Fourteen trekkers who didn’t get their fill from 2 weeks ago, returned to base camp for another summit attempt. The Q left early but passed along ample instructions. Mt Henrico it is again.

This route does two things. 1. It never gets old. 2. It never gets easier.
Almost everyone made it to the top. There was still 1 that got lost but made it back to base camp successfully.
Fourteen of the best gentlemen you could find, gathered to listen to today’s instructions. Two started early but were instructed to come back for further instructions. Routes were:

Much to everyone’s likely disbelief, YHC hadn’t planned on intervals today until yesterday. Sometimes you need to push yourself harder than you normally would in order to clear your mind and soul of life’s complications. Today was one of those days for YHC.
Thank you all for enduring the repeats up those hills with me. Every step of mine was in memory of Bella.
Four, then 5, then a very late 6, literally fought off the fartsack to gather at the ‘Hoe for today’s post super bowl hangover workout. Short mosey over to the church parking lot for:
COP
The Thang
Quick mosey backwards to pickup the LIFO then medium mosey over to the other church parking lot for the start of Super 21s. 1x merkin / 1x reverse crunch. Run to opposite corner for 2/2. Back to start for 3/3. Continue to 5/5. 21x jump squats.
The smallest of moseys over to the other church administrative office parking lot for 6-10, running halfway around the building between sets. 21x lunges.
Slightly longer mosey over to the Walgreen’s parking lot for 11-15, running to the end of the parking lot between sets and bernie’ing back. 21x side lunges.
Back to the church administrative building for 16-20, running halfway around between sets. Slow walk if you are a leader. 21x squats.
Back to the 2nd church parking lot for set 21. IG run back to the bus loop.

‘Twas a great morning to be alive. Cool air, light breeze, fresh (a’hem) air. Today we were reminded of the 8 lbs of chicken wings Handshake made and who knows what Fudd made.
Flo showed his bashfulness during triple check while also learning about the intestinal habits of a few middle-aged men.
Apologies of the day goes to Pigskin for not keeping the distance down. Way to push it!
Thank you to all who showed.

More people didn’t return for COP than departed this morning but nonetheless we still had fun staring at each other. Route was posted late(ish) yesterday afternoon. Some (one) saw it in advance and the other(s) still needed instruction. Off we went on a quest for doughnut smells and scratch & sniff peaches.

RAMM proper has had lower numbers for a few weeks. Ask a friend or FNG to come out to join us. If you need directions to the AO, don’t ask TYA.

Eight or nine folks gathered at Mary for a legacy master Q. We ran over to the parking lot for COP then met on the track for something like this:
The Thang
The rules were concocted along the way and included:
Numbers, names, and the Q took us out.
If YHC missed your name, comment on slack.
Thirteen early gloom knuckleheads, a third of whom gathered even earlier, convened in the church parking lot for the first First Watch of ’23. After Ronnie and Last Call traded t-shirts, we took a quick counter clockwise mosey around the parking lot before circling up for:
COP
The Thang
Extremely short mosey to South Ridge. The name of the game was left, right, or left & right. Mosey the big loop down South Ridge, up Highland, left on River back to the AO. Every time we come to a crossroad, we did 20 of 3 different exercises.

Thanks to the PAX for sticking with the theme today. As Bodo’s proclaimed, it was a high cardio workout. For those counting at home, 7 L/R, 3 L, 3 R and ~1.75 miles. By all accounts, the PAX enjoyed it.
Some of the PAX especially enjoyed the tucking practice during tuck jumps. Flo may have lost a ball so be on the lookout.

Fifteen extremely excited individuals gathered to kick off ’23 with a run. Route was pre-published so there were few questions.

Flatline came in jamming to Plush, on CD no less. Apparently he’s been retreading 90s grunge since breakfast club on Saturday. Rock on.
Anthrax needs to do a better job training his dog where to go to the restroom.
Thanks for showing up and getting the day started strong.

A gaggle of thirteen convened for an early morning tacky light tour. There was no music but there was enough lighting to keep everyone entertained, even Marv. Route was as follows:

We are clearly in the season of giving with two of our regulars giving their pitch as to why their church is the better church for NYE (or Christmas Eve). One sounds very fun and entertaining whereas the other seems enlightening and intellectual. We almost had a weigh in for a 175lb weight class sparring match to determine the winner.
Prayers to all for a great holiday season and to all those traveling that they have uneventful trips to their destination.
No mentions of General Motors nor scrotums before the PAX departed to start their days.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Sixteen bootcamp dodgers settled into the UR maintenance bowl (er… not that kind of bowl) for today’s Spider Run. After TYA briefly attempted to hijack direction calling by informing us of his latest educational podcast, YHC spouted off <<mostly>> clear directions and off we went.

Leave it to TYA to provide us with great thoughts leading into our run this AM. Luckily, the festive lights around Patterson this time of year got us back on track.
Always a pleasure gentlemen.

Marv collected the names and YHC can’t remember very well. We had people at 530 looking for Lockjaw to no avail. Marv stepped up and called:

No Bread. Massive disappointment. We all blamed Marv.
