Swiper swiped right for Lab Rat today to get in 3.6 miles of urban mixed running. Down the hill from the VDOT building and over Mayo Bridge. Pick up floodwall then over T. Potter bridge. Pipeline then up the hill to the capital building, Rocky Balboa up the steps and touch the Washington Monument. Swiper was all talk AND game this morning…chatting me up while I sucked wind and tried to keep up his blistering pace! We ended up at 9 minute miles, which is BY FAR faster than I have run this loop solo. Thanks for the shove, Swiper!…

Four road warriors fought the the rush hour traffic for today’s field trip AO. We arrived at Triple Crossing Fulton, exchanged stories and we were off. A couple quick road name changes and we were on New Osbourne Trpk. Dodging traffic, no shoulder, and a surprisingly long hill we persevered. YHC had a cut through along the railroad tracks in mind, but there were all kinds of foreboding signs. The Pax informed the Q that another Pax member (aka the Deli Llama) had been ticketed for messing with CSX and we elected to continue on our known path. Eventually, we…

A PAX of two posted at Roller Coaster during the late afternoon of our country’s Independence Day. YHC and Husky showed up at 5:05pm and did two slow short loops. We finished a little before the official start time of 5:30pm but waited around to see if any others showed up. By 5:33pm there was no sign of any others. YHC and Husky left and picked up the rest of his family from home and attended a cookout at friends. Calories from col beer were inserted into YHC’s body after today’s weight loss session this morning in the gloom. Husky…
