  • Lowering the Velvet Rope v2

    Just loved that comment from Boberry Friday, felt it should have a title rerun.

    Three regulars attended a River Run Monday morning jog. Salisbury to the golf course, back track to Bullseye, across to Stonegate and out to Brigstock, Mount Hill for a pit stop by YHC at the house, Brigstock back to start.

  • River Run v. 126ish

    Route – Salisbury to Helmsley loop, Salisbury down to Leafield over to Netherfields across Salisbury to Queenswood to Arrandale, onto golf course and back to start.

    Good run with Lug and Bullseye. Nice and slow to combat the humidity. 4 miles in total.

  • River Run v. 125

    Two regulars posted, one regular was located out on the roads.

    Route – Salisbury to Kingsmill to Stonegate, Ellesmere to Brigstock, golf course for a few holes back onto Salisbury.

    Thanks to Doozy for meeting up with YHC, even though some of the latter part of the run was broken up with Fartlicks due primarily to farts themselves. Found Bullseye and puttered around with him for a mile before departing back to the start.

  • LN Sighting

    Yep, you heard it, Lug Nut posted to River Run. Doozy threw a headlock and up he showed.

    Route – kind of a new route was made up on the fly. Albion to Banstead to Salisbury. Right onto golf course, couple holes out utilize construction home access out to Elmstead. Down to Castlebridge, across the lakefront and up to Kingsmill. Left back to start. 4.2 miles or so.

    Good to have our brother LN back out and catch up. Hot and muggy but the miles were logged.

  • River Run v. 132

    Muggy run this morning. Two emerged from the shadows of Reds in search of miles to jog. The result was successful. 4 miles for YHC, couple more for BE.

    Route – something like Chepstow to Salisbury to Gildenborough back to Salisbury.

    Thanks to Draper and the crew for the Homegrown 10K.

  • Full Moon/Sun Run

    This morning greeted MOT with an orange-ish full moon at the beginning only to be eclipsed (see what I did there) by an large, orange sun at the end. Great day for a stop on the tour.

    Routes – into Salisbury, 4s went Castle Bridge to Elmstead, 5s went Oakengate. Back around Winterfield and Westfield back to school. Lap around school.

    YHC heard MOT was selected as the stop on the tour this week and felt we should at least have a Q and a route. The regulars were greeted by Gumbo as the sole tourist this day. The pax met up on on Westfield and finished the run together.

    Homegrown half (10K or 5K) Saturday at 6:00 (or perhaps 7:00 for the 5K). Robious Landing Park.

  • River Run Unite

    YHC’s M was out of town to Mt. Hill and Brigstock loops were proposed, Bullseye answered the call and we met on the road at Lake Patrick Henry. 3.5 miles in total.

    Ran into a couple other F3ers walking some miles and thus the PAX doubled in size.

  • No Toll World Cup

    Four descended from their vehicles to a suspiciously low number of PAX at No Toll, only to realize it’s All Star week and the gang is playing home run derby at Robious. Scram took the reigns and off we went.

    Mosey to back parking lot, pay the toll. Warm up.

    Four corners once and then backwards.

    Parking lot crawls, lunges and merkins.

    Singer takes over – Dora across baseball field. Mosey to tennis courts. Abs. Mosey to basketball court for World Cup suicides.

    We realized quickly it would just be the four of us which was quite odd from the numbers No Toll has generated the past few years. Thanks to Scram for starting us off. Good World Cup conversations. Didn’t think France could lose! Espana!

  • River Run: New Runners!

    YHC is almost giddy to write up this back blast. Thanks to the summer tour, River Run had some esteemed guests this morning. Must say I wasn’t prepared for it as we have only designed 4 mile routes for a long time but the PAX was willing to endure.

    Route – NE on Salisbury to the golf course, run a couple holes to the far side, exit onto Stonegate. Left on Brigstock, left on Helmsley, left on Arrandell, back onto golf course, over to Banstead, left on Albion and through the path back to start.

    Great having some old friends back out on the run this morning. Few of us were recovering or just reinvigorating ourselves after vacation so the pace was slow but the terrain was flat as commented on. Tried to visit a few F3 homes on the route today as we’ve done many times at Spider Run, perhaps a new running tradition at River Run, where we neither run (jog really) nor see the river. Eye rolls abundant.

  • River Run v126

    Two regulars joined up for a River Run jaunt. 4 miles. Late on the post of this so the details escape me but it happened. Bullseye can confirm.
