YHC was contacted by Phonics to set up the Tomato Run Time trial site where we have hill repeats as it has been awhile since we have had a morning run at this special location. Here is what went down: YHC shows up, then Phonics and we were expecting Opus as he had the suggestion for this event this morning…so @ 5:31 we left for the hill workout location. This route is perfect in that you get about 1 mile warm up and start at the top of the hill right after you cross I-95 and take a left on…

6 men, all hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, arrived on a cold morning in November to learn the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer called ‘The Forge,’ specially built for this purpose. The answer? 42. 42 side straddle hops, then Don Quixotes on your own as YHC recounted one of his favorite stories from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. A modified birthday beast was concocted: 6 times 7 reps up and down Mt Chaplain. 6 times 7 mirkins, jump squats, WW2s, lunges (with an intermission of 42 jerkins on the lower rail), box cutters, and burpees.…

Two mighty Pax loaded bricks in the sack and headed off into the gloom to discuss the events of the world, and maybe just solve a few. A great time was had with a ruck just shy of two hours.

The PAX emerged out of the gloom to gather for 45MOM. As they arrived, each PAX member was not certain they had the right day or time as the recently well-lit parking lot was completely empty. We can attribute that to either courtesy on PAX’s part or misunderstanding of the ever changing parking rules. To make it less stressful, there is no school today (or this week) in RPS. Nonetheless, 6 did emerge from the gloom to take on a hot potato Q (with TYA running patrols around the neighborhood). COP – Pucker kicked us off with some SSHs, Don…

Eight brave souls fought off the warm fart sack to brace the early morning falling temperatures of River Road. A pair decided to dress as twins, others seemed to have missed the plan. Here is what was thought to have occurred according to the predawn ladies of tuckahoe hoping to catch Kubota perform pushups. They, like the rest of the PAX were left disappointed. Warmarama under the tent in front of the church (why has we not used this yet, string lights and everything). SSH, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang (with some Broga), Dancing Cockroaches, Freddie Mercuries. Everyone seems warm. Mosey…

Fourteen gentlemen, all but one in generally a good mood, met in the recessed parking bowl for today’s Spider Run. YHC waited as long as possible to call the route, then disclaimed Mount Henrico. Short instructions and then off we went. We ran up the mountain and then back down. Absolutely marvelous morning for a run. Pre-launch, an older gentleman in a crown vic rolled up and asked where the polling place was located. After some brief instructions, off he went. Great reminder that with the luxuries we all enjoy and take for granted, many of our population are still…
