Bullseye and YHC braved the elements this morning which consisted of warmer weather and a sprinkle at times.
Route – south Helmsley maybe back around to Netherfield, little golf course path back to Albion and home. 4 miles.
Bullseye went to a rodeo in Houston and saw Creed. He wins.
Stay safe.

Quite a foggy run this morning. Bullseye and YHC departed from Reds opting for a hilly run, or one hill that is. Salisbury Rd straight back to the Gildenborough Drive loop, Chepstow back to Albion. 4 miles in total.
Three usual suspects departed from Midlo Middle, opted for Salisbury out and around.
YHC has some Qdoba gastro issues at the furthest point from the beginning. My compadres saved the day with a mirage in the oasis, a shiny porto tucked away at the next driveway. TMI I know, but it was a lifesaver.
Draper and Bullseye laid witness to the SpaceX departure racing across the sky. Or was it Iran? We’ll never know.

Bullseye and Singer convened at Reds for 4 miles. Conversation got heated (in a good way) so we continued on for 5 while hashing out some work talk. Route was Elmstead and back around.
Three joined, one stayed for a solo bootcamp, the other two ran.
Out and back – 2 miles out Coalfield and back.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Just kidding, it was a good run.
-Singer
Two regulars joined up at Reds for a 5:30 departure, with one running from the house to the start.
The golf course route was selected but after 4 or 5 holes it was apparent the cart path was icier than the roads so the final 2 miles was opted for the Salisbury neighborhood.

Four Wednesday warriors convened upon Midlothian Middle School to tackle some mileage on foot.
Routes were chosen by mileage themselves, four miles or five miles. Draper and Boberry achieved 5, Bulleseye and YHC did four and Bullseye continued on for 6ish without the pax.
A gentle nod to the general assembly moving Marijuana recreational sale through under Spanberger. A classic Saab route from the Friday run series. Come on, we’ve all hot boxed a Honda Civic or Ford Explorer back in the day, hoping not to get caught. Our children will never know the challenges of our youth.
Stay healthy my friends. Puff puff give.

Two regulars conversed with the other regular only to find Doozy was still in banana hammock mode on his return from vacation. YHC confirmed somewhere around the third quarter of the game (anyone else watch?) I would be attending the run.
Route – Winterfield to Elmstead to Oakengate to Castleford to Kingsmill to Salisbury back to the start. 4 miles total.
It was a balmy 12 degrees at the start. YHC hoped for the 5:00 AM confirmation text was met with a ‘not today’ but that’s not the Bullseye way. All in all a good run, looking forward to warmer mornings soon.
-Singer
YHC and Bullseye met at Reds, one by foot and one by vehicle, to locate the least icy roads around the AO. Salisbury to Kentford, Queenswood over Helmsley, some side loops here and there on clearer roads, back to start for 4 miles.
-Singer
Two loungees arrived to an ice-covered AO much like the rest of the area. Still, there was exercises to be completed, slowly, and bones to be warmed, off we went.
Trying to stay off the ice, we moseyed down to the high school to find one clear lot. 30 minutes of Dora (merkins, squats, LBCs) later, attempt to mosey towards the track only to find the road less cleared. Retreat to the baseball field in between the elementary school and high school, bear crawl (because walking up might have been impossible) up the hill. Back to BWE, locate the paved walkways, run around them performing merkins and WWIIs. End.
Many thanks to Chaplain for holding true to his word and making an appearance. No doubt the lounge has its limits, weather being one. Still, Chap and YHC made the best of it, tried to stay warm over OYO counts and conversation.
