  • Monday Funday

    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.

  • Ye Old Out-N-Back

    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.

  • Playing Through

    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.

  • Roll Your Own

    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.

  • I Can’t Feel My Face

    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.

  • Ice Ice Running

    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.

  • Cold Potato Q

    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.

  • Tres Amigos Running

    Bullseye, Rosie and YHC took off for the streets of Midlothian without a care or clue in the world. After a short jaunt up west on Midlo we opted for a giant loop – Charter Colony, Woolridge, Mount Midlo and home, for 4ish miles.

    Late posting this one so that’s about all I can recall. We ran, we saw, we conquered.

    Draper is allergic to us and working out at the moment.

  • Reds Routes Version #11

    New AO, new running routes. This time Bullseye led us through the golf course for a bit and then over to Kentford, back to Stonegate, located the path back to the golf course to the clubhouse and back to the AO. 4ish miles traveled by AO runners, Bullseye picked up some more running to and fro.

  • Ice Road Runners

    Thankfully no one fell off the road on this morning’s episode of Ice Road Runners.

    Bullseye and YHC conversed in the evening, felt starting from the AO would be fine, and knew we’d provide Doozy with some company before and after the workout.

    Due to the icy conditions and secondary roads not being plowed, not even Coalfield and Charter Colony, we took off east on Midlothian and quickly located Old Buckingham which was safe to run on and then found a unicorn in Unison Drive, salted and clear as a summer day with no traffic. Out two, back two, solid 4 miles.

    Coffee at Starbucks with the SOT gents was welcomed by all.
