Ump-teen runners/walkers/ruckers gathered in our favorite Tuesday morning spot for today’s route. To alleviate any anxiety amongst the PAX, YHC stated our intended route at 525. There was a shit-eating grin on Saab’s face for some reason. I can never tell if he is happy or sad when intervals aren’t called. Regardless, we launched at 530 with a reminder of today’s route. Mount Henrico. Some didn’t hear the first time it was called and thus were relieved that we weren’t doing intervals. Welcome Sippy Cup back and then off we went.
The Route
It’s been well documented throughout the years so I’ll summarize here.
Right, left, left, right, right, left, right/left, left, left, (ruckers return here), right, left (4s & 6s), left (6s), right, left. Return and come home at your appropriate points following these directions.
Right, left, right/right (6s), left, right, right, right/left, right, left, left, right, right, left.
Numbers, names, more numbers, more names, departures, announcements, more departures, more arrivals, YHC took us out.
Announcements
- Pickleball tourney this Saturday. See Hitch to register. There will be prizes.
- Ruckhenge with Q source on Wednesday’s at 0500 at Stony Point Einsteins.
Moleskin
We may start on time at F3 but Spider Run tends to end at various times depending on your pace/desires. No worries, any time you are slugging the miles with your buds, it’s all good.
Ample discussion this morning in my group consisted of slacking (not the good kind) college students, office space (lower case, not upper case), upcoming babies (not mine), random half marathon training (possibly mine), olympic highs and lows, followed by Garbage Plate finally remembering the name of his daughter’s y-princess tribe. How-how!!!
Great to have Sippy Cup back out in the gloom. Glad to hear he is on the up-and-up. We almost lost Faceplant when Sippy started describing his procedure. He’s used to parking lot paint, not blood.
Great to see all the faces out there today. Perfect running weather is on the horizon.
Splinter out.
