The pax showed up to do a 3, 4 , or 5 mile out and back which took us down john rolfe parkway to broad street and back.
The 3 mile route turned back at the speed limit sign on John Rolfe. The 4 mile route turned around at three chopt and the 5 mile route turned right on broad for .2 and came back to the start.
Roger Roger, Mr. Rogers, Hutton, bedpan, pigskin, white snake, lighthouse, full house, handshake, Gypsy, and byproduct showed up
Mr. Rogers put out a Q APB last night, YHC responded….this morning.
Here’s where we traveled:
Numberama, Nameorama, COT

New faces at Currahee as a byproduct of the Circus circus of late. Someone asked if this was an AO PR. It is in fact the 2nd biggest Currahee turnout, bested only by the PAX of 16 or 18 two weeks ago. Apparently, a distant memory either way, and those figures remain unaudited. Today’s numbers are official in my expert paid opinion. Trust me, I’m certified.

11 Men and 3 dogs came together for the final Friday Bro Code pace route around the Tuckahoe area. Situation Normal…. Nothing major to report.
45 min run on a 4 mile route. Turn back for 6 on each turn. All men got 4 miles and some for 5.
SYITG.
16 men who sort of look like us launched early on the turniest route in the entire history of F3RVA, even that parts that YHC knows nothing about. Temperatures were, of course, sunny and 70. According to the lady getting in her car (and wondering who the 13 guys were), the following might have happened.

Announcements:
Summer Tour continues…in fact, at Currahee today.
Labor Day Monday, 7:00 a.m., Dogpile, Convergence. Lots of freebies and giveaways. Rides, attractions, etc. The slip and slide would be a nice touch…just sayin’.
Westhoe men…town hall at Gomer’s on Tuesday. Topics are all very secret. Apparently. See Slack (the current Slack, not the new fancy Slack) for details.
With less regulars (looking forward to the return of Gypsy, Pigskin, Lighthouse, EF and Whitesnake, to name a few) and more new brothers (GreenHornet and Plus One have been getting after it daily – but where is Banjo today – not to mention Magnum PI – will that guy ever come back from Peru or is he leading a tribe of like-minded conservatives living deep within the jungle?), 6 of us headed out to battle the mean streets of Westhoe. Seems like we hit all the hills with a little Falconbridge, then Raintree, past the covered bridge with a new stop at Buffapple (this hill is no joke), up Summerside, down Glen Eagle, then back to the start, but seeing it anew, with fresh eyes, as we all learned much along our journey.
All made it back to the flag in one piece and with the same number of dogs. Success! Nice work Gloom and Wally.
Numbers. Names. Announcements. Bridge and Home-grown 1/2 on 8/16. Labor Day Convergence on 9/1 at Dog Pile at 7am. No prayer requests. YHC took us out.
Look for someone that might need an encouraging word or some help today. Look for these opportunities and seize the moment. Be the man God designed you to be and step up to help.
SYITG!
6 gathered for a nice cool start to the day and to earn their after workout donuts. No Q signed so I took the lead. Decided to run the “Figure 8” route which we are not sure why the name, really more of a P or a q. Great morning again to be out and odd the had more at WTH than here this morning…
Queue the music (Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss), and Orson Welles narration
2000 posts ago, an ape like creature named EF Hutton inhabited F3.
(music & timpani builds)
And EF Hutton stood and then ran
(After a well deserved fartsack after post 2000, EF Hutton and eleven others went on a journey to Lake Lorraine/Glen Eagles.)
(music builds, more timpani)
Rosie, Sippy Cup, Blood Test, Honey Do, Viral, Swirly, Bleeder join the scene with Hutton and discover “something”

You’re welcome.
Despite the heat and humidity, eight showed up for some Friday morning miles. Being the last Friday of the month, we stuck to our usual Bro-Code route, doing our best to stay together as a group. True to form, we still managed to lose Handshake—who had to cut it short—but the spirit of the code lived on! Great effort by all. Keep pushing forward!
Eight showed up on a warm Friday morning ready to take on the Glen Eagles hill and its many cul-de-sacs. Why? Because running uphill is super good for you—don’t just take my word for it, check this out: NYT article. We logged about five miles (give or take), enjoyed the effort, and appreciated the company. Great way to start the day—strong work, gents!
Two for a run out of Godwin before the clown car to the official Independence day convergence at Atlee. We got in 5 miles with a very simple route. All runs are mobile COT so you gotta show to know.
SYITG!!
