2 runners and 4(!) ruckers, with Corned Beef rucking on his own path after arriving late, waded through the mists. Maybe this is turning into a rucking-led AO. According to YHC’s watch, the runners covered 5.36 miles, which I believe is a personal record for YHC during an F3 workout, excluding times when there was some extra credit. There was some really clever banter during the COT, but I was still too out of breath to remember anything noteworthy a few hours later except that my shirt was very wet. No Idea took us out.

YHC was planning to surprise the group with some real running business–a tempo run–to coincide with the beginning of the school year. YHC’s youngest 2.0, however, prevented anything resembling a normal night’s sleep for YHC who instead called a nice easy run on the Farm House loop. 3 Davillians led one summer tourist on what is the closest thing to a standard route at this AO. YHC’s easy run was foiled by deciding to keep up with Phonics for about 5 miles, which turned into a tempo run for YHC. Opus and Honeydo logged about four miles, and the ruckers…

Opus and YHC took it easy getting 5k+ while Marco Polo and Speakeasy did some loops around the HS parking lot to get closer to 5 miles Ruckers got in a full 45 minutes and 3 miles Great to see Lockjaw this morning Spit…
3 runners parted the mists to scout the hilly terrain of the not-yet-mapped southwestern quadrant of the Giles neighborhood. The mission from YHC was to assess the likelihood of an eventual trail connection from this back corner of Giles to a nearby street. The societal need for such a connector is great because sometimes YHC is bored and wants a different way to torture the Pax by making them run back up the hills from the back of Giles at the end of the run. After the recon and a review of the resulting cartographic record, the probabilities favor continued…
6 Davillians as a group did a triathlon the F3 way. A pair of bikers went about 10 miles, with both YHC and Phonics contributing to correct and wrong turns along the way. Opus and Marco Polo kept the traditional Anvil Run going with just under 5 miles, and Corned Beef and No Idea both posted to ruck so that Yardsale would not have to ruck by himself. Their loyalty must have created enough good karma to ensure that today no one rucked alone, even if Yardsale succumbed to the fartsack. After some 10 minutes of good-natured chatter, we realized…
