  • Road Trip

    An all-star cast of characters emerged from early morning gloom. A couple of yogi’s, a few reading in their trucks, and the Fuddster coming in hot.

    Off we went to the small park for some warm ups and yoga taking the rest of the warm up down Westham.

    We did the Westham challenge down Club Vista: Large SUVs = 10 HTH; European Cars = 3 Burpees. All was working out well until we stumbled upon a cluster of Audis.

    By way of avoiding a newly placed fence, we made our way to the practice fields for Triple Check 1. Partner 1 bear craws out to a set location and the other do do plerkins – three time through for everyone.

    We did a second set of Triple Checks with lunges, monkey bumpers, and elbow planks.

    Some 4 corners got us moving with 10 WWIIs, 20 Carolina Dry Docks, 30 4-count flutter kicks, and 40 LBCs.

    The mosey back to the flag was orchestrated with a Lindsay along the way ala box cutters and squats.

    YHC took us out.

    Coffee was fine as always with more revelations.

  • Perpetual Improvement

    Eight runners and an unknown number of bikers got an early start to a hot day. East bound and down is how we went.

    Phonics took us out.

    Announcement: Next Friday (7/12), we will have the annual amateur RAMM gears. Dust off those banana seats, add the tassels to the handlebars, and get your baseball cards in the spokes! All types of bikes. All types of people. All types of fun!

  • Maximum Capacity

    If you were in Richmond, you were on the river – including the two of us. We paddled up to the bridge and enjoyed exploration of the other side on the way down river.

    This will be a weekly thing. Thursdays at 6pm for those interested.

  • A Little Short

    Nine runners of different paces and distances explored new and familiar territory around UR. TYA took us out with a reminder about perspective and happiness.

  • Snake River Revisited

    A very lucky 13 beat the heat running, walking, and riding. We even had a visit from Phonics, who is speedy as always.

    Hitchhiker asked for prayers promoting harmony and peace.

    Phonics took us out.

  • Utah

    Six elite ruckers completed a 9.3 mile ruck in honor of D-Day. Terrain was varied, conversation as varied as the terrain, but the mission was consistent with singular focus.

    Our route reflected the distance from Utah Beach to Sainte-Mere-Eglise – a key town that needed to be taken during the invasion.

    Dropping the rucks for the 2nd F afterwards was euphoric after three hours on our feet. It was impactful to take an evening and reflect on the sacrifices made by others to afford today’s freedom.

  • Omaha

    Three ruckers with a mission launched from Libbie bound for 5.6 miles of the unknown. We covered a lot of hills. In fact, all of them. Tempsford, Wilton, Hillcrest, and Charmian. We moved at a good pace fueled by conversation, exchange of perspective, the cut off of happy hour, and to get the hills behind us.

    2nd F was awesome as always.

    June 6, we will launch from the same place, but at 7pm for 9.3 miles for the Utah ruck. We intend to end with a late dinner somewhere in the area. See Slack for details.

  • Strawberry Newton Meters

    Seven by foot and about that many on bikes converged on the OG of running AOs. A nice little venture seeing new streets with shade, peace, and conducive to a great run.

    Shotgun took us out.

  • Master of His Universe

    Fourteen Road Scholars embraced the hills of Westham for routes of multiple lengths. We started out with a climb up University Dr, a detour to First Watch, and then dropped down to Westham Station. There were various “finger hills” that challenged the Pax.

    The curious deer crossed the road and the hawk got his mouse. Marv took us out.

  • Hog Tied

    A record seven yogis, including one using a new mat, thought they were in for some light stretching to ease into the morning. We instead executed several power yoga motions building some muscle and breaking a sweat in the process.
