13 fearless tackled RAMM in the gloom and here is how it went dow.
Old School route : 4 Milers Grove – Malvern – Three Chopt – back to Mary Mumford – 5 milers – Grove to Roseneath – Three Chopt – back to Mary Mumford – 6 milers – Grove to Boulvard – three chopt – back to Mary Mumford.
First off : Most everyone stayed in their warm vehicles until 5:27 this morning. Props to Honeydo, Saab, and Swirly for rocking the shorts – beast mode baby – what the heck were y’all thinking ?
16, 17, 18, 19 degrees – whatever it was cold out there dudes – great job to the pax for taking on old school this morning… Saab was freaken on fire running like a man on a mission he ran 6 and passed everyone that did the 4, 5 routes – dude way to crush it.. Shout out to Bleeder and No Tools for walking 2.5 in that weather – way to stick with that rehab Bleeder.. Sippy had a great run but his eye teared up and about froze shut on him – way to battle through Sip… What a beautiful cold morning for a run – way to push it fella’s …
There is sure to be some colder Friday runs coming our way – let’s see who sticks with the shorts… Everyone jumped in the car after ball of man – and yelled out – see y’all in the gloom.
Man that was fun! See y’all in the gloom…..

Enjoyed it fella’s – thanks for bringing back old school TYA!
See y’all in the gloom..
Great run guys and nice to see such a good turnout in such weather. (As TYA pointed out, there was a PAX for every degree in temperature this morning.) Has to be a first for a PAX to have his eyelids freeze shut…a testament to what everyone braved this morning.
Of note, my pace today was simply a reflection of how quickly I (Johnson) wanted to get back into a warm car.
My wool socks made the shorts choice tolerable. Glad to see 13 here and 15 at The Creek on about as cold a morning as it can get in RVA.
Great run guys. Shorts today was ridiculous. I had two layers downstairs and was mildly chilly. Saab had “special”, thicker, Johnson warming shorts on this am. They looked normal, but I can’t imagine what is underneath to provide such a varied array of features. Maybe next time Saab should bite the bullet and borrow his wife’s tights
Thanks for holding the COT for me this morning. This was the wrong morning to be a straggler!
The return of the third sock! Love it.
