Returned just before 7:00 to find Honeymoon and a few minutes later Shake (who may actually be the YHC for this post, or at least the 7:00 AM YHC). Amidst the heat and humidity it was nice running before the sun was fully up, the…
3 SOJ natives (1 expat) and 1 Sheriff to keep order (although LIFO) started out the morning with some miles. For the 3 natives, it was a flat out and back 2-mile loop down to the River and back to the Flag – do 20 SSHs and 20 LBC at the Flag and the REPEAT as many times as possible for 45 minutes. YHC had to pull into pit-row after the first lap, but managed 2.5 for 5 miles. I believe Splinter and Rosie may have gotten in a full 3…I lost sight of them. Rosco was not deterred when…

5 runners and 1 rucker took on the dawn at Tomato Run this morning. The runners started light, but Wheelbarrow joined up about a half mile in…hoping we were toting an oxygen bottle…we were not. He eventually caught his breath and we settled in for a friendly paced bro code run. Route doesn’t matter, but the banter was good. Subjects covered included: -Wheelbarrow is quickly becoming the go-to guy for brewing in F3 lately. Sugar Sock has some experience in the brewing department as well. Sounds like an F3 brew day is in the works. -Vinny lives in a house…

Olivander was running with a restrictor plate. NMS: Good to catch up with Olivander today as it was YHC’s first…
Six of the faithful met at GridIron on a humid morning. The Pax showed a strong tendency early to stand around and socialize.

With the assumption that water levels keep to their projections, we are going to venture forward on our first trip down the river this Thursday (6/28) at 6pm. If water levels cooperate, we will meet at Huguenot Flatwater under the bridge for an out and back excursion. If we have high water, we may opt for a Robious to Huguenot downstream run. If you are interested, let me know who is a HC by Wednesday evening so we can plan accordingly. For those without access to a boat, we may have a few extra spots available as well so don’t…
