Five locals attended what was intended to be a momentarily dry outing that turned into a wet morning at River Run.
Runners – run to boat landing and back to BWE bus loop, rinse and repeat once, add the street across the school for the 4 mile route. Ruckers did pretty much the same route.
Good run/ruck gents. Thanks to the ruckers who decided to make a morning of it. Nostalgia got the best of the pax with older children, elf on the shelf chores broke it all up. Doozie slept in, kind of.

4 usual suspects arrived to the former SOT now known solely as MOT. No Q on the sheet and so the 4s decided their fate as well as the 5/6 milers. Off into Salisbury we went, return at 6:15.

Four southsiders arrived at BWE to discuss routes and off to Powderham we went.
4s – Twin Team to Caward, loop around Powderham, right on Ellesmere to Brigstock and back. Doozy added some extra out and backs with the 4s.
Don’t get lost.
OC rucked. His foot hurts.
Good time gents, keep after it. Thanks to the Vets. Prayers for those in need.

Five locals attended River Run for a non-river involved run. Routes were up Twin Team, down Brigstock, add Mount Hill Drive loop back to Brigstock, and continue down Brigstock until 22-24 minutes, return to start.
Thanks for continuing support of River Run. Pleasure was discussed in the avoidance of the 3:00 AM downpour, that would have been rough. Onward and upward my friends.

A crew of 7 showed up for a soggy MOT run. No Q on the sheet, ideas were presented, 4s took off into Salisbury and the 5s went somewhere else and YHC didn’t catch the route.
What to say, it was a wet run but a strong showing for less than desirable weather.
I am forgetting who the 7th runner was, a 5 miler. I put Draper down but I can’t recall if he was there or someone else. Touch base with me to edit if needed.
Seven locals attended River Run for a little (or long) jog through the streets of Midlothian. As Doozy presented, the route was chosen: Roller coaster. Otherwise if you felt compelled, Doozy provided a 10 mile route which all but himself politely declined.
The gaggle of Chaps made a strong appearance, leaving the fours in the dust at the hill. Chap’s going to have his hands full trying to keep the kiddos pace pretty soon. Lone Wolf, Bullseye and YHC puttered around for 42 minutes in varying paces but managed to log 4 miles.
Walking COT to end, trying out new things.
Quickly, the 10 year convergence was a sight to behold, brought back a lot of memories to see everyone at one event. Thanks to those who put it on. Congrats to Rosie overtaking the lead for our region, well deserved, and to Gomer for his services.

Some dudes showed up and ran, YHC forgot to post it but never too late.
Route – up twin team and down brigstock, out and back for 4, 5 and maybe 6. 4s added Mount Hill loop on the return.
Apologies, just realized this morning that I forgot to post this. I know some of our pax like their stats. Good run this (that) morning, Honey Do preparing for the Blue Ridge, Hutton on the tour I believe.

YHC thought it might be a low turnout due to the preceding weekend’s Homegrown race (great job by the way), but with minutes to spare a couple cars came racing in and off we went.
Route – the flattest running route from Bettie you can find – to Robious Landing, around the loop, back to Bettie and around the bus loop. Two times over for around 3.8 miles.
Thanks to Elwood and Lone Wolf for making it out. Lone Wolf has been crushing it after a multi-year absence until last Monday. Way to go. Great to run with them both as we all had a similar speed this morning. YHC had thought about another route but with the slightly achy bones and a couple dudes expressing their introduction back to running, we kept it nice, flat and sloggin through the morning humidity. -Singer
5:27 AM – no sign of life other than my own. Checked the Q sheet, no one there either.
5:29 AM – shit, forgot to put my watch on after charging.
5:30 AM – run up twin team back to the homestead.
5:33 AM – regret running up Twin Team
5:40 AM Grab watch, wake everyone in the house, figure why not take the dog out for an exercise too. Run back down to school, perform various exercises in the field. End of task.
Left Doozy hanging solo on Monday, guess I deserved this one, but TT had good numbers in the previous outings. Hopefully just an anomaly. If there a special handshake text thread that someone would like to invite me to, that would be sweet.

Not quite but surprisingly close! Four locals and three downrange attended a SOJ takeover.
Thang – mosey to circle – warmup (SSH, squats, Don Q, Heels). Carillon field – bear crawl sideways across field, merkin ladder up to 5 and back down to 1, Bernie sanders back. Full length field – partner up for Love Hill. Lunges and broad jumps until reach other side. Circle up for merkin challenge. increase merkins with 1 burpee in between up to 7 and back down. Mosey to rusty cage with a stop at picnic tables for dips. Triple check – pull ups, jerkins, run to hydrant. Mosey to amphitheater – increasing ladder up each step merkins, world war IIs, dips. 1 to 18 in total. Return home for little bit of Mary.
Great morning to be out gents. The locals were surprised when not one but two vehicles parked in slightly odd locations and walked towards the AO start. Welcome Goldilocks and Slingshot from F3 Hartsville and Limey from Charlotte, though I believe Limey has been here before. The morning was cool, introductions and small talk were had, the pax got after it and enjoyed the comradery. SOJ takeover continues. Pickleball? No, no pickleball today.
