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.

Numbers, names, and I forget who took us out (Hutton?). Thank you.

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…

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!!

Gypsy

Handshake hid this morning so Roger Roger could not talk about air conditioners for 45 minutes like he did at Circus. The seven who showed up did the monthly Brocode run.

We also learned that way before there was the Richmond “gun hole”, there was a Pinto hole. Whether there is video of him falling backwards in concrete with a suite on while holding his dog is unknown.

Most did coffee afterwards and the smart ones did Iced Coffee. Gypsy also showed up for coffee which was a nice surprise.

It’s Currahee we always have a Q.. We’ll at 930 Thursday night still no Q.. So YHC is local site Q and means I got it.. Show up at standard time and I’m the only one in the lot. Where is EF Hutton?? He is always 1st to arrive. Did I not read something about a convergence? OK. Checked slack. No convergence and it is in fact Friday. Weird. A few cars coming in a bit early. Holy crap it’s Handshake… early??? Am I being punked? 5:29:30. Um excuse me. WHERE TF is Mr Roger and Wally? Something is not right about today. Set the route and we all head out. 45 mins later we all show up.. Well almost all showed up. Bedpan is missing. He missed a turn and as I’m headed out to find him, I get this text: “Curahee. I took the long road. I’ll meet you at Dunkin. I’m already there.”. Lol. My brother Bedpan ran extra miles.. Didn’t come back to AO where his car was and stopped where he knew we would go for coffee. 🤣 Lighthouse gave him a ride back after coffateria.

Anyway. It was a circus of random shit at Currahee today. Glad we all were safe. Oh yeah.. I Forgot.. Roger Roger and Salt lick had a car try to take them out as well. CRAZY times in Westhoe.

SYITG!!

Five of us did all the trails, two did some of them, three walked around Falconbridge and Raintree. All ten made it back to Godwin and most did coffee. See f3rvadogs.org for what the three dogs did.

Kayak/Canoe Wednesday at 5AM at Huguenot Flatwater.

The Bridge Saturday July 19.

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I’m waiting for the night to ccccome
