    Although the weather(Sunny and 70) held this morning, a beautiful Christmas Eve, many a puddle were around the AO, YHC managed to find several to run and hop through.

    The Fugitive 11 made several of the PAX manage to wonder how anyone could do anything with just one arm, Loose Goose was having no issues, Apparently after the 10,000 November, I could suggest 5,000 per arm February.

    The singing for the 12 days of Christmas went extremely well, Wilson continued to add adjectives to the Big Old Root filled etc. Oak tree. Might need to change this song to 5.9 days of Christmas for Lug Nut.

    YHC’s back failed on the 10th day, Although I made to the 12th day, DK’s words of wisdom were heard in my head “don’t hurt yourself before Christmas!” Thanks to TYA for bringing it back to the SF.

    Lug Nut’s Truck pull yesterday may have been the beginning of the Back issue, Apparently, The Scream, Pele, and YHC cannot pull an F-150 like a foursome can. There was some discussion if an International Semi could be done for a truck pull, perhaps at a later Date, the Sheik may Q that one.

    YHC delivered a new Shovel Flag to the Pax, Several names are on the Shovel, TOGA, LG, TYA, Bleeder, Jville, DK , Conspiracy & Orville. The Lead group from RVA #MERRYCHRISTMAS!  DK is in possession of it.

    TYA needs the anti-fog from the race car to help clear his glasses to see the sapling that he ran over.  When TYA says he can’t see, he means it.
    Coffeerteria

    Since we were on Holiday, 7 of the Pax had a post-workout break at the River Rd Starbucks. Several conversations ensued, Combinations of Family gatherings, TYA’s Father-in-law finding a ditch on his way to Richmond from NOLA at 5:30 AM yesterday, The Jville’s shoulder injury, and his snowboarding experiences that seemed to be the root cause of the injury. Chum Bucket and Jville discussed their attendance of Bingo, the signs of gambling addiction are….? Is the SBA off this week?

    YHC is not sure how Santa plans on waking up before the 5:30, and making his rounds tonight. he should probably head back to Starbucks before hooking-up the reindeer, On Dasher, On Prancer, On Donner, On Grande Skim Latte…..

  • Crosswalk Sprints

    4 Men rose early to run the usual route

    THE THANG

    We ran it.

    Moleskin

    Abacus gave us some medical history and how his challenges have lead to some seriously competitive Half-Marathon and Full Marathon Times!

    The Scream discussed new and inventive ways of using test questions in his art classes at U of R that utilizes his F3 name.

    As the last runner, YHC,  The PAX ran back to me on Grove when they finished,  as We came to the CrossWalk on Westmorland,  The Pax was told to Sprint 100% to the Next Cross street. This was after 3+ miles for most to the PAX; TYA was told to try and keep up.

    YHC made it to Granite Ave along the usual route before the lead runners(aka the rest of the PAX) was coming back down Grove Ave, The knee is continuing to build strength and endurance, but still got long ways to go!

    Amazingly, the weather was Sunny and 70,

    Loose Goose will be happy to know that the Extra Blocks were still in place by the tennis courts.

    Next Workouts:

    Saturday, Dec 20 (#Gridiron): Earthworm & Slater
    Tuesday, Dec 23 (#NoToll): TYA & Lug Nut
    Wednesday – Christmas Eve: (#45 Minutes of Mary)Bleeder
    No Workout – Christmas Morning

  • Run to the Run

    Three Brave souls posted, the weather was sunny and 70

    THE THANG

    Run: Commonwealth Ave to left on Grove Ave to left E Locke Lane, over Cary Street Road to Pocahontas Ave, We all went down on Pocahontas, then left on Hillcrest to the bottom of the hill. then Left on Charmian Road, then up The Big HIll… Cut over to Dover, just to the Church, Turned left toward Windsor way, then back across Cary Street Road to MM.

    COT

    About a 3 mile run.
    Moleskin

    Neuman informed TYA and YHC about his exploits in the fine city of Detroit; unfortunately it sounded like the weather in Michigan was not as nice as Virginia, Neuman failed to bring a coat with him; It was not Sunny and 70 there.

    TYA made the decision to run to the run in the gloom, YHC was kind enough to not make him run home. I would point out the TYA lives near the bottom of the hill we ran, He did that Hill Twice! TClaps to that accomplishment!

    TYA did manage to navigate the run without stepping into any piles of Dog Droppings,  It may have been a UMASS vs Harvard(I think that’s where OBT went to school) Thanksgiving Social Repellant tactic; however, with Neuman’s Harvard Law degree the Windsor Farms dogs were most likely afraid of legal retaliation.

    There were no signs of unintentional acceleration from any parties this morning!  YHC could have used some.

    YHC did plan the route using his  Civil War knowledge from his Virginia Military Institute degree.  The Trenches can only provide for small hill workouts,  we wanted something bigger.  Col J. T. L. Preston would have been proud.

    YHC used this run as a warm-up for the ChumpCar Chumpionship this weekend at VIR,  should your holiday plans find yourself halfway between South Boston and Danville,  come by and see us,  Lug Nut, The Sheikh, Ricky Bobby and YHC will be driving the wheels off a couple of really old & really crappy cars,  that happen to be great Race Cars.

    Upcoming we have regular workouts on Saturday 0700 Gridiron, and Tuesday 0530 at Huguenot Park. And…

    CSAUP** EVENT: 1st Annual F3 Richmond Holiday Brew Thru — 1800 on 12/17 at Strangeways Brewery. 3.4 mile run with stops 4 breweries along the way (beer consumption at any point is optional).
