  • River Run v17

    Bullseye and I ran the river run loop 2 times and called it a day. Good stuff. Put it in big data.

  • Last Call

    Yes, Last Call made his first showing of fiscal year 2025 at River Run after much previous banter from pax members.

    Route – slow and steady, avoid the hills as much as possible, mosey around the high school to River Downs and partially up roller coaster for 4 miles. Doozy added more.

    Great to have Last Call join us this week. Hopefully he becomes a regular. Certainly not the lounge he’s accustomed to at Bettie Weaver as was pointed out. Way to go.

  • Tannins and Tech

    4 south side regulars ascended on River Run for an OG River Run route – Robious park parking lot loop back to Bettie bus loop, repeat once for 4 miles.

    Conversation was plentiful as we made our way back and forth to the park. Good to have OC back in the mix.

  • Tres Amigos Run

    Up twin team, through Powderham over to Brigstock and Mt. Hill, return to school. 4.5 miles in total.

  • The Captive Kevin Run

    Not too much to report, good crew out this morning for River Run. Flatter route was chosen, out and back from Bettie to River Downs and up to Roller Coaster. OC rucked around somewhere.

    Thoughts and prayers for Kevin, OC’s deck contractor, who may feel the wrath of a woman scorned if he doesn’t get his act together soon.

  • River Run Lads

    Three regulars descended from the vehicles and took off around Bettie Weaver for a holiday inspired route.

    Four milers – continuous clover leaf type turns in the neighborhoods surrounding Bettie and James River HS until YHC was ready to head back.

    One-armed leprechaun- hill repeats on Twin Team.

    Thought of the route on the quick jaunt over to the site, something like a clover but in review really not at all. Appreciated the time this morning with Doozy has he placed a 25 lb pack on and still dragged YHC around a better clip than normal. Maybe it was the many Guinness consumed this weekend. Still, my ‘pack’ is much heavier than 25 pounds, so I’ll stick with that excuse. Bullseye slow paced Mt. Sisyphus, t-claps to him.

    Happy St. Paddy’s Day

  • Pi Day

    Empty parking lot, that fart sack was feeling pretty nice a few minutes before YHC arrived at the site. Oh well, solo workout commenced. Couple miles logged, track work at the high school, bleacher runs (new one for YHC), back to Bettie for some additional creative ground and pound. End workout.

    The Lounge was lonely today, hope to see more out in the future. Maybe we need a text thread for the locals to generate some buzz on a weekly basis, just a thought. This has worked in other locations. Who’s the site Q anyway?

  • Hill Repeats or Not

    YHC didn’t realize there was a Q as Doozy had declared hill repeats via text message, sorry Chaplain. YHC decided to toss out a route that summited Twin Team twice but not repeatedly beat ourselves into submission. Chaplain took the 2.0 on a flatter run. YHC took OC out around the Brigstock hood, and Doozy, Boberry and Bullseye repeated Twin Team in different manners.

    Good to have our buddy Bullseye back out as he recovers from surgery.

    Carry on my PAX friends.

  • Powderham Loops

    All three opted for a 4-mile route this AM so off to Powderham we went. Up Twin Team, Cawood over to the loop, once around and back over to Brigstock via Ellesmere. Return home for a little extra credit for around 4.3 miles.

    Good to have Lug back out these past few weeks, and good to catch up with House Party.

  • 10 years a Q

    Q sheet open. 9:00 PM. YHC realized his first Q was Valentines Day week, must have been 2015, at No Toll. Time to resurrect a few things recollected.

    Parking lot empty, YHC hoped someone would join the festivities. In comes Rosie and Sanchez, and off we went. YHC knew Sanchez hadn’t experienced the joy of Twin Team yet, the namesake. Warm up at the base (yes of course there was a honeymoon suite) and head up for some LOVE hill. Couple different versions as we made our way to the top – bear crawls, lunges, Ukrainian Soldiers, Bernies. Ring of Fire merkins in between and ring of fire heals to heaven. Mosey back down to the school. 10 pull ups on the bars or whatever you could muster. Double suicide across the basketball courts from the 10 year prior Q. Some abs at the end.

    Thanks to the two amigos who joined YHC. Good conversation as we made our way around. The total mileage upon completion was a serendipitous 2.14 miles. Enjoy the holiday, however it is that you do or not celebrate it.

    By the way, where’s The Lounge pax at these days?
