  • Blame Splinter

    Splinter tooketh away a duplicate BB, YHC is adding a missing one back.

  • Not the Tip, the Whole Thing

    Tired of the standard bro-code route, YHC offered up something that’s the same, but different. Here’s where it went:

    The Route

    • R on Pump
    • R on Ridgefield
    • L on Cox all the way to the end and back
    • L on Ridgefield
    • R on Falconbridge
    • R on Raintree
    • L on Ridgefield
    • L on Pump
    • Back to SF

    Lulu and her team of bodyguards set off in search of some new miles.  Nothing new really, but the PAX did go all the way from the base of Cox to the tip and back for some excitement.  The route resembles a bug’s head and antennae on a map.  Mileages varied between 4.8 and 5.4 depending on the tracker.  You definitely should have been there.

  • Heat Is A Luxury

    CSAUP hangovers, warm fartsacks, misty weather, and the threat of a punishing EF Q are some of the excuses six men overcame this morning at Hoedown.  Here’s what transpired:

    Mosey to the Third Church back parking lot

    COP

    • Don Quixotes
    • Ukranian Soldiers
    • Helicopters
    • Copperhead Squats
    • Dead Man Hang
    • Merkins
    • Mountain Climbers

    Mosey to Silverspring Dr, left on Carriage Ln, right on Spottswood Rd

    Greta Thunberg’s Nightmare

    • Car = 5 Merkins
    • Truck = 10 Squats
    • Van = 10 2ct Flutter Kicks
    • SUV/Crossover = 1 Burpee

    Stop on Spottswood at top of hill

    DORA

    • P1 – 100 HRMs, 200 Reverse Crunches, 300 Monkey Humpers
    • P2 – Run to bottom of hill and back

    Finish GT’s Nightmare and mosey across Forest to Lindsay and up the Horseshoe

    Scissor Sisters (best demonstrated)

    The PAX was smallish, but mighty.  Bodos tried to do his part to save the world by driving his more environmentally friendly van or simply because it had heat, but our trek behind Third Church proved our neighbors care far less.  There were more automobiles, primarily of the gas guzzling variety, than there were houses and likely people.  Alicia Silverstone and Stiffler’s mom made their way into the mumblechatter.  Bodos enjoyed a good game of Human Frogger and Handshake, well Handshake said Handshake things.

    Frozen Triangle returns January 2030

  • Jortfast Club

    One man’s man proudly ran in Jorts waiving Old Glory and four others tagged along. 3+ miles round trip.

  • Spreading First Watch Joy

    Two 1.0s and a 2.0 delivered pulled pork with buns, Sweet Baby Ray’s, mac and cheese, brownie bites, sweet tea, lemonade, and thoughts of cole slaw. Nine folks plus staff were very appreciative. No carols were sung, but YHC would like to think a little joy was spread. None of the M’s cookware was lost or damaged in the process. Oversharing likely commenced.

  • Even Oyster Took the Day Off?

    One nut had the hap, hap, happiest Christmas morning ruck since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny Effing Kaye. Three plus cold miles round trip near Midlothian and Salisbury with a 30lb sack.

  • Closing Down GM

    Nine men were undeterred by the threating wind and rain.  Here’s where they went, with the exception of Gypsy:

    The Route

    • Cross Pump to Old Prescott
    • R on Glen Eagles
    • R on John Rolfe
    • R on Pump
    • L on Thistledown and continue on Brookmont
    • R on Cox
    • R on Ridgefield
    • L on Raintree
    • R on Falconbridge
    • R on Pump back to the Flag

    This route seems remarkably more difficult in this direction.  It had previously been run in the reverse.  Gypsy reverso’d for the six but there was no six, so he made his own route.  It was roughly the same, only harder.  Coffeteria was solid with discussion topics ranging from nuclear engineering, proper shoe tying technique, deer hunting, the war in Ukraine, gray haired m*lfs, to Fudd’s 2 chocolate donut balls he got in a DD paper scrotum.  Gomer is always closing, even General Motors.

  • Maggie Walker Booster Club

    After an 0500 track team dropoff, 2 track dads and 2 others ran and ran then ran, and ran again. Gifts were exchanged.

  • National Lampoons European Currahee Route

    With no official Q, YHC stepped up with a simple-ish route. Here’s where it went:

    The Route

    • Head out Maremont behind Godwin
    • R on Raintree
    • L into Raintree Swim and Racquet Club
    • Loop around the lake
    • Continue on Raintree until the 23rd minute
    • Reverso
    • Back to SF

    Gomer requested that the route be given a name.  Somehow half the Pax missed the exit path off the Lake loop and went around twice.  Hey look kids, there’s Big Ben, Parliament!

    Apparently, AP Hill has been dug up.  The process has caused an all-out cluster-F around Holton Elementary.  Traffic flow is a disaster.  Jville and crew pushed through.
