10 dudes, sporting 20 working legs and 2 failing legs, ran (or rode) into the “GLORIOUS” morning for the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Temperatures remained stable at precisely 70 and sunny. According to the same young lady running with her dog, the following disparate routes might have happened: Sunday Funday often starts with a question: “What time does the 7 o’clock run start?” Yep, time to mosey. The main pack did the Bridge (not THAT Bridge, but nonetheless a bridge) across to Buttermilk, then east to Belle Isle. Roll over the river. Back on The North Bank. 6.6 miles.…

The rugged trails of Pocahontas State Park became a crucible of F3 fortitude as the Ragnar Trail unfurled its demanding course over two relentless days. Two 8-man bands of F3 brothers, including the tenacious crew from F3 Roanoke, plunged into the wooded depths, each leg a visceral test of both sinew and spirit. The exchange points pulsed with nervous energy and booming cheers, a constant churn of muddy warriors slapping hands and red,green or yellow slap bands, and launching back into the fray, each returning with tales etched in sweat and dirt of hills conquered and obstacles overcome. The cloak…

When I arrived this morning, there was a guy who I have seen running here trying to join us for a workout. The hard part sometimes is taking that first step to join us. We chatted about his marathon run in Los Angeles, how hills plus other areas are more accessible to train than here, plus future run plans probably later in the year for Richmond. I no doubt run better with someone(cranking out a little over 2 miles in 18:29. I felt good, ready for the main workout with Broadway.
CSAUP training is in full swing and for the third week in a row, MOT hosted 11 studly gentlemen through 4+ miles of brocode running. Lots of mumblechatter. Lots of fun. Thanks Gents!
