Mary Munford Elementary
The title was in reference to a comeback TYA had been working on for the interim week and homage to the classic Seinfeld episode. West on Grove and a right on Bunting to Chantilly. Take a right on Monument and find your southbound cutover based on distance. 4s at Cleveland, 5s at Robinson, and 6s at Allen. Take to Grove and come on home. YHC took us out.
Marv collected the names and YHC can’t remember very well. We had people at 530 looking for Lockjaw to no avail. Marv stepped up and called: The Route North on Commonwealth to Monument Right on Monument U-turn somewhere along the way depending on distance (6s went to old stuart circle) Left on Boulevard Right on Cary Smell Trash Don’t smell Bread Meander back to Mary Marv took us out. Moleskin No Bread. Massive disappointment. We all blamed Marv. Ping me on Slack and I’ll add your name.
11 polar bears came to walk, run, or pedal through some freezing weather. We kept the conversation brief at the end to return to the wrap cars, but the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror was definitely referenced. Shakedown took us out.
Walk, Bike, Run…it didn’t matter…. Running Route: Head east on Grove, south on Greenway. Cross Cary to Ampthill. Take Ampthill to bottom where it turns to Paxton. Take Paxton up to Cary. Turn around and head back south on Paxton to Ampthill to Cary. 4’s return on on Greenway 5’s and 6’s repeat Ampthill and Paxton. 5’s exit on the top of Paxton and take Tuckahoe back to Grove then return to Mary. 6’s head south on Paxton (again) then up Ampthill. Return on Greenway. Title reflects what benefit a little (lot of) elevation will do on a run… Saab…
Fifteen runners undaunted by winged nocturnal predators embarked on the streets of the Fan. East on Grove to Antrim to Monument and continue heading east. 4s turn at the Blvd, 5s at Strawberry, and 6s at Stuart Circle. Everyone comes back on Monument and turns on Layfayette, to Grove. Pretty straightforward. Faceplant did not get lost.
Seven Stallions hit the streets for ideal running weather. Down Grove, Nansemond, Stuart and east bound. Various turn arounds with Hanover as the return route. Faceplant was stopping traffic being the cougar bait he is. Talk of owl strikes and antics to avoid injury. YHC took us out.
Twelve animals on 2 legs and one animal on 4 legs hit the gridded streets around Mary this AM for today’s iteration of RAMM. 5:00 runners launched at, well, 5:00, while the rest launched at 5:30.

An unknown number of participants started at various times and arrived at various times, all of which contributed to today’s RAMM (Gears). After Hitch scurried home to change into a long sleeve shirt, there were 4 of us for the proper 0530 launch time. Routes were declared as follows: Routes East on Grove4s left on Hamilton, 6s left on BoulevardLeft on PattersonRight on CommonwealthRight on MonumentLeft on HamiltonLeft on Broad (for 1 block) then continue west on Fitz-HughLeft on CommonwealthBTTVSF Announcements Big day in F3RVA tomorrow8Y Anniversary Convergence @0730 @GridironTYA has the bridge, perhaps solo… depends on someone’s wifeSit &…
Hitting the primary roads of the Fan, a merry group of 9 hit Grove, Hanover, and Floyd for miles today. 4s and 6s dominated the day with the majority of the usuals at the BRR. Good Luck Guys! Bone Thugs took us out.
