The title says it all really…Holland, out. (ok fine…) A seven-strong PAX lit up Twin Team this morning with an exploratory worthy of (stolen from?) River Run, with added benefits! It went down like this: The run route went up Twin Team, through Tarrington, eventually back to Bettie (just over 3 miles in all). Meanwhile, the Q had a 5-minute timer going, and each time it ran out, the PAX had 10 burpees, 20 WWIIs, and 30 mountain climbers before continuing on. It took the whole time, and it was decent. YHC continues to experiment with time-based beatdowns,…
Reminder: PuppyPile is tomorrow at 7:05am right after DogPile! Marv has the Q! Reminder: DogPile will be Hot Potato after YHC begins. YHC will take the first 15 minutes, then toss it to an unexpecting PAX member! Three Q’s after YHC, 15 minutes each which includes any travel time! Be Ready! Hope to see a large total attendance tomorrow morning with the nice, cool, crisp weather. Kubota

For a number of years the Healing Place, a residential program for men in recovery from addiction, has had a training team for the Monument Avenue 10k. This year they are trying a team for the 8k race that is attached to the Richmond Marathon. They started on Saturday, but only six of the twelve residents who had signed up showed up. Yesterday I went to their all-hands-on-deck community meeting to try to recruit a few new men and remind the others about accountability. I told them to let me know if there was anything holding them back and we…

Swirly should be up in time for the first tee shot. Maybe he will broadcast coverage from Big Blue pre-run. Extra points for anyone in USA Colors and/or Golf Attire for the run. See you in the morning! The attached route is for the 6-milers. 5-milers (actually 5.37 so gotta bust it) – same route just…
