YHC knew some ruckers would be in the middle of their workout when he rolled up to the Rutland house parking lot. Being early this am some pre-run stretching was in order. Speakeasy runs up to the lot, then Bulkhead shows up also running from home. It’s 5:30 and we are ready to roll. For this route we start with a reverse BoJangle’s route and YHC and Bulkhead stop at the bottom of the hill at Atlee library and walk up to Atlee Road, then begin to run again. We get to the bottom of the hill for the bridge…

Five River Rats hit the currents of the James River for a HDHH paddle-extravaganza. After a couple of the boats were weighted down with coolers, the trek began. Upriver to the Bosher Dam, hang out at the island near the dam for a few. Try to figure out how the Willey Bridge was built and whether or not the pilings were leaning to the North. Search around for Gomer’s sunglasses, which were not to be found. Circle the island and head back downriver, while watching an eagle swoop down and grab a meal out of the water. Could it be…

Nine of RVA’s finest gentlemen converged in the dark lot of Mary for a Thursday morning beatdown. Seeing that YHC drove past the PAX at 5:25 to make a drop off on the blacktop, Pucker asked if there was a “surprise” waiting for later in the workout. Indeed there was… COP on the blacktop. Normal COP stuff today Chutes and Ladders at the Treeline: Run two trees, Bernie Sanders back one tree, 5 merkins. Then run two more trees, back one tree, 5 more merkins. Rinse and repeat to the last tree.Round 2: Same program with WW2s.Round 3: Same program…

A pair of trios fought through the fartsack to descend onto the humid air encompassing South Richmond.

Short mosey to the front of Huguenot High School for disclaimer and warm ups that included SSH’s, Helicopters, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise, Suzanne Summers, Hand Release Merkins and possibly others. No Prince so lets continue to mosey.. Long mosey around the school and thru Snuff Gate, past the tackling rack, oversized tires and onto the plush turf football field.

Gents, after asking around it seems many PAX are out of town to celebrate the 4th, but I plan to work out. Call it a Convergence if you want, OTB, or simply a blast from the past, but 6 years ago our old friend Hardywood dropped a bomb that nearly killed half the PAX in attendance, YHC included. Let’s do it again. We’re throwing it back to Batteau. For those who don’t know, that is a now retired AO at Forest Hill Park. Meet up spot is the Stone House on 41st Street and Forest Hill Avenue. We’ll start at…

9 merry Pax including myself descended upon the outskirts of arguably the top university in greater Henrico County to embark on some disc golf with the help of a coupon and some exercise add-ons.

Mosey with a couple of stops to the disc golf course – half mile trek. 2 carry the coupon while the others run. 25 2 count flutter kicks at the first stop with a switcheroo on the coupon.

A quartet of limber fellows arrived in the early morning hours looking to work out the muscle kinks and aches. Targeted areas included hamstrings, hips, back, quads, some shoulders and neck. The stretchy bands were not a favorite for some of the PAX, while others will be on the hunt for thicker mats to improve comfort. Good times were had by all. Namaste fellas.
