10 Pax launched at various times, with various distances, and from multiple locations; but they all converged at the end. Routes varied, but here is one used by the 530 crowd. West on Grove, right on Libbie, right on Patterson, right on Malvern, right on Grove. aka the Zoolander route. YHC took us out. While everyone ran alone or in pairs, it was great to converge at the end to catch up and some levity (as always). YHC’s 2.0 enjoyed the run today and we hope to see him back out soon.

All pick up Hanover for the western return, jumping over to Grove at Thompson. Bodos took us out. Congratulations to Pigskin for a successful Fleed to Bleed. Well done!

Canterbury to Cary, cross Cary and head north on Malvern. Malvern north across Grove and Patterson, almost to Monument. Left on Wythe Ave. 4’s – Wythe to a left on Chantilly then left on Grove and back to the flag 5’s – Wythe to a left on Willow Lawn Drive, left on Patterson,…

LockJaw didn’t show up on this day (August 27th) either to give us a route. Can’t really remember the routes taken by the group but I think it was pretty much a freestyle. Splinter, Faceplant and YHC ran the Bodos inspired Windsor Farm run. And that’s all I have to say about that. Sorry, sort of for waiting so long to post. For you Big Data people I know that it’s annoying.

Every now and then there’s a reference that is simply too good not to mention on the BackBlast. Yes, Chevy Chase is known for much, much more than his role in the very pedestrian movie “Funny Farm”. But he made it during at time when he was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, coming off blockbusters like the Vacation franchises and Fletch. So those of us who are a certain age all saw “Funny Farm.” From what I can remember, I was very underwhelmed. Needless to say, it’s not one that I’m dying to show my 14yo (unlike Fletch,…
