Four hoss’s of the apocalypse gathered in the super humid gloom. After working a bit to find parking we got to it. Todays route included the secluded Addison street footbridge across the downtown expressway and a loop around the lake. 2.5 miles out, 1 mile back making the total mileage for today’s work 5.3mi. EF Hutton took us out. NMS – today was tough. 77F and 90% humidity with a storm on the horizon made for a unique day from a weather perspective. As tough as that is, training in those conditions has lasting benefit when it it cooler. After…

Six gathered on the grounds of Atlee High School with 3 different plans. Two rucked, 2 ran, and 2 did a running bootcamp. All were beatdown and extremely wet. This is what occurred.

Corned Beef and Mr. Holland ran along roads and trails on the campus of Atlee High School and surrounding neighborhoods for about 5 miles. Helix and YHC did a running bootcamp for about 5 miles. This is what the the bootcampers did. Run 1.5 miles with Corned Beef and Mr. Holland.…

A New Route to the Old Route

The PAX: Touchdown, House Party, Chaplain, Florence

4 Brothers of the Wood took a chance on YHC’s idea of trying a new route today. Tried the utility road route that goes from the side of Rockwood Park out to Hull Street Rd. But after getting to Hull Street and realizing there were no sidewalks, YHC called an audible and we headed back to our bread and butter route through the Nature Trail and BTTF. 2 miles’ish covered before DTH’s beatdown. Mumble chatter included ongoing discussions of college football and conference shuffling, as well as Chaplain’s adeptness at maneuvering post graduate college courses.

YHC has been away for a bit traveling with the family, but now that YHC is back in town for a week it felt appropriate to get out there and Q it up a bit. YHC picked the Q but YHC’s daughter decided that she would feel sick the night before and stay up and make it a trip to the urgent care around 1 AM. All is fine now and my 2.0 is feeling great, but YHC was a slight bit tired Wednesday morning. But a trio of reliable Wdog regulars were there to greet YHC with smiles. 5:30…

Rare and better than RAMM!

Seven stalwarts slew the Brookmont route. Most opted for the 5+ ish route, some did a little less. YHC took us out. Prayers for Supafly / long covid sufferers & Fudd’s M. NMS – great to see everyone today. It was humid. Handshake missed a rare day – better than any day at RAMM, ever. This is one of YHC’s favorite Currahee routes and the last hill on Crowncrest is a real fitness test. If you squint at the map you can see all sorts of little extensions that enable shorter / longer runs while everyone stays close. Get some!

3 enjoyed some running in the morning. We stopped for three rounds of 20 decline Merkings, 20 dips, and 20 LBCs. After that ran some more, stopping at a football field for a ladder of Burpees starting at one and ending at ten. Finished with more running.
