Two gentlemen with a newfound common bond, launched from BWES for today’s River Run. Not knowing who or how many would show up, YHC had a couple of different options planned. Since it was just two, neither of those options held true so we wandered through Tarrington. Route was something like this for around 4.5 miles.

2 Crusty old curmudgeons made their way to River Run for a coin flip on whether to do a Ruck or a Run this AM. A Ruck was determined but with one vest and two HIM a run was had. Terrington with all its rolling hills was the route with an extra run up Twin Team at the end just to get a value add for the cost of doing business. 101 combined years worth of the do’s and don’ts to talk about from life

Two grizzled vets gathered in the gloom at the home of the Bettie Weaver Fighting Bluebirds to see what the morning held, and here’s how it went down: From BWES, right on Robious, left on Riverdowns S, left on Queen Charlotte and up that big ass hill, right on Riverdowns S, right on Robious, left to the Swamp and JRHS, right on Riverton and BTTF, aaaaand presto: 4+ miles.

With YHC’s normal partner in crime (Doublemint) out on vaca this AM and a half Marathon on the books for this Saturday in Petersburg a nice and easy (little higher pace) 2 to 3 miler was planned. YHC didn’t plan on a hill getting in the way but because it was a shorter than normal run it probably was a good thing. From BWES back to Terrington take a right at the circle and climb, take a left and climb, take a right and continue to climb. Cross Robious and down Twin Team to finish

Two old dudes ran the Reverse Tarrington route and flapped their gums about kids today, bum knees and high fiber diets. One old dude forgot to post the backblast for a few days. It happens …
