Out-and-back on Grove toward VCU. 23 minutes out, 22 minutes back. Simple directions, even I could remember them. But you have to do a negative split so keep the pace in mind.
The Groups:
- The Sixes (Splinter, Marv, Sippy Cup, Garbage Plate): Made it all the way to Belvedere. Probably the furthest any RAMM has ever gone. At this rate, they’ll be in New Kent by the holidays.
- The Fives (YHC, Splinter, Chippendale, Saab): Nearly hit VCU. Topics of conversation included traffic signals, diverging diamonds, roundabouts, and the delicate social differences between “butt dial” and “booty call.” Productive, as always.
- The Fours (Gumbo and Hitchhiker): Kept it steady. Gumbo gets extra credit since he ran from home.
Observations:
- The Sixes returned huffing, puffing, and looking like they’d just wrestled a bear, but they liked it.
- Saab’s favorite shirt remains in France. RIP. His Garmin keeps it company.
Announcements:
- F3RVA’s 11-year anniversary is around the corner. Check Slack for details you’ll immediately forget.
Prayers:
- For Marv’s dad, as he recovers from a hospital stay.
- For TYA, recovering from an infection caused by a literal splinter (not Splinter the human).
YHC took us out.
