Some posted at 6:30 and ran 10, some posted at 7:00 and ran 7ish +/- Some ran on two legs, some ran on four. Some ran in silence, some ran with YHC. All were better off for having done it. Make it a great week!

10 gathered. 8 ran. 1 cooked. 1 rubbed his heal. Temps were sunny (for sure) and 70 (in all fairness, YHC didn’t check). According to the little fuzzy caterpillars all over the roads, this is what happened, more or less: Gather at Casa de Vinny & Co on Wendover. Run west and south, before returning north and east. Turn left, right, left, and left again. Find a lake. Circumnavigate that lake. Turn right and go to the railroad tracks. Do not cross the tracks. For that matter, never, ever cross Buford. Return up a big hill, take the trail to…
13 enlisted today for the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Temps continued to stay steady at 70 and sunny.

Just under 6.8.Main Body – Element 2 (EF Hutton, Offshore): Same distance.Independent Action (Pigskin): 30 minutes out and back. Numbers, Names, Faceplant…
5 Regulars and 1 FNG posted on a Sunday morning for run on the trails (or roads). South side to north side was called. Faceplant took to the streets (missing saab). NMM YHC pulled into the parking lot to a pretty empty lot. Two cars, one parked in the normal location and one parking rather crooked in a weird spot. After YHC got ready for the run, the drive of the second car got out and asked if I was with F3. After introduction, he let me know that he had seen an article in Men’s Health about F3, looked…
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.
8 men of steel linked arms and pounded the pavement and paths of RVA in the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Conditions were remarkably close to sunny and 70. According to the lone boxer at the trailhead, the following are likely to have happened: Cross the river to Riverside Drive (east), up and down to Belle Isle, and back along the access road, studiously avoiding soiling our “Sunday Best” shoes. Distances were anywhere from 4.4 for YHC doing a rehab gig to something in the 6-7 range for the more traditional runners. Saab may have done 10. Announcements: Vinny’s Field…
4 regulars posted for a slightly wet Sunday morning. Saab opted for the roads, the rest of the crew hit the access road and did and out and back to Belle Isle. A couple of hours at Elwood post workout. No swim today. 300,000 gallons of raw sewage seemed to impact the desirability or a dip in the river. Question is how long will it take for the river to be safe again. Only time will tell. Eat lots of Calamari. TYA OUT
7 studs posted for a run on a perfect July morning in RVA. Route was North to South, stop at the swimming hole for a dip in the river. Great morning for a run. Nip/Tuck from F3 New Orleans was in town for a couple days doing some college touring with his sons. Perfect morning to get up and hang with the F3 boys for a trail run and swim. When we got into the water, he thought we were going to cross the river on the water. Not the plan, but a great idea. We will have to do…
8 studs posted for a sunday fun run.. Route was north to south, with swim at the end. Fun had by all. TYA OUT
6 studs emerged from the fart sack for a glorious sunday morning. Weather was 70 ad sunny. Route was Buttermilk to T. Pottersfield to Northbank to Texas Beach. Stop at Foushee’s Mill for a quick swim, back to the pump house parking lot for a finish. NMM Great to run and chat with Shakedown this morning. YHC had nothing in the tank at the beginning of the run and things did not get better as I went along. The summer heat and humidity kills me. Despite my constant attempts to modify things, it still kicks my ass. Sometimes I wonder…
