Somewhere between 12 and 16 able-bodied pavement warriors gathered in the forbidden parking lot for today’s RAMM/RAMM Gears. The few runners were quickly swarmed by the gears crew prior to launch. Luckily, a few more runners arrived right as we launched so numbers were relatively even. Variations of the Clovelly route were called: 4s: https://onthegomap.com/s/evbak6d65s: https://onthegomap.com/s/gfkphqr36s: https://onthegomap.com/s/3f7djt48 Fartleks weren’t even discussed. Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Moleskine The runners all remembered that darn goon Clovelly being much longer and deeper than experienced today (here come the jokes). It is still a good alternative offshoot to throw in there from time to time.…

Eight HIMS came out to Satan’s Hill on this cool morning to end the week on a high note. After a brief mosey, we warmed up with side straddle hops, Don Quixote, Ukrainian Soldiers, and some deadman hangs. For the workout, took a tour of the neighborhood Indigenous Run style. After all members of the pax completed their sprint, we circled up for a Ring of Fire. After a full cycle through the Ring of Fire, we hit the pavement again for another Indigenous Run. Rinse and Repeat. When we finally returned to the clubhouse, Mudslide led us in 10…
It’s weird when other people are at the park before us doing what we presume to be workouts, but then again they were probably wondering why we were there so early as well. Then we get a creepy car driving around the lot very slowly and suspiciously enough for us to grab our KB’s and high tail it out of there since the workout had ended. Weird morning at PFP. Anyway, this is what the strangers witnessed as 2 Rise & Grinders emerged from the gloom for some broga/kbs. Mosey around the football field trail. A solid 10 mins of…
7 HIMs showed up a beautiful August morn to play the much requested, desired Ultimate Football!!! Warm Up: Side-Straddle Hops, Dead Man Hangs, Merkins, LBCs, Butterfly stretching. The Game Plan: We numbered off with 3 (Pad-Thai, GlobeTrotter, Matlock) v 3 (Fandango, FlyBoy, Teddy KGB) Grown Men; and our newest FNG being all time offense for both teams which proved to be worth its weight in gold in strategy. Points are awarded for Interceptions (which the interceptor could FREE RUN until tagged) & FNG assists into the endzone with blocking for and/or passing to for a TD. HIGHLIGHTS: Pad -Thai =…
5 Gorillas of the Gloom posted to 45MOM for a bowl full of Gumbo. 2 other PAX finished rides and runs to join for COT. This is how it went down… Despite the feverish back and forth on Slack about animal survival and strength, we did not solve the question of 10,000 rats vs 5 Gorillas vs 3 brown bears, etc., but we did manage to break a sweat. Mosey to the courts for COP, including some stretching. 11s – on the basketball court sideline 10 merkins, 1 box cutter, run across both courts, 9 and 2…and so on Mosey…

It was one of those lonely parking lot mornings at 530am, still no one around. “Coming in hot? …. I guess not” said Beat It to himself, looking at his watch. A few stretches and an internal pep talk about the joys of solo running two minutes later, when Beat It’s hopes were lifted. A pair of headlights in the distance squealed to a stop & a figure emerged from an unknown car. “Beaver, is that you?” From a distance, you gotta admit …But it wasn’t Beaver. Daville’s finest new recruit from Shady Grove Methodist staff spoke from the Shadows…
YHC had a chance to Q this morning in SoFl. Solid group of dudes. They write BBs slightly differently, name FNGs on Day 2, and carry coupons when everywhere. And, these guys push themselves in some brutally humid conditions. Enjoy the BB.
