Thirteen Spider Run veterans and one Davillian showed up for perfect June running weather at the lake. After doing interval the previous day, YHC was ready for something different. This is what occurred.
The Route
All do the 3 mile loop – Roselawn, left on Towana, left onto Campus Drive, left onto Boatwright, left onto Keller, Right onto Crenshaw Way, left onto UR Drive
6 milers – Repeat the 3 mile loop twice
5 milers – After completing the 3 mile loop, take Roselawn to Towana to Campus to Richmond Way. Then take a lap around the lake.
4 milers – After completing the 3 mile loop, take Gateway to Richmond Way or go around the lake several times.
NMS
After Qing an 800 repeat track workout on Monday at River Run, YHC decided it was best to avoid another track workout or hill repeats. For this reason, a route was picked that took the PAX throughout the University of Richmond campus. Using MapMyRun, YHC selected a route that would take the PAX on both sides of the lake. He had not had a chance to test it out. When it was presented to the PAX, Splinter seemed to understand the route. SAAB instantly said he was not doing the route. At 5:30, the PAX took off. It is believed that most PAX members completed the first 3 mile loop. As we came together at 6:15 AM and did the Number-O-Rama and Name-O-Rama, the question was asked, “Where’s SAAB?” He was not back. Nobody had seen him. Did a pack of dogs chase him. The question is still unanswered. YHC guesses that SAAB got the runs and kept going.
Thank you to Splinter and Marv for guiding YHC throughout the route today. Weather was amazing and although YHC does not have a chance to join the PAX at Spider Run often, he always looks forward to the opportunity. Outstanding job by all.
