It’s GameDay for the VCU Rams as they take on the Spiders in a late season Richmond Area Honda Dealers Capital City Classic. Tip off is at 7pm. The line is the Rams -14.5. The Rams won the last game by 41, but -14.5 is pretty thick for a road team.
That said…
Thirteen fellas showed up YHC to Jericho run around the Robins Center and then trundle around the south portion of the Westham neighborhood.
The Thang…
The Jericho run is based off the Old Testament story of some group of Old Testament people (Israelites?) marching to the city of Jericho and then parading around the walls seven times. Trumpets are blown, walls fall down, the guys take the city. I try to replicate that as much as I can when I travel on the road…having run around arenas in Dayton, Charleston, New Mexico…plus other fun runs up and down the strip in Vegas, around “the country’s favorite city park” in St. Louis and downtown Annapolis.
We headed clockwise around the lake…then up a “kinda burner hill” (1-800) to the Robins Center. Run around the Robins Center….counterclockwise the first time, then turn around and clockwise.
Take the parking lot to the baseball field and out of campus to College Dr. College to Lakewood, Lakewood to Wood…then Baldwin…but not left on Baldwin, but RIGHT on Baldwin. That turns into Hampshire…Hampshire bends it’s way to Ridge Top.
4s–Realized that Wheeler is super tough to see off of Ridge Top. So the 4s ended up heading with the 5s and 6s to Chandler…they went Chandler to Gardiner, to Wheeler to the bridge. Over the bridge to Boatwright, up Boatwright and back down to College Dr to UR Drive to the flag.
5s–all the way up Chandler and back down. Ridge Top to Devon to Waveny to Wood…that will then get you back to the flag via Lakewood and the parking lot.
6s–A bit of a mess. YHC had to make sure the 4s and 5s knew where they were going and lost contact with the 6s. 6s ended up going Ridge Top to Patterson, back down, right on whatever street that was that the former F3 guy got caught with all the bombs and weapons. Back down Westham, right on Woodberry, left on Sweet Briar, left on Rock Creek, left on Baldwin. Baldwin back to the flag the normal way.
Thanks for the Jericho help, boys. Go Rams.
