Betty Weaver Elementary

Two old dudes shook off their respective vacations with a slow mosey around the Swamp (4x), down to the Robious boat landing, and up around Bettie Weaver ES for some cool down laps. Problems were solved and sage advice was doled out. ‘Nuff said.

If 1 runner runs in the Gloom does it make a sound? From BWES to the river back up through JRHS once around the track out to River Downs back out and once around the track through JRHS down to the river and back to BWES. About 7 miles

Two jackrabbits and a clydesdale gathered in the gloom of the Bettie Weaver ES parking lot. Under the most recent guidance, the run was speed-optional. Here’s how it went – The Flatline Special: BWES, cross Robious, up Twin Team , right on East Brigstock and keep going – at 22:30 turn around and BTTF. 4.5 miles for YHC; your mileage may vary. Numbers, names, YHC took us out. NMMS: it‘s always a pleasure to run with Doozy and Boberry, and YHC was glad to see their headlamps coming back for the 6 as YHC finally crested the summit of Twin…

2 50+ men took to the mean streets of Midlothian to see who else wanted to rumble on a 70 and sunny morning. Surprisingly enough there wasn’t another sole in sight at 5:30 except for the cafeteria lady and we all know Doublemint and YHC are together not man enough to fight with her. First to the river and back up through JRHS and once around the track, across to River Downs up the big hill and around the back side. Back around the JRHS track and BTTF for right at 6 miles @ 9:05 pace according to Doublemint and…

A couple old dudes broke out their high speed walkers to hit the streets of River Run YHC remembered a route from a summer or two ago that went out around JRHS way take a right at the light and stay on Robious until the last turnaround before 288 then head back and loop through JRHS again. Try not to get hit by a car. Basic 2.5 mile down and back with a very deceptive / sneaky elevation change for a total of 5 miles Great time spent with Doublemint and averaged about 9 minute miles maybe a little faster

Two gloom warriors shed the fartsack this morning to run by (sort of) the river – here’s how it went: 4 mile Reverse Tarrington: up Twin Team, along Old Powderham, across Robious to Tarrington entrance, along Ashwell and the Ashwell Loop, right on Sherford and BTTF for some Old Man Stretches. Numbers, names, YHC took us out. NMMS: many thanks to Boberry for the company and wise counsel during our run. It’s always a privilege to start the day with you HIMs. Make it a great one!

3 figure skaters showed up to River Run trying not to catch a toe pick on the slick streets of the River Downs Route. What was not announced was a behind the scenes text string between YHC and Doublemint deciding to do a Ruck rather than a run just to avoid the old people breaking a hip. Boberry showed up out of the blue expecting to run, Doublemint surrendered his Ruck sack to Boberry and a Ruck was had. According to the GPS watch on Doublemints arm 3.9 miles was made by a trip starting at BWES, down through the…

A trio of SOJ studs posted to River Run to start their week right. Here’s how it went down/up: Reverse Tarrington: 4s – BWES to Twin Team Hill, cross Robious and enter Tarrington at Ashwell, run the loop and BTTF. Doozy – As above, but keep circling back to pick up the sixes Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Prayers for all struggling with COVID, and for the families with kids starting back at school and college. TAPs! NMMS: When Doozy says “I’m going to take it slow today,” he means a 7:30 pace. Singer, thanks for the company while…
