had no internal desire to cross any rivers or even Broad Street brainstormed about 2 1/2 miles in to the Munford run on Friday that another run on Tuesday might be in order.  Biblically speaking, where there is more than one, God is there…

When: Tuesday 3/29, 5:30 am Where: University of Richmond Bookstore/student commons (parking lot near said Commons and lake) – AKA Gryffindor hood What: Run (4 miler) How: By tackling many uphill climbs This run will involve much elevation across a variety of areas in-and-around U of R. For those who may want to do fewer miles (or decide later that the route is too punishing), there will be options to switch to shorter distances. Thanks to Marv for initiating this. Please let us know if you are interested. Saab Starting location: 37°34’34.1″N 77°32’18.6″W Route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6827798 Alt Route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com?r=6838912
