A PAX eclipsing 40 ditched all common sense for about 18 hours to receive a plentiful helping of each of the three Fs.  This was the F3RVA Century Classic. YHC has conversed with a number of individual PAX members about their experience, taking notes during the event and thinking about how to transcribe all of these memories into a backblast.  There is no way YHC could do the stories justice by attempting to capture them for the collective PAX.  Then, after chatting with Lockjaw and the (sober) Ronnie, it became clear.  Treat the backblast as a living backblast.  YHC will…

7 stallions converged today to log some miles in a manner that is both 2.0 friendly and conducive to a great taper. Multiple Route Options: Run the hill loop Oak to Grove and do the Albemarle/Lexington loop and back for 1.5 Oak to Harlan, cross Patterson to Park, right on Park and a left on Spokane to Wythe,  Wythe to Westmoreland to Grove and back on Oak for just over 3 miles YHC took us out. It was great spring weather for a run.  There was reminiscing of the oppressive summer heat and some of our wildlife encounters running that…

Eight runners.  Is that a new Roller Coaster record?  And eight runners in a Pax never before to have converged in one workout at that.  Well done! The Route – Starting from River Road Shopping Center we did a modified Devil’s Pitchfork route with some nice hills.  Kubota brought his 2.0 who seemed to enjoy himself quite a bit and got named after a smaller riding lawn mower to accompany his father, the tractor.  Da Vinci paced us with his mountain bike ensuring now one fell behind. The weather was awesome today, we talked of CSAUP almost upon us.  It…

1 Lonely warrior set out on a Wednesday late afternoon to show Hillcrest the middle finger ROUTE  Down W Hillcrest Ave, across Charmian Rd, up/down Hillwood Rd (aka The Middle Finger), across Charmian Rd, Up E Hillcrest Ave for a one mile loop. YHC completed called it a short day and completed 4 loops. MOLESKIN Swirly had texted YHC early in the day noted that both him and TYA had family obligations and ask YHC to take the Q.  YHC decided to do the small loop but with the twist. Not sure if this route has been named yet but…

3 studs made their way through winter storm Toby to enjoy a late afternoon run ROUTE  YHC arrived early to get in 2 small loops for 1.5 miles then the rest of the PAX joined in for 3 big loops for 5 miles and a total of 6.5 for YHC TYA is looking great post 100 miler and congrats to him for almost reaching 1,700 miles in his rolling year! Days are getting longer and hopefully the weather will be getting warmer. No matter the race you are training for, come on out and join us fellas!! SPIT ON THAT!!

3 studs posted on a Wednesday afternoon for some real hills. The Thang: 3 long loops, one backwards and two forwards.  You pick the order.  5 miles in total. NMM Great to have Spit out there today for his first Hillcrest run.  He enjoyed the loops and mentioned that he now knew why the AO was called Roller Coaster.  On this run you are never running flat..only up or down. It was great to be back on Hillcrest today.  We have been spending the past couple months on the trails, but the hillier terrain of the fake Hillcrest is great…
