On this Labor Day morning, while the rest of RVA snoozed away in holiday slumber, 48 HIMs of F3RVA laced up, rose to the challenge, and clocked in for a true labor of love. Under the glow of the dawn, YHC had crafted a beatdown worthy of the day—a gritty, sweat-soaked symphony of effort and determination. Because what better way to honor Labor Day than by putting in some serious work? Mosey to the Carillon basin. A few SOJers know my style and were on the lookout for a pile of coupons stashed away somewhere for us to “find”. When…

4 runners are getting serious about half training. 2 did 11+ today and 2 did 6.75. Slow and steady baby. Still time for anyone wanting to get in on this to join.

14 RVA regulars, one downrange visitor, and one FNG showed up for a Rosie beatdown at Gridiron. According to the geese that tried to take the field, this is what may have happened. Mosey to the middle school football field for a welcome, mission, and disclaimer. Standard warm up fare with some fast paced hillbillies and 5 burpees to welcome the LIFO. Line up on the goal line. Various methods of moving 10 yards at a time – bear crawl, crab walk, lunge, crawl bear, polar bear (thanks Gomer), and others with a new exercise every 10 yards increasing then…
