6 studs and 3 canines got after it despite pouring rain at go time.
Route is to the short pump park and back. Some walked doggos
Pinto took us out. Prayers for healing and travelers. Coffeeteria at Dunkin
NMS- it’s tough to get up in the dark and head out into pouring rain, but you will always be better for it. The solid rain abated around 550 and the cooler but not cold temperatures were worth it.
Get some!
Seven studs braved the gloomy early morning heat (82F) for a little Bro Code – sorta. Two ran faster, Two ran slower, one walked a Lulu, two walked each other. Few others out.
Brocode route today. Hutton took us out.
NMS – all too busy for coffeeteria. Great to see Whitesnake back out. TIL Economics in Latin era originally only covered the home business, loosely what we would call micro today.
Get Some!
This is the morning we’ll make history
The Pax and I
‘Cause I’ll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with the Pax this time
(we ran 5 miles, we ran 5 miles) in robot voice
I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it’s true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it’s the end of paradise
But I know, if the world just passed us by
F3 I know, you wouldn’t have to cry, no no
The best of times are when I run with you
Some rain some shine
We’ll make this a world for the F3 crew
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We’ll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we’ll find
These are the best of times
These are the best of times
The headlines read “These are the worst of times”
When I was injured it was true
I felt so helpless like a boat against the tide
I wished the summer winds could bring back paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down
F3, I know you’d always be around
The best of times are when I’m running with you
Some rain some shine
We’ll make this a world for the F3 crew
No one at Godwin HS, few runners out but Currahee was in force with 5 PAX looking for a route that does not get them lost in the rainy gloom.
Route today was : Old Prescott, Right on Glen Eagles, across the apartments and gas station to Old Pump, then Right on Three Chopt for 5mi or Right through the Short Pump Park for 5.5mi, then Right on JRP and return to the flag.
Doozy took us out. Prayers for his neighbor work has recently developed impactful cancer. Prayers for the PAX for healing and travel for the next few weeks.
Coffeeteria at Dunkin where Hutton was excluded from cool Garmin feature demo and discussion, but like a proper Tucka-Hoe-weegan, then he jumped off the top rope with: “My watch was designed in Cupertino by Apple”
Get some.
Four Redwoods showed up on a sweltering morning for a little jaunt in the west end. We mostly ran the deep run park route.
Pigskin took us out. Prayers for a friend with a breast lump.
NMS. Not much to report today. Lots of mumblechatter with Lighthouse and Mr Rogers – you have to ask them what they talked about.
Get some!
it was the monthly Bro-Code run at Currahee which is a 40ish minute 4 mile route with COT conversation, catching up with pax, and just some plan ole accountability to get of the fartsack.
The Thang: You have to show to know.
no one leads… no one follows.. it’s bro-code. All 1 Pax (including the 2 adopted 4 legged Currahee mascots)
have a great day.
Welcome to Dry July for all those abstaining from libations for the next 31 day.

In order to forestall any runners becoming lost or disoriented, the Q provided official, written “Harvard Business School” approved directions. Later today, Princeton-approved editions will be provided in Ukrainian. Slava Princeton!
Numbers, names, and Handshake took us out.
NMS: Good chatter with EF Hutton and Handshake today. Topics included your mother, Doozy’s running speed (I.e., fast), health insurance, and nipple chafing. Not that anyone on the run had any nipple chafing.
Announcements: We believe there is a Convergence at Dogpile at 7 a.m.
The Bridge, tomorrow (Saturday) at 7:30 in Buckingham. Leave about 6. Please DM me if you are interested. Thanks in advance to Corned Beef, Circle K, TYA, State Farm, and (maybe) Hash for joining me. Other studs welcome. 3054 Dixie Hill Road, Buckingham, VA.
Last day of SOJ takeover. 10 dudes hit the mean streets of Henrico county this morning.
The route: a simple jog down Ridgefield Parkway and back to the flag. Distances covered between 4 and 6 miles.
Numbers/Names.
Hutton took us out in prayer. Prayer requests:
Great seeing everyone today. Enjoyed talking with Lighthouse (my big data competition) and Pinto who I don’t get to catch up with much.
Enjoyed coffee with you all today as well.
I hear Gomer has the Q at Rock and Roll tomorrow. Come out and support.
Nice bro-code run through the neighborhoods to see the sights. The Raintree lake was calm and peaceful with some bass rising on the bugs. Beautiful morning and a great time at Dunkin’ afterwards!
9 nimble giants met in the waning gloom to enjoy a new Orion brocode route on a perfect day for running.
After an excellent overview of the route the PAX led a brief discussion decrying the Qs infatuation with hills. The Q mildly replied that while the PAX correctly identified a passion for training, these mounds are easily ascended – and we set off.
As we got started, apparently some PAX (not Kubota – he is always reliable) thought the Q was kidding about trying the backdoor route then were quite hesitant going in until they tried it for a bit finally agreed with Kubota that the under right conditions, it can work out just fine. All PAX left energized. Pigskin is ready for more.
Lighthouse took us out Prayers for healing, upcoming surgical success, and tough work decisions
NMS – Brocode always brings out requisite mumblechatter. Coffeeteria after always is lively covering a range of topics ranging from labor and immigration policy, who is the slum king of F3, and who might be crazy enough to date returning college age 2.0s on the rebound.
It was a treat have Kubota join us this morning. He helped recon the AO when it was just an idea.
YHC enjoys this route for the hills in all the right places, but also the quirkiness of the 1979 vintage covered bridge. We have always run pieces of this route and the complete 4mi route debuted during the CSAUP. It is a keeper.
Get Some!
