Mr. Holland is getting back into running shape after his shoulder surgery and being cleared to start running again. YHC starts off with the mumble chatter calling out Tim and G and my 2.0 asks, ‘what happened to our F3 names?’ he was correct and we then fell back into running form. For this run,…

YHC knew some ruckers would be in the middle of their workout when he rolled up to the Rutland house parking lot. Being early this am some pre-run stretching was in order. Speakeasy runs up to the lot, then Bulkhead shows up also running from home. It’s 5:30 and we are ready to roll.

YHC showed up with 2.0 to go for a run and met Speakeasy at the Rutland Clubhouse. Hash wanted to do an out and back run through Kings Charter for 5 miles and Speakeasy was up for the challenge.

Yardsale says the greatest things that become backblast titles. PeaceOpus

Seven men traversed Rutland, Knollwood, and Cool Spring by foot either with or without weight at various speeds. Runners covered roughly 4.7 miles. Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN YHC appreciated the PAX’s willingness to recycle a known route as opposed to following YHC’s blind lead.  Enjoyed mumblechatter with Phonics and Bulkhead while Marco and Speakeasy pushed slightly ahead.  Discussion involved real estate in Southwest Virginia, Highland Springs Lacrosse and Swim Teams, economics of travel soccer in the US, the GOAT Olympian, and whether or not Navy men actually know how to swim.  Thanks for the hospitality!
