17 Rolled in for a Spring Time Run/Bike in Winter Today we did the reverse route of the February 4 CCV/UR route. Continuing the haiku theme: This time in reverse Down and back up in darkness Found a new classic Marv took us out.
17 showed on the 17th day of February in 2017 The Thang Follow the Q down the road a mile to Thomas Jefferson High School. (YHC Note: this is the only themed tie into President’s Day). Line up fastest to least swift. Partner up with the fastest taking the slowest and so forth. Partner 1 runs the track while Partner 2 performs various arm, chest, and ab exercises. Swap and Partner 2 runs. Full out sprints of 400, 800, 800, and 400. Quick ring of fire. Run on back to Mary. Splinter took us out. NMS YHC likes to mix…
9 showed today for another Lockjaw Friday run. No 4 milers today. 5s and 6s headed West on Grove and rambled the neighborhoods around CCV and into UR. A nice hill workout on the way home. 6s did a loop around the lake. This may be a new classic for the portfolio based on mumble chatter. Toga took us out.
17 strong showed up for some running and biking through our fine city’s streets. There was a chill in the air. If only there was an app to predict the weather…. The routes – Carillon routes backwards (Nollirac) in 4, 5, and 6 mile distances. YHC A Pax favorite in a forward route, this reverse routing satisfied all. 6 milers found the need to commit to 6 early on which was a new dynamic. There was academic debate among the Pax to determine which route was hillier. Personally, I think the reverse route was hillier. One thing for certain, the reverse…
11 runners and 2 bikers came out for another installment of Friday’s RAMM Number off by 1s and 2s and form two columns as we mosey as a group into Windsor Farms. Upon entering the greens, partner up and perform the following: 4 partner burpees (each) run 8 Boo-Yah Merkins run Elbow Plank The Pax converges and goes deeper into Windsor Farms. When we got to the Civil War earthworks, we stormed up and over into the trench, performed 5 burpees, and bear crawl/crawl bear out the other side of the trench. A nice Mosey down Sulgrave to Queen Charlotte…

Fifteen strong showed up for spring time in January. Fourteen by foot and one on two wheels. Commonwealth to Cary and head East. Take a left on Hamilton and take to Westwood. 4 and 5 milers take a left on Westwood coming back on Malvern to Grove with 5 milers taking a victory lap around the school block when they get back. 6+ milers take a right on Westwood to the Boulevard and back on Grove. Marv took us out today offering a special prayer for the treasonous Aaron Burr. NMS YHC has been reading Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton…
14 men showed up for an early run this morning. Here is what shook out: Route: Carillon route for 5 and 6 milers. For the 4 milers, same out, but come back on Sheppard to Cary after passing the tennis courts at Byrd Park. NMS: YHC was thinking Carillon route, everybody knows that route, right? Well, turns out Back Bay and Copernicus (who is usually running with the 6 mile guys) did not know the exact route to get back across the Powhite and got a little turned around over in Windsor Farms. YHC was running with Saab this morning,…
10 runners and 3 gear heads emerged from the fartsack this morning for a morning of exercise. Drizzling and cool to start out, perfect weather for outdoor frolicking. The Thang 4 milers, right on Grove, left on Malvern, left on Patterson, left on Libbie, left on Grove, back to the flag. 5 milers, right on Grove, left on Malvern, left on Patterson, left on St. Christophers, left on 3 chopt, left on grove, back to the shovel flag. 6 milers, right on Grove, left on Nansemond, left on Patterson, left on St. Christophers, left on 3 chopt, left on grove,…
13 Pax showed up to cover miles either by foot or wheels. For the runners, it was the Carillon routes of the 4, 5, and 6 variety. Perfect weather, though with some higher humidity leaving us drenched. An eager Wilson took us out. NMS When YHC arrived on the AO, there was speculation amongst the Pax that there would be some sort of game today. Perhaps a travel sized version of Sharks and Minnows in the parking lot. YHC notified the group that he had hidden 200 glow sticks in Windsor Farms and we were having a scavenger hunt. Total…
