6 studs and 3 canines got after it despite pouring rain at go time.
Route is to the short pump park and back. Some walked doggos
Pinto took us out. Prayers for healing and travelers. Coffeeteria at Dunkin
NMS- it’s tough to get up in the dark and head out into pouring rain, but you will always be better for it. The solid rain abated around 550 and the cooler but not cold temperatures were worth it.
Get some!

On the day ESPN The Ocho started, 8 runners came out to Rutland CH for Thursday Runday
Route was a traditional loop through the Craney Island Neighborhood for 4 miles or add the Bojangles loop to get 4.5+ miles and Mustang put in some OT and got 5+ miles
Great to have large numbers again for a run and some of our newest PAX members out twice this week
SPIT ON THAT!!
Elite 8 showed on what turned out to be a relatively cool and pleasant morning.
Best wishes to Splinter as his ankle heals.
Saab abides
A dozen SOJ lumberjacks gathered in the cool gloom of the Forge, their axes and appetites whetted for whatever glorious pain DTH had in store. Here’s what the Neighborhood Watch has reported to the authorities:

Mosey BTTF for COT:
NMS: Remarkably cool weather helped soften the insulting and painful nature of handling the DTH cabers, but a change is as good as a holiday, and the PAX crushed it. Last Call won the Most Grumbling Award. Understandable given the lightweight stature of his wood. Kimura won Most Improved PAX by hitting 3 AO’s in his very first week. TClaps! Bone Thugs won the 3rd F Award with some deep thoughts and words of encouragement during the COT. Also, incline burpees are waaaay nicer then regular ones. Keep posting gents! SYITG, DTH

Prayer Requests:
We had the entire professorial staff from VCU, ½ of the available white animals in the area, a green animal, someone lugging a kettlebell (carrying a kb in your car is way too easy), suspected illegal immigrants from south of the (James) river, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ygqPepLjM.
And music! Some of which was in Spanish.

Take out by YHC. “At Gibeon, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night and God said, ‘Ask what I should give you.’ And Solomon said, … ‘Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil’”.
Nice even number of 6, perfect for a triple check but that wasn’t on the winky this morning so according to the trash collectors this is what went down.

Mosey BTTF for a round of Ab Mary
Florence took us out (Ooops) Numbers and Names (yes we did it in reverse)
NMS:
Whenever someone gets on the Lexicon before their Q, it could be a bad day. The Burpee Jackass Webb is no joke, just like the Jack Webb’s you think its not a problem until you get about half way through. The old men prevailed this morning with 4 of the 6 being on the respect side.
The regulars pulled into the lot to find a couple of new guys waiting already.
One downrange traveler posted to Smoke & Mirrors in F3 Cary. YHC was confused as he arrived early at the AO, waited for PAX to arrive but as cars arrived noticed these were FIA ladies. Turns out the parking lot is a joint AO on Tuesdays while guys go off-campus WTH style.
Pyrogie took the Q and ran us just shy of 3 miles with merkins, squats and dips thrown in along the way. Finish back up at AO while FIA is wrapping theirs up as well. YHC Shared with Cary PAX that he was checking off Summer Tour Bonus point with the Downrange post. They were impressed with the ST concept.
3 kayakers took to the water on a warm Thursday evening. All 3 stayed in their kayak and good times were had. Need to do more of this while weather is good!
