YHC is a single dad this weekend but doesn’t want that to keep him from posting to a workout…so why not Q a 2.0 Friendly workout? YHC is bringing both of his 2.0’s, so he could use a backup Q in case The Chicken Whisperer or Flying Squirrel can’t hang. Any takers? Looking forward to it!

6 stalwarts posted on a Sunday morning for a holiday weekend run. The Thang: 7 or 10 mile options this am. NMM Out of respect for Lab Rat (and the trails), we decided to stay off the trails because of the recent excess of rain in the RVA area. Given that, YHC decided that we would hit the access road next to the river and then do a few laps around Belle Isle and then take Canal street back to the pump house. Good plan? Except, the access road next to the river was a few feet under water and…
