Pull of the fartsack was strong today.  Topics at coffee included a weekly renaming of the newest WestHoe AO that remains off the Q sheet and the history of the metric system.  What is the metric measure of the gravitational force pulling PAX toward the fartsack?

Mr. Rogers set the pace, YHC kept up mostly, Pigskin and Handshake brought up the six.  Mr. Rogers and YHC gave my lady friend the ol F3 front yard salute as we passed by.  Wally seemed to be built for today’s conditions, Lulu seemed slightly less enthused.  At coffee, Gomer joined and passed the site Q torch to YHC.  Woot Woot!  Back on top.

Maybe 2^nd F tonight – See Gomer

Only five posted on the Friday after Thanksgiving, with zero ruckers despite the advertising to a visitor. We took a simple Handshake route—up to the park and back down to the flag. Three runners, two walkers; the runners covered about 4.8 miles.

Thanks to all who posted! And apologies for the delayed backblast.

Westhoe continues to grow and we are make use of every AO we can. Currahee has transformed from a couple dedicated runners to a full on Run/Ruck AO. Today we had 14 PAX and 3 crotch sniffers join in for this week’s installment of tour da Tuckahoe. Route was Lake Loreine we an add on. 5.25 miles if you did posted route. A few back to last and a few skipped turns made sure no one had same mileage. As for the ruckers.. They tucked the big square around Raintree. Mumble Chatter was epic.. But it’s a mobile COT.. so have to show to know.

If you wasted this much time reading this..then you have 30 extra seconds to go text a pax member you have not heard from in a few months. It might be just what you both need to get through the week. Just go do it.

Oh yeah.. T-Claps to the SOJ crew on the Daddy Daughter dance set up. Way to go on bringing the 2.0s into your Centraca. 👍

Runners, walkers, ruckers, dogs, were rudderless until YHC grabbed the Q at 0525.

Here’s where the runners traveled:

• Exit Godwin via Maremont
• R on Raintree
• Circle the Lake behind Raintree Swim and Racquet Club
• Continue on Raintree across Gayton onto Chauncey
• Reverso (re-circle the Lake if desired)

Never wanting to run the Handshake route, YHC grabbed the Q with only moments to spare.  Little time for planning, but the proper mileage was obtained for all.  If you see Mr. Rogers rucking with a cinderblock tied to his junk, mind your business.  Congrats to Choppa, aka the newest member of Men in Black.  Not sure if he gets the cool mind erasing pen on day 1.

Prayers for all the runners in tomorrow’s half and marathon

The Bridge tomorrow with YHC

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, we conquered. Well done men!

Names. Numbers.

Announcements: EF Hutton will lead a trip to the Bridge on 11/15/25. Thxgvg Day Convergence at 45MOM at 7am. All joking aside, I’m excited about Westhoe’s newest AO, Members Only (a Bootcamp-style workout). After a couple of soft launches, they officially open their doors next Friday, 11/7. I believe this is the only AO in F3RVA on Friday not dedicated to running. Go give ’em some love and check it out!

Prayer Requests: Gypsy’s step-dad discovered yesterday that he has prostate cancer. And his mother needs surgery. Gypsy will be more out of pocket than usual caring for his family. Let’s all keep Gypsy and his entire family in your prayers.

Hutton lost his aunt yesterday. Please keep EF’s mother, particularly, in your prayers as she mourns the loss of her sister.

UpChuck has experienced a lot of loss lately. He lost his cousin a few weeks ago. Just yesterday he learned of the passing of a 30-year old buddy. Additionally, a college friend of his just passed and another college friend recently lost her mother. He’ll soon be attending 2 funerals in one day. One will be led by Bodos. That’s a lot of loss. Please keep UpChuck in your prayers and those friends and their families as well.

Moleskin: There is no shortage of suffering in the world. If you are in a season of stability, use this time to do something for someone else. Lots of folks have lots of needs. Sometimes, just a kind word, or even just your undivided attention, is enough. Sometimes much more is needed. Be on the lookout for ways to help. Remember, when you give away something good, something magical happens. You don’t lose anything. In fact, you and the other person become richer in the end.

Let’s go get this Friday! Happy Halloween Pax!

Only 8 today at Currahee, a far cry from recently inflated numbers. I knew why once I saw Roger Roger’s BB for the newest AO, Wells Bells, a Friday bootcamp. I’m excited to check it out some time. But today was for running.

After naming 12 random streets and watching the Pax’s eyes glaze over, we launched. Chum and Kru rucked it, Salt Lick and Flo did their own thing and the rest did 5.5 mi and 380 ft of elevation gain, helped in no small part from Buffapple Drive, which provided 87 ft of elevation all by itself.

Much was discussed: Stories of balls being punched and other shenanigans from our kids at school. But most notably, it came to light that one amongst us punched Gerald Ford’s son in college. I’ll never say who. I’m not trying to get the secret service involved and you have to post to find these things out.

BTTVF for Numbers and Names.

Announcements: Bootleg takes a group to the Bridge tmrw (10/25). Breaking Bread is still open on Sun (10/26). Continued prayers for Chicharon’s friend who lost his 13 yo son to suicide last week. YHC took us out.

Moleskin: Don’t take the folks in your life for granted. None of us are promised tomorrow. Consider that God has put the people in your life in your life for a reason. Seize the moments you are given. They matter and so do you. Have a great Friday gents!

Fresh as a daisy while running on 4 hours of sleep and having brought peace to the Middle East, Pigskin was back in action.  Rumor has it, when the Boogeyman goes to bed at night, he checks under his bed for Pigskin.  We also welcomed Chum to the front side of the school.  YHC was a little disappointed no one opted for 10 laps around Godwin.

The PAX hoped to raise a glass to Gypsy but the allure of the fartsack or perhaps wedding day jitters kept him away.  Alas, maybe we can roast, I mean toast, Pinto when the time comes.  As the darkness lingers, it seemed like a great day to go through the park, makes sense to YHC.  No one got lost enough that they didn’t make it back.
