Early in the gloom, the few runners we had just stood around looking at each other, so I asked the question: “Who’s Q?” More stares. Somebody threw out Reverse Carrilon, so that’s the route. Bleeder explained the route, which sounded good to me. Bodos said he knew the 5 miler, but Swiper did not have confidence. He came back to me twice with where do we turn questions, so looks like Im running with the 5’s! So this begs the question, how do you go from not wanting to get up, to running slow and comfortable, to running faster and…

39 studs posted for a morning of accomplishment and celebration. Most on foot, some on wheels. Running route was the old school route 10k, nice and simple. Launch times ranged from 5:00 am to 5:30 am. NMM: A few random thoughts while running this morning. 1. I was inspired by how many PAX came out to support and to run with BoneThugs. His entourage was more like 20 folks running along side and with him. With 20 others joining at the end for an inspirational finish. Pretty awesome to watch. 2. Some of you are going to hate this, but….what…

Ok boys, it is time for the BoneThugs 10k. It is this Friday. Here is the plan: The Route – Old School. Leave Mary Munford parking lot and go east on Grove. Follow grove to Arthur Ashe Boulevard (The Boulevard) and turn around and head west. Take Grove til it ends at Three Chopt. Turn around and head back to Mary Munford. This Timing.

Head north on Commonwealth to Patterson and head west. Turn north on Libbie and east on Monument. 4s turn on Commonwealth, 5s turn on Hamilton, and 6s on Cleveland with all coming back on Grove.

Thanks go out to Circle K who provided a basket of tomatoes and other garden produce for the pax to enjoy. Lockjaw

18 strong arrived and departed RAMM for their desired morning exercise. Long & Short run – all head East on Grove. Four milers cut thru Carytown past City Stadium and back thru to Windsor Farms MM. Five milers all the way down Boulevard to the Carillon and back thru Windsor Farms. Not sure where six milers got the extra mile. Cyclists – everywhere for 45 minutes. Many variations occurred today as we all looked at the group at the start to see who’d take charge. The group consensus was the Reverse Carillon – or Reverse Reverse Carillon. Or maybe the…

Sorry PAX, I typed up and published the normal backblast but upon review later on all I see if the a black and white American Flag and no backblast.

Runners, bikers and one fishing mother F’er commenced for the exercise of their choice. 4, 5 and 6 mile Running route – reverse Carillon. F3 RVA’s prodigal son returns. Good to see you back Fudd, enjoy the vacation. We’ll throw you another going away party upon your return. Better yet, let’s get Toga back and have Fudd throw him another going away party. It’s the gift that keeps on giving Clark. Way to work men. With no Q on the sheet, reverse Carillon it is. -Singer
