4 Davillians and a visitor from south of the wall enjoy some cooler temps and got in their weekly run
Route – Reverse Rutland/Knollwood minus the Cool Forest Trail but of course include the Bojangles loop for a little over 4 miles
Great to have Boberry join us this monring. First time he has been back since the Davillian relays and got lost in Knollwood. This time we made sure to call out the turns so he didn’t have to run a 10k again
SPIT ON THAT!!
Two SOJ veterans and a single summer tourist made up a trio of hardened HIMS that decended onto the FORGE to see what was in store for a Last Call Q. 5.30 came, lets mosey
Downhill mosey to the cul-de-sac for F3 welcome and disclaimer (are we at No Toll or Forge?). Exercises soon followed to warm the aching bones. Everyone looked good to go, lets get it on:
THE THANG –
1st up was a Triple Check. Balls to the Wall, Imperial Squat Walkers, Timer runs to the 3rd, 4th then 5th light pole depending on the round. Thank you Doozy for the idea.
Next up – Light Pole 11’s with Merkins and 2 count Mountain Climbers
For the Finale – Mt Chaplain Prostitute Style. Starting at the low parking lot – 5 jerkins on the rail. Run to next parking lot, 10 WW2’s, then back to the rail for 5 jerkins. Repeat 10 WW2’s then Bearcrawl up Mt Chaplain to next parking lot for 15 Carolina Dry Docks. Return down Mr. Chaplain for WW2’s & Jerkins. Rinse and Repeat stopping at every parking lot for an exercise – 20 Shoulder Taps (2-count), 15 American Hammers (2-count), 10 Squats, finishing with 5 burpees. PAX crushed this, completing the Burpees at the flag.
Numbers, Names, Announcements, YHC took us out.
Announcements –
HDHH – Wednesday August 11, Run and 5, Salsa at 6 – Honeydo hosting
Sip and See Retreat in September in Amelia – make a day or stay the night, plenty of options as long as jorts are worn.
Field Day – Dogpile in September.
NMS: Lower numbers due to vacations, summer tour or the dislike of YHC’s bathing protest. Either way Doozy and Gypsy tore what was thought to be a tough workout. Mt Chaplain was extra slippery with the grass cutting ban currently being enforced in the City of Richmond. During the workout, a silver sedan with Freezy vanity tags decided the sidewalk was the best route to get to her destination and was not ashamed to cruise around the school on the walking surface. Never know what to expect at South of the River. Great conversation afterwards with Gypsy and Doozy. Great to see Gypsy making the rounds on the tour. Hopefully he will continue to join us in the future. Great work boys.
13 studs posted on a temperate Tuesday morning for a run through the Henrico county hills. Route was Mount Henrico. For six miles just a little over six, five milers, about 5.5 and 4 milers, just a few tenths of a mile over

A few folks go temporarily lost on the run. Bone Thugs took the right onto Westham Parkway and kept going until he hit Patterson. Once he hit Patterson, he realized he went the wrong way. He turned around and asked for directions back to UR and made it back with a few more miles on his body and 15 minutes of extra running. Sippy also took a wrong turn, but righted himself very quickly, just an extra quarter mile. Although the Mount Henrico route is a little long on mileage, I think the extra time and energy is worth it. Tough run, complicated directions, but rewarding.
9 stallions posted for a Thursday morning workout. It was 62 degrees and sunny. Perfect morning for a workout.

TYA OUT
Launched solo run at Early Bird Biscuit Co. via the regular route around the lake. Swiper generously ran with YHC on his return.
YHC was waiting for other PAX to join but quickly learned it would be a solo exercise. YHC started running around the park and headed to the Stone House at the Forest Hill park via the Nickel bridge.
Always 60 and sunny, maybe not. But it was today! Time to seize the day with an enthusiasm unbeknownst to the rest of mankind. Here is how it went down:
Great to have Termite back for another posting this week! Solid work from our newest member of the PAX. Also, good to have more passport tour members at this KB AO. Great start to the day. PAX gave thanks for able bodies and great fellowship that came with this morning.
