Ten traversers-of-the-ballsack, gathered in the waning darkness for today’s RAMM. Gumbo arrived staring at his phone, likely studying the route. Saab appreciated the ball sack route which prompted many jokes on balls. Bone Thugs appropriately stated, “that escalated quickly”. The Route South on Commonwealth and around the Windsor Farms loop North on Malvern East on Grove Left on Nansemond (4s), Cleveland (5s), Sheppard (6s) West on Patterson Left on Westmoreland (4s), Bunting (5s), Lex/Albemarle (6s) Back on Grove Announcements Pickleball is starting up the first Monday in June at Batteau. Normal time and place. Breaking Bread signups available for this…

14 showed to run, walk, ruck. Route was posted the day prior…glanced at by a few, absorbed by none. Saab abides

An un-claimed Q-sheet brought a handful of guys to the land of Mary Munford and really no direction. Which brings up this question….do you have direction in your life right now? A vision? A goal? We should all have visions and goals of some sort…for us on this particular Friday morning we needed more direction and it came in this form. YHC told everyone to head north on Commonwealth and get to Monument…to run 22.5 minutes and to run back to the flag via a south on a street and Grove. Funny couple exchanges as welcome FNG Ridge (his real…

One rucker and the rest runners; off we went on our routes. All distances were covered.

A hearty crew of 11 showed up on Friday the 11th for a crisp morning trundle around the near west end. For the record…The Carrillon is finally open (that was news to me) and we got to run up the stairs for the first time since pre-COVID. Better late than never, huh? Also, for the record…the 4 mile Carrillon run looks like this… Out on Grove to Arthur Ashe. Right on Arthur Ashe (south) and that takes you to Idlewood. Right on Idlewood. Right on McCoy. Take McCoy to Cary St. Left on Cary St. Cary goes to Malvern. Right…

Age is relative, sometimes you’re feeling young and sometimes you’re feeling old, and sometimes you’re old and then TYA shows up and then you’re young again. The PAX was greeted by the local RAMM gears biker gang. The Bloods and Crips have red and blue respectively, while this particular gang had their hi-vis yellow. As the bikes circled ominously the pax stood their ground. when it came to routes, there was none, no one had picked up the Q, but YHC was feeling inspired and wanted to do the route of our grandfather’s as I believe Marv had put it.…

With a ratio of 3 to 1, a nonsensical nine chose to walk:run around Mary’s outer quarter. With age and injury, running may be less of a thing. Despite that, a route was offered to the few who were willing and able. https://onthegomap.com/s/fhk6n1ne All: Head West. Take Seneca to Tuckahoe loop, then Paxton to Ampthill loop…. 4’s return on Grove after completing aforementioned…5’s :  Repeat Seneca/Tuckahoe loop then return on Grove.  Reverso is suggested.6’s: Also repeat Paxton/Ampthill loop before returning on Grove. Note early cutover before hitting bottom of Paxton Saab abides…

Nine Mary nincompoops gathered for a potential duel that was eagerly anticipated. After YHC signed up in a blank cell last night and created a route, Saab also signed up in a blank cell last night and created a route. After some threatening text messages back and forth, it was established that it would be figured out in the AM. Under a haze of disappointment, it turns out there was no duel. Bodos had studied YHCs route and was planning on running that. Saab wanted hills and was planning on running his route. So it was left to YHC, as…

All good things must come to an end. We’ve had a pretty good record in recent weeks doing the VCU Basketball Jericho Run around the Siegel Center. Quick refresher–If at all possible, I like to run around the arenas that the Rams are playing on my gameday runs. For home games in Richmond, that is the Siegel Center, which is about 3.3 miles, give or take from the Flag. With the influx of Friday night games, we’ve done it a few times this year…and Sippy has joined me on a Saturday or two for an un-authorized run. We also did…
