6 of the greatest action hero’s from the 1970’s and 1980’s joined for this months Currahee bro-code run. Same normal run, it went well. Here was the lineup:
Lighthouse – Liam Neeson
Whitesnake – Charles Bronson
Mr. Rogers – Harrison Ford
EF Hutton – Kurt Russell
Gypsy – Steven Seagal
Handshake – Patrick Swayze
Announcements – the official Handshake 40th Birthday Q tomorrow at Dogpile.
Unsure if part of the route actually existed, five men sought the truth while one did his own thing. Here’s where they went:
The Route
Numberama, Nameorama, COT
MOLESKIN
What appeared to be a pretty harmless route on paper, turned into a son of a b*tch of a route with almost all low-grade uphill. Sincerest apologies to all. By the end Lulu’s stomach was in knots. So much so, that she ruined coffee and possibly Handshake’s backseat.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
8 runners made their way to Curahee with YHC on the Q sheet, everyone seemed slightly amused at thinking how YHC was going to get lost on his own Q. However YHC already planned ahead and had decided to use the Navy’s K.I.S.S. principle, so run up Pump to Ridgefield take a left out and back, turn around at about the 22.5 minute mark.
BTTF Numbers / Names Handshake took us out
NMS:
YHC signed up for the Q thinking that I have done enough Curahee runs that I should have a good idea for a route but the other routes YHC was thinking of might have been a bit much to keep it under 45 minutes. Thanks for letting me lead this on this morning guys, next time I will try the extended route.
Ten brave soles came out on February morning to brave the elements and run in the dark. We run the Handshake route: up Pump, left keeping on Pump, right on Broad, right on John Rolfe, back to the Flag.
There was a discussion at the end on whether purple is appropriate color for shoes. But after the owner explained that purple was $60 cheaper, all agreed that the color is totally appropriate.
Congratulations to Doozy on 1000 posts!
I have a new idea, let’s do this route where we get to go up a Raintree hill twice and never go down it. We can also find more hills later as we run around in circles. Sound good?
Seven of us followed my dizzying 4 different circles route without error and enjoyed ~4.5-5 miles while Blue Moon continued his comeback routine.
There was one error, YHC picking this route.
A good group at Dunkin’ followed. Looking forward to Pigskin and Gomer returning from Honduras and hearing about their trip.
February has a few different challenging events for this group. Come join in!
Feb 10: Frozen Triangle CSAUP starts at 6AM at Dogpile
Feb 17: Oak Island Race-Blue Moon (10k) and Gypsy (Half) (along with others from F3)
Feb 25: Bear Creek 10 Mile- Whitesnake and Upchuck (along with others from F3)
Nice cold morning to be out on roads working off the holiday fat. We ran the figure 8 route which is oddly named as its really more of a “9” 4.4 miles 8:53 pace, a few ran further and some ran less. All finished with circle of trust and naming our 23 year old FNG who played baseball, Strawberry. Interestingly he was asked his first concert….never been to one. Strawberry stuck. Ha Ha
With nary a virgin street anywhere near Godwin, nine behemoths pounded the same old worn-out pavement. Here’s where they went:
The Route
Numberama, Nameorama, COT
MOLESKIN
Like a one-armed kayaker, this boat only went one direction. Nine runners, nine rights. Running sucks. YHC fell in a hole. The end.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Seven Titans took to the streets in search of rolling hills. Here’s where they went:
The Route
Numberama, Nameorama, COT
MOLESKIN
With ice in his beard Gypsy posed the question, does anyone have a good idea for a route? YHC responded, I have a route, though I doubt it’s a good idea. Nevertheless it’s what was done. Wally too had an icy beard when all was said and done.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Currahee regs know the deal. #BD integrity.
Welcome to Westhoe Running on Friday.
5.5 Miles and 200+ ft of elevation gain.
route posted the night before.. ask the PAX if there are any questions.. typical Gomer response… Pigskin mixed stuff up and went the other way around Godwin on his solo bootcamp.. the rest of us headed north on Pump to Church and cut into Barrington to Three Chop. Then back to the AO.
Announcement: last week for shoe drive.. YHC has to big moving boxes already, but looking to fill 2 more.
SYITG!!
