Welcome to F3RVA, where breaking away from the status quo serves the F3 Mission, brings families together, creates momentum and space for FNG’s, and where we get to have a whole lot of fun together in the process! The usual runners took off for BRR training while 23 ruck-loving F3 Dad’s, a gaggle of awesome kids, and a couple FNG’s hit the North Bank trail towards the city. The PAX stopped to count off a few times, stopped at about the 40min mark within sight of skyscrapers, snapped a group pic, and then reverso marched BTTVSF for a total of…

The GridIron Gang welcomed an SOJ Summer Tourist this morning. WhiteDeer is still having caber PTSD but at least he stuck around to see. Choosing “more miles” instead of the DTH beatdown, we bid farewell to Gypsy and Mooseknuckle (not sure of his actual name but this bro is proud of his junk and keeps it on display). The remaining 11 PAX followed YHC onto the GridIron.

Four gloom compadres converged at Atlee HS for the Daville Monday Bootcamp option. YHC prize for recent Pickleball participation is apparently a Pickle Elbow (of course Beat It knew all about this), so we focused on legs and abbs today. With a full moon and a freshly shaved Beaver, what could go wrong?! The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey a big latecomers loop around the lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer PRESS PLAY: Bon Jovi’s “IT’S MY LIFE” – Nancy Kerrigans the entire song (alternate side as needed) interrupted by a Burpee with every “It’s My Life” A few of the usual…
That was me for 4.5 miles. Proof that you can achieve anything you set your mind to! The other seven also ran or rucked their way with the main route being Pump to Church and then down and up three neighborhoods: Sterlingwood, Chapelwood and Lake Lorraine. This route proved that Church Road is the high point as all three neighborhoods, 2 on 1 side of Church and 1 on the other, started downhill and of course, ended uphill. I successfully raced home while most everyone else did coffee and donuts at Dunkin.
Blame the Russians! Some how, I signed up to Q, but the Q sheet appeared open for the Forge, so Snuff signed up ready to rock! Anyway, Snuff kicked it over to me at 5:29:59. No problem. Let’s go.

EF Hutton got his Summer Tour point today and got to enjoy the aroma of Short Pump dog park. He came from Broga, so his odor might have nothing to do with the fine aged urine we ran by this morning. We ran 3.35 miles total today, did 11’s of Derkins and Dips and one round of running the bases with the home plater timer doing 10 burpees and exercises at each base of WW2, Squats and Flutters. The backblast title is the text I got from Hutton during his drive home. Labor Day convergence at Nuckols Farm Elementary at…
Five runners hit the circle of vrroom today in the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Temperatures remained 70 and sunny. According to the lone rider intent on squishing Faceplant into the dirt, the following might have happened. South bank (Buttermilk), T-Pottersfield, North Bank, BTTVSF. 1x loop for most of us (6.5 miles or so). Anthrax x2 loops. If you start earlier, you get the trails to yourself, and you get to break all of the spider webs. Numbers, names, and YHC took us out. Announcements: Pickleball Tournament. This Saturday. 06:00 a.m. Forest Hill Park. Sign up in advance. Rumor has…
