Four southside regulars posted for a quick jaunt down Robious. Negative splits – out 23 minutes and back 22. Running west along the new(ish) walking path on Robious, across the bridge and returning the same way you came. Great job pax. This particular path is sneaky as it’s downhill out and uphill back. YHC quickly realized upon crossing the first bridge and the end of the walkway that Robious towards 288 is no bueno to run on. Props to OC for making it to 288 and back. Next time some additional steps will be added to keep the Robious portion…
Here is how it went down today. Met at clubhouse 5:30am! Four runners & Annie took off to grab desired mileage. Two took off to complete the Murph. Honeymoon took us out. New Market has been very diligent in practicing socal distancing during the Corona Virus era. We might even have enough PAX to create a new AO? YHC has not Q’d in a LONG time and frankly I do miss it, but what I miss even more is the large groups of exceptional men I get to interact with each workout. I even though now that I have been…
10 PAX (and 1 4-legged mile-slayer (Annie)) posted to log some miles and kickoff this unusual work week in the most normal way we know how – River Run. YHC was thrilled to see 9 other PAX to share some miles and fellowship with – and I almost lost them during the route instructions. YHC mashed up a couple traditional routes (the OG Tarrington Route, the Powderham loop and the Brigstock Out and Back) to make a new big loop that touched all 3 areas. Apologies for several turns, gents. It went like this: Left out of BWES toward the…
A long weekend away and YHC was ready to get back in the swing of things. Not being able to decide between doing hills or speed work today, I decided we could do both and make everyone happy. The PAX was excited to hear the plan and took off as a group of 10, leaving Hermie on his own to hide in his burrow at the bottom of Twin Team. We stayed as a pack into Tarrington and went up and down some hills with varying effort, lengths of time, pickups, and hills. Note to the PAX don’t let Marmaduke…
8 SOJers and Annie welcomed YHC and Sally for a run on the trails. With the Q sheet open last night, and Gumbo’s solo run last week, YHC thought Sally might be the only company this morning. A strong showing by the PAX was a welcome surprise. Tclaps for Marmaduke, Honeymoon, and Annie who also posted to OTB yesterday. We ran down toward the river and took some loops on the trails. Rosie was a capable tour guide. The entire PAX was in sight throughout most of the run thanks to headlamps and no leaves on the trees. Nancy Lopez…
It was a single serving of Gumbo at RiverRun this morning. A beautiful morning for a run. YHC avoided as many hills as possible and logged 5 miles – all while thinking “did I miss a memo about a President’s Day convergence??” See you fellas at No Toll tomorrow…I hope. No More Gumbo for Me
8 PAX and 3 dogs started their work-week off with some miles through Tarrington, up the glorious Ashwell hill and through the BUSH and down TwinTeam. It was another glorious morning for a run. Rosie was possessed this morning and left the pack before the end of the first mile. He took and extended detour into Powderham and then caught up to YHC, Honeymoon and P.O.G. for the finish down Twin Team and around the high school. Way to work, Rosie. Honeymoon (and Annie), P.O.G. and YHC had a strong pace going, including up the long hill – not the…
5 River Run faithful (and Annie) showed up for the promised trip to DK’s house – 4 made it; 1 took a wrong turn. Twin Team provided the gut-punch wake-up call, along with the brisk wind, but once we reached the summit, Rosie and Annie controlled the pace and Honeymoon and YHC didn’t know who was pushing who or why we were trying to keep up. After arriving at DK’s house, bday donuts were calling Rosie, so he found yet another gear and went supersonic…much to Annie’s dismay. She was stuck with our dead weight – and added one as…
Six thoroughbreds gathered in the gloom at Bettie Weaver ES for an extended mosey – here’s how it went: Right on Robious, left on Riverdowns South and curse the hills that YHC forgot were back here. Loop around Royal Crest and wonder where the downhill parts start. Pass Gumbo’s yurt and wave to the sherpas and yetis. Finally descend to the Robious flatlands. 4s right on Robious and back to the flag by way of the access road by the JRHS football field. 5s/6s noodle around Riverdowns North and do whatever it is that 5s/6s do, then back to the…
