On the slim chance I missed someone’s name (I know I did), please let me know
A dozen showed at varying times to run a variety of routes – including Mt Henrico and the one shown below.
Bone Thugs completed his first run that involved following the prescribed route. Whitesnake studied hard and by all accounts did not get lost.
Never too late to train for the Bear Creek 10M this weekend. Best wishes to the ~14 gents who will be running and consuming hot chicken soup.

A naughty 9 descended upon Mary to experience a tale of two Geriatric Q’s. This is what transpired – more or less…
Q1:
Q2:
NMS:
Good to have TYA healthy and back in the gloom. His excitement was reflected in his persistent pursuit of more Burpees. Hitchhiker will be skiing for the first time today…YHC will be hoping it ends well and not in crutches…
To paraphrase what TYA expressed in the COT, take stock in what you have – and not in what you don’t have..

In the words of the Dalai Lama (beyond the Back Blast title), there are 2 days in the year when nothing gets done…Yesterday and Tomorrow…
Make the best of today fellas!

An elite 8 descended upon UR to shake off the early morning chill…
Route:
All – Ridgeway to Iris. Cross Three Chopt then head east on Groooooove.
4’s – Turn around and return once reaching Oak St
5’s/6’s – Take right on Oak, cross Cary to Hillcrest. Head down W. Hillcrest
5’s (there weren’t any…)- Upon reaching bottom of Hillcrest, turn around and return.
6’s – Turn onto E. Hillcrest and take immediate right to climb Charmian (steepest short-hill in RVA?). When hill crests, take a left on access road then turn left on Pocahontas, jump back onto E. Hillcrest, climb hill and return on the same route
Announcements: HDHH at Final Gravity, Bone Thugs planning a subterranean run in the fall, and Christmas falls on a Sunday this year (see Hitchhiker for details, and Wedding Singer for supporting commentary)

Many miles and many smiles as an elite 8 covered the north and south banks of the James…Anthrax was donned in his favorite golf shirt, and Shakedown was a running-billboard for all things BMX.

4 knuckleheads looked at each other and questioned why they were here….YHC did his best to keep balls-and-back dry as possible as we ventured out into the cold and wet areas surrounding Mary. Copious amount of running coupled with various exercises along the way.
Moleskin: YHC learned some new terms today including “White Knuckling” and “Seagulling”….quite possibly, one has to precede the other….
Announcements were quick as the pax was ready to jump in their cars, and showed no-patience for the Q’s eloquent and awe-inspiring close.
