9 men arrived in the gloom to take in a morning run in only slightly damp and chilly whether…
Route: Progress out and back through a 5 roads leading from UR to Three Chopt (Robin, Iris, Tapoan, Ridgeway, Old Mill). Mother-goose approach where leads circle back until last has reached the top (i.e. end of each road).
YHC enjoys his hills and, despite residual pain from this past weekend’s trail run, he wanted to offer a sampling of the various ascents surrounding the campus. Five out-and-back legs were chosen (or what was later dubbed “5 fingers”). The entire PAX performed extremely well on all fronts, grinding out some very steep hills. There was mumble chatter along the way such as “remnants of the BRR”, to “which leg represents the middle finger…”. Overall, YHC appreciated everyone’s effort given either their participation in this past weekend’s trail race, continued running and/or training for a future event or goal, or just running to and from the AO like Marv and Sippy are always prone to do. (Respect to all of you guys!).
Announcements: Please offer up or help support a 3rd F for this month. Given the holiday season, it is easy to forget those for whom this time of year is simply a reminder of their ongoing struggles. Case in point, TYA will be sharing information regarding an organization that offers meals to homeless high school students (one of which works at our stomping ground ET). DK is also working on an event so please reach out to him.

Great work today guys and thanks again for coming out. Two-Can continues to demonstrate what consistent work and resilience will yield.
Great route Saab. I extend my middle finger as a token of sincerity. Thanks for leading the way again.
Thanks for consistently stepping up and taking the lead @ Spider Run Saab! Felt those hills for sure… Hard to get the ole legs warmed up but felt much better on the home stretch… Excellent job Two Can – keep it up brother!
