7 men enjoyed perfect conditions this morning for some miles. 6 River Run regulars and a Swiper sighting. No Q on the sheet – no problem, but when the decision was left to YHC the call was easy (if unpopular)…River Downs Roller Coaster – to YHC’s house and back with a couple of gut-punch hills in between.
Rosie and Swiper cleared the path for the rest of the PAX – someone had to keep Swiper on the route and Rosie dutifully stepped up to the task. YHC, Doozy and Orange Crush took turns pushing and pulling each other — much appreciated men.
Bullseye put his head down and threw caution to the wind blew right through the turnaround time, but Orange Crush peeled back and brought Bullseye in on his wing. Well done.
And, LugNut, well we all know LugNut does his own thing and just flat gets it done…this morning was no different.
Well done fellas. Have a great Monday!
No More Gumbo For You!

I forgot to mention the great words from OC to take us out. He is reading the book “Grit” (I think?) and it sounds like the F3RVA PAX embodies the theme of the book – might have to pick up a copy. Well said OC.
Is the Rollercoaster is the new Sisyphus with no Q on the sheet? Maybe, I’ll take next week just in case.
Good run this morning guys!
Great running with the crew as always. Perfect morning for it. Nice to see Swiper there as I worry about Rosie getting lonely since he’s always so far ahead of everyone.
Here’s the link to the book if anyone is interested – https://www.amazon.com/Grit-Passion-Perseverance-Angela-Duckworth/dp/1501111116/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=grit&qid=1553535797&s=gateway&sr=8-2
Nothing can take the place of persistence.
Enjoy!
Yes, thank you Rosie for keeping me on the path. I sort of remember that route from last fall, but no way I would have made it back. Those are some rough hills.
Thanks Gumbo. Next time I’m going to make it to your driveway, but I expect a SAG Stop there.
And thanks to OC for the pickup.
