We hit some hills – including owl strike corridor – new roads, a little bit of trail, and the scenic campus tour. Fun was had by all! Hitchhiker took us out. Announcements – Pickle ball tournament coming up. See slack for details and “how-to” videos.
17 eager beavers in need of a bush trimming posted for a Fudd inspired route. Alas, Hitch was not there to manage the landscaping but we ventured out into Westham anyway. A fav route for many returned after a hiatus of several years. #Brocode style made it a nice change from typical split routes…..several 4 milers commented that they worked harder because they knew the 5 and 6 milers were running the whole time, looping back to the Six. After COT there was a minor scuffle between Anthrax’s dog (sorry can’t remember his name) and someone else’s puppy (not sure…
Eighteen unsuspecting spiderlings, including one world traveler, met in our usual spot to wait for directions. Directions were brief because we would be staying together today. It went something like this: The Route 4s: Through the batcave and over to Westham Station 5/6s: Follow the main road to River then over to westham station. 6s run around starbucks. Meet at the bottom of Panorama for 3x intervals, shifting up to the first tree after the first interval. Slow mosey over to one of the H streets for the next round. 3x up Highland then 1x up Old Bridge. Mosey back…
YHC doesn’t know who was there, but this was the route. Lockjaw was the Q. If you can dig up your stats from 11/5/2019, let me know and I’ll add your name. I’m guessing Saab ran to vote, but who knows?
Happy Birthday Wedding Singer??? Wedding Singer + 21 of his 0530 friends met in the sunken parking lot that we call Spider Run launch. We ran the following, then heard Singer subtly say his name + age. No one called him out on it, until now. The Routes 4s: https://onthegomap.com/s/r5ad1ckj5s: https://onthegomap.com/s/vf9gb3md6s: https://onthegomap.com/s/pk2unnhj Numbers, names, announcements, YHC took us out. Moleskin The PAX hit some different roads today, or at least made different turns to get to similar roads. Due to the need to test one’s will by running past a scary house, these extreme reaches of the AO are lightly traveled. That resulted…
Fifteen runners and walkers rolled in just in time for the route instructions. It seems this route closely resembled one Gomer Pyle did last week. We went over the river and through the woods and back. Great mumble chatter with the pack YHC was running with. Always a good time! YHC took us out.
8 fearless men met on a nearly perfect running morning for a little out and back. According to the SOJ Barred Owl that loudly expressed his consternation on missing Saab this morning. This was the route: out 23 min back 22 min. Bleeder rucked the fun part of this route. Faceplant took us out. Prayers for Splinters Aunt. Announcements Monument 10k 4/22 Bluegrass Festival James River High School 4/22 Gomer 6 year aniversary at DogPile 4/22 Carytown 10k in Carytown, 4/30. Its a 10k run that starts and ends in Carytown. CSAUP 5/6 at Currahee. Ruck, Bootcamp, Run NMS -…
15 runners -or at least we started with 15 runners – embraced the pollen and cooler temps for some miles. Off we went around the lake, over the trail and ascending University Dr. A quick turn on the parkway and an immediate exit on Lakewood takes us to Ziontown. We then connected with University again to Gaymont and survey the First Watch AO. All was well. 4s head back on Westham to Glen to College to the trail/lake combo. 5s/6s drop down to Westham Station and the bat cave with 6s taking a detour down and up Ross. Bodos took…
To celebrate TYA’s double respect the PAX ran his favorite route, Grooooooove. During the COT, our honored leader talked about being grateful for many things and prayed to be a better man, father, friend, etc. Notably absent, a better and more reliable backblast writer.
