  • TYA Will Write It Up

    Seven stallions saddled up for the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Temps were 70 and sunny. According to the person who winterizes the bubblers for the James River Park System, the following may have happened:

    Shakedown and TYA ran two loops.

    UpChuck and everyone else headed south bank, then Buttermilk, then Forest Hill loop. Pigskin got knocked down, but got up again, then joined Hitchhiker to complete 4. The rest completed 7.

    Numbers, names, TYA took us out.

  • Lonely

    Came…. worked out left……alone

  • Solo Light Tour

    YHC decided to take the rest of the week off for the Christmas Holiday season and to start the holidays off right headed out to lead this morning’s run. Show up and no one had posted wait to ensure no late comers and had to take a bathroom break, returned, still no sign of anyone, so YHC sets off. This time the route is through the Giles community for a solid 4 mile run, no trails, just different roads, some unpaved but curb and gutter was installed. Had to watch out for the elevated Manholes as it was dark, (Tuesday was the longest night of 2021) so no daylight until near the end of the run, over the train bridge and turning into Rutland. Throughout this time YHC was able to reflect on the previous 2021 year with COVID-19 still around, adjusting to realization that the mask wearing is going to be around for awhile. Also looking forward to some time off with the family, enjoying some down time and catching up with folks that I have not seen in awhile.

    When returning back there were many homes smartly decorated with lights, some had scenes and others went all out with the entire front yard decked out. A nice run this morning.

    Merry Christmas F3 RVA…I will see you in the gloom. Cheers….CB!

  • Breaking (ginger) “Bread” – Stout that is

    15 men, a few M’s, and several 2.0s converged on Hardywood for a 2nd F opportunity to combine our donations for the clothing and shoe drive yesterday. It was a strong showing that came to discuss leadership, giving, and along the way throw back a few Gingerbread stouts in standard F3 fellowship fashion.

    The Thang-

    Show up with donations for the Karatas clothing and Shood shoe drive. Get in line, grab a beer, and enjoy the company of like minded men and their support teams (Ms and 2.0s). Mosey to a table that we couldn’t seem to get long enough for everyone. 100 mug raises to mouth, mosey to fire pit 100 more, mosey near the windows, 100 more. Time was called.

    Gentlemen, I couldn’t be more happy to have seen such a strong group show up and be willing to give to others in need. We have an incredibly strong group of leaders in the community and it was great to break bread with you all and absorb your perspectives on life and leadership. Several of you I met for the first time, and others I had the chance to get to know even better. Iron sharpens Iron and I appreciate each of you for giving some of your time to each other and the cause. We will post a final tally once we have it all weighed and sorted, but initial estimates look to be over 400 lbs of clothes and over 60 pairs of shoes. T-claps and appreciation to you all!
