On this Labor Day morning, while the rest of RVA snoozed away in holiday slumber, 48 HIMs of F3RVA laced up, rose to the challenge, and clocked in for a true labor of love.

Because what better way to honor Labor Day than by putting in some serious work? Mosey to the Carillon basin. A few SOJers know my style and were on the lookout for a pile of coupons stashed away somewhere for us to “find”. When…

14 gentlemen found a parking lot in Mechanicsville to get some work in before breakfast. As part of the Summer Tour, the local Davillians notified everyone that The Creek this week was a pre-planned 30 minute workout with 2nd F at Rise N Shine nearby. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring the Lounge, so even though they do not use the Q sheet, YHC signed up to take the lead. Disclaimer and statement that the workout would be short and mostly in conversation, rather than in cadence, music to Handshake’s ears. Some standard warm-up fare before the main event,…
