A dominant duo plus the Q convened for today’s Currahee. Not knowing many of the back road cut throughs, the Q called for: West on Old Prescott to RidgefieldLeft on RidgefieldLeft on CambridgeLeft on Stonequarter to do the loop back to CambridgeRight on CambridgeRight on LL DriveMeander through Tuckahoe LL and emerge at the back of the shopping centerLeft on John RolfeRight on Pump back to VSF Numbers, names, YHC took us out. MoleskinGood fellowship with a small crew today. Ample time to be with our thoughts which for YHC today ranged from schooling to vaccines to other various challenges…

Six Stallions gathered for a cool morning run on a cross neighborhood route named after a law firm. Greenbow took us out. Route – S on Pump, Wellington, Weather Vane, Tunbridge, Gayton, JRP, Glen Eagles, Old Prescott. More or less. NMS- parts of the West end can feel like you’re in a rabbit warren. The neighborhoods around Gayton are key examples (looking at you Wellington and the back 9 of Kingsley). They feature just enough turns to head you in different directions so that you question which way you’re looking and thus it’s tough to make a decision to go…

Three gentlemen left the comfort of the fartsack to venture into the cool morning air for a 5 brocode mile run. Handshake took us out. NMS – We love this route because it is challenging at the right times after recovery from the last. Handshake likes how the twists and turns within DRP makes the time melt away For whatever reasons today we were more challenged – need some bad days to know what the good days feel like. Power through and get it done. Good work gents. Currahee!

Four of us went out to see just where we might end up. This route cut some corners from the original, and still comes in at 5.5 – but there is no point in running to the lake if you dont run around the lake – come on man! Pinto took us out. Prayers for the world. . NMS – YHC was heartened today by one of our west end neighbors that is always out of Friday when we are. “Run with the Lord!” he always shouts as we run by. We need to get him to a COT to…

Seven svelte stallions gathered in the gloom to shake out the cobwebs and enjoy a 3C clear morning. We ran the Brookmont route in reverse. NMS – This is a solid route and we have not run it since we moved the start so it’s a tad long at 5.5. The good thing is that it should be pretty easy to make into a 6 and 5 for next time. YHC backup headlamp died at 550 in DRP – It’s dark in there and a reminder that headlamps and vests are a good idea at Currahee. Mumblechatter on par…

3rd F: Thank you Handshake for taking us out in prayer. 2nd F: Check Slack for various opportunities. There appears to be many impromptu events that pop up during the day. Side Note: If anyone has a lead sled for sighting in a new scope i’d love to host an event on my property for some distance rifle shooting. can do some skeet as well over the cleared area.1st F: The Thang26 Currahee pax joined up for a classic style gear workout that include tire pulls, slam ball, cinder blocks, fire hose drag and about every other coupon a pax…

5 West end warriors gathered for a perfect running day. NMS – The temperature was perfect but the wind and the lack of warm up in the beginning had most of the pax feeling a little rusty. We powered through and our closer to reaching our goals. There is something about the neighborhoods just south of Gayton that make YHC feel like we are in a rabbit warren. Just enough gloom and twisting streets that change names do not help. We will figure it out. Prayers for today go out to Greenbow and his family and also the people in…

Five fleet footed PAX came out to see what route would come up. Figure 8 it was. Pump out to Short pump park and back. All stayed together for 5. Good times. Coffee at Einstein’s was better.

Some times its the accountability partner that gets you out of bed to go post. This morning was one of those times.. when you hear the wind howling and its raining at 430 am, all YHC wants to do is go back to bed.. but after texting with Roger Roger last night and him saying he was going to be there.. welp, then you cant just not show up. 0530 AM… YHC is sitting in the AO parking lot alone. ?about to head back to the house had this nagging feeling to go check the back parking lot where Currahee…

8 men lept from the fartsack and into the gloom for a rain. We finished in a downpour. HOOah. 4 milers – Old Prescott, Glen Eagles, JRP, Ridgefield, Pump 5 milers – Old Prescott, Glen Eagles, JRP, Gayton, Turnbridge, Weather Vane, Green Mount/Oakney/Clarisbrook, Pump NMS – shoes and clothes got a good washing today. Nothing better than that. Route planning at Curahee is a bit challenging because unlike RAMM, where you can just extend or shorten a block to get a precise distance, small changes can swing the distance by 1/2 mile. Missed turns create chaos – like drivers backing…
