Urban Farmhouse Midlothian

4 middle aged cyclists shrugged off the fartsack to book some miles in preparation for a century in a few weeks. Launched from the DOG, down Westwood through Brookland Park to the Cannon Creek Greenway south. Picked up the Cap trail and headed East to turnaround at Varina HS, back to downtown, cross the river on the Potterfield, up Riverside, back across the Nickel, make a few turns to arrive back at the DOG. Stats: 28.3 miles, in just over 2 hours, w/ 900 feet of elevation. TClaps to NoTools for keeping us going the right direction and for logging…

7 Runners, 4 walkers, and a friendly pup got out on the streets for some low humidity Sunday miles. Runners found some hills in Salisbury getting ready for the Homegrown Half on 8/19.

5:57 a.m. 5 blurry eyed runners discussing the running route for the morning when Aisle 5 comes in hot. No Wilson today to join Aisle 5 for a walk, but there was a backup plan: electric unicycle. Pretty much the last thing on earth we expected to see this morning was Aisle 5 charging ahead or behind the running Pax with his bionic enhancements. Really cool. Played music and everything. 10k knocked out just under an hour. Starbucks post run. Good second F on a variety of topics including bourbon and the pros/cons of men’s short shorts. P.S. Text a…

4 runners out for OTB on a great Sunday morning. We got 6.5 in thanks to Draper’s route skills. Aisle 5 and Wilson walked and solved all the problems of the world. Can’t ask for a better start to the day.

Two big nasties who surely traded some helmet paint on the football field with each other back in high school today traded stories and struggles and triumphs over a smooth 6-mile run. Excellent morning. Thanks Armstrong. It was great talking and getting to know you and starting off this wonderful day with a good sweat. Our group is amazing and motivating. Generally the more the merrier, but YHC loves a good one on one run with another PAX member to get a little deeper. We all have shit going on – good shit and bad shit. It all easier and…

Three then four river rats grabbed their boats and paddles and hit the shallows of the James River at Huguenot Flatwater on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. After Oyster caught up to us and we made it the the Willey Bridge, a nice goose-poop covered crop of rocks, hosted us for a few moments of beverage drinking and swimming. Try Hard and family were also on the waters enjoying a relaxing afternoon lounging in the secret creek. Deliverance 4 is scheduled for this Wednesday, unless the rain for Wednesday comes early. Stay-tuned! Kubota

4 men that would rather bike than run met at the Big Dog Wed AM for a loop around the city. Route took us north on Hamilton, looping East on Brooklyn Park down to Shockhoe Bottom where we turned south taking the Canal path west to cross the river on Potterfield, west on Riverside, crossing back north across the River on the Nickel, then back to Woodfin. Distance 17.05 miles in 1h 17min. NMS: Great ride with good dudes watching the sun come up over the river and seeing the city right before it starts buzzing. Enjoyed it fellas!

Four runners lit up the streets of Salisbury for this week’s edition of OTB. Route was familiar but backwards from the usual…and so seemed a bit different. Thanks to Draper for guiding us along. Runners got anywhere from 5.5 – 6.2. All of the world’s problems were solved. Really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful morning for a run.

Wilson may be ready to join the ranks of the millennial and GenZ cord cutters. Aisle 5 still watches PBS on a 13″ screen. The 3 runners added some extra mileage to avoid Mt Midlo but that may not have been easier. Boberry will always say yes to the Manders hill if given a chance.
