14 of SOJ’s finest came out to see what was so spooky in the graveyard of New Market. There have been many FNG’s that have graced us with their presence. Some have only come out once or twice while others were OG’s that helped build the foundation for F3 RVA. We miss them all and hope that they find there way back soon. There was much anticipation for how this was going down. Here is what I made up on the fly. Run through the hood and stop at every former F3 members home and perform what was remembered or…

2 dashing young F3 patrons emerged from the gloom for a stroll with weighted pack, under the Sky Q’s starlit vault whilst having some pleasant mumble chatter. These fine fellows logged 3.5 kilometer in just 40 minutes time.
A 10-PAX of high energy HIMs shrugged off the fartsack to embrace a 40 degree DTH beatdown. After seeing the virgin turf of the new baseball fields during the ruck, YHC decided it was high time for breaking in new ground. Here’s a tough one for the history books.

Where two or more are gathered…great things can happen. Big Rig joined YHC for a few loops around Rockwood and inspecting the new baseball turf fields while discussing deep matters of life change. The beginning of change is recognizing something needs improving. We all have blind spots and sometimes the things we most need to change we can’t see ourselves without the insights of a loving brother. YHC is thankful for Big Rig and so many others who have shown up, led by example, and earned a seat at the accountability table. We are stronger together brothers. Yours AYE! ~DTH…
2 frisky fellows emerged from the gloom for a false costume party beatdown. The only thing YHC had going was a strap for the glasses and was trying for the Kurt Rambis look(Jersey not included).

Now that Currahee is officially in a turf war with those elitist snobs over at Members Only, Currahee will be leaning into being a place that all are welcome. Currahee is for Ruckers and Walkers and Runners, and even non-humans, like my ever-present companion, Wally. And all of these types showed today, 13 strong. Being the end of the month, the Bro-Code protocol was engaged. But backwards, because why not. We came, we saw, we ran, we rucked, we discussed human success as a relationship to birthrate, we laughed, we got honked at twice, we mostly picked up the six,…
