I still remember my first year in RVA, living on Franklin St.



I still remember my first year in RVA, living on Franklin St. about 4 blocks from VCU campus – I was hung over as hell and it was the first time I’d had a city-wide running event ruin my Saturday morning.

Yes, it’s that time of year again, when Winter shifts to Spring, the trees begin to bloom, and a perfectly nice Saturday in March/April gets torn asunder by several thousand spirited people who care significantly more about themselves and others than I do about drinking on a Friday night.

Welcome back, Monument/Ukrops 10K, we didn’t know we missed you.

Here’s how the Fan will be locked down like John Carpenter’s Escape from New York for the next 24 hours (details via WTVR):
