3 runners and 2 ruckers explored the less swampy than usual twilight from the Rutland Clubhouse. Runners continued YHC’s exploration of the roads across Chamberlayne after discovering a cut through. This route seemed a bit easier to follow and had no off-leash dogs, making it a clear winner. Runners covered about 4.25 miles. Ruckers did not say how far they rucked. All of the old folks were too busy talking about cleaning out internal plumbing and dispensing medical advice. Announcements included the CSAUP running at Twin Team Saturday, the pickleball tournament, and the century bike ride. In addition, there is…

YHC posted at 5am this morning and was able to get in over 4.2 miles. It was a great time to reflect and appreciate cool weather returning from San Antonio, TX where the high temperatures were over 100 all week. Have a great day and I will see you in the gloom, Cheers…CB!

On the day ESPN The Ocho started, 8 runners came out to Rutland CH for Thursday Runday Route was a traditional loop through the Craney Island Neighborhood for 4 miles or add the Bojangles loop to get 4.5+ miles and Mustang put in some OT and got 5+ miles Great to have large numbers again for a run and some of our newest PAX members out twice this week SPIT ON THAT!!

YHC and 3 respected Pax members ran or rucked for about 4.5 miles through a soupy Mechanicsville morning. The runners ran across 301 and explored a couple new neighborhoods. They were nice, minus one off-leash dog. Opus took us out with prayers for a student at his school with cancer.

Two DaVille Runners and YHC who decided to pace walk today made to it to Tomato Run this morning. YHC set a traditional route through Rutland, Knollwood, and Cool Spring West. The guys decided to add some trail run and got in close to 5 miles YHC who was sick earlier in the week didn’t feel up for a run so instead did a walk but keep under 15 min mile pace and got in 3 miles nice morning for both choices.

3 runners and 2 ruckers got showed up for the second ruck and first run day of the week Runners Route – Head over to the trail in Cool Spring Forest West then turning around and come back. We did and run/walk to get in 3.75 miles Ruckers did their thing Title to the backblast said it all. Typical suburban Dad mumble chatter this morning SPIT ON THAT!!

YHC has been waiting for the chance for a hot potato run. Mr. Holland was good company as we navigated through the soupy air to the back of the new construction in Giles, returning via Craney Island Estates and Atlee Station,for between 4 and 4.5 miles. Two runners at the same pace made the hot potato route pretty simple to navigate, and we made it back to the start with a few minutes to spare. Corned Beef and Yardsale were organized and ready to go on their pre-planned ruck route, which means they made wrong turns, got maybe a bit…

4 runners as well as 3 Ruckers came out for a unknown run ROUTE started with a little jog then stopping at the Atlee Library for sprints. Starting jogging again then other sprint stop at the Kroger parking lot. We then made 4 more stops at the Popeyes parking lot, Walgreens, cul-de-sacs off Rutlandshire and finished one last one at the clubhouse getting in still just under 4 miles Ruckers did their think Nice 2nd F in between sprints SPIT ON THAT!!

While two Davillians rucked, two others welcomed an SOJ visitor for his next summer tour date. Either the weather or ticket prices rivalling the Eras Tour may have kept more from attending. With out IT bands strung tight and all sound checks completed, we strummed our way through about 4.5 miles. Some of the hits heard by the ladies seen running with Marco Polo were about lotteries, bank examining, and boot camp induced aches and pains. After numbers and names, announcements included encouraging participation at the Bridge, Spit’s 400th Q tomorrow at the Creek, and YHC’s visiting Q at RAMM…
