Eight chose the gloom over the warmth of an extra hour in bed. We split into groups based on speed, soreness, and levels of sickness and took off toward Short Pump Park. A straight shot—up and down—making it hard to get lost (but no guarantees). Mileage ranged from 4 to 4.5, depending on pace and how much you trust your GPS. Solid effort all around! Appreciate everyone showing up, and for those recovering—heal up and get back out there soon!

It was cold. The Route was the Bro-code. 2 dogs and 5 pax joined up to do a mubblechatter pace 4.5 mile run. Coffee and donuts after. no leaders or followers in Bro-code. We go as one and finish as one.
Route was posted Thursday night. It allows for many alterations, but full route was 5.5 miles with 400+ feet of elevation gain. Arrive at AO with temps in the teens. Quick discussion of route to hear that the route was “a little excessive”. Pace pairs talked about where to cut route to make it back 0615. Headlamps on.. It’s 0530, let’s mosey. YHC ran solo, so was not part of any Mumble Chatter. Back to flag with a few mins left so circle back for the 6. YHC does like this route. It is a challenging 5+ miler. Rollers the…
Nine men set out by foot, all nine returned…eventually. Here’s where: The Route L on Pump L on Falconbridge R on Raintree R on Cherrywood L on Cedarbluff L on Waltham Continue on Chauncey Continue on Raintree L on Maremont Circle Godwin Back to SF Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN What’s it called when a 70 something goes missing? IE the opposite of an Amber Alert? Thankfully we didn’t have to find out. Pigskin and running partner made it back safely. Other topics of the morning, UpChuck’s current events, Wally’s haircut, Country Style’s amazing Apple Fritters, and applying to public high…

Temps were nice Fog was high. 2 routes. 3 groups and 2 solo. All math checked out by Lighthouse over coffee after Sunday 7@7. enjoy the Coffee and Donuts. prays for everyone.
Just like the historic dog sled run of 674 miles saving Nome, Alaska 100 years ago, by transporting an antitoxin for diphtheria across harsh terrain in 127.5 hrs, with temps going as low as -85 F, 6 gloom warriors bro coded under cold, pelting rains, pounding the mean streets of Westhoe beneath our powerful feet. With no dogs of fame such as Balto or Togo to carry us along, we had only a thoroughly soaked Wally, our wits, and a relentless pushing forward. We left no man behind, except for Pigskin, as he acted as great men do, plotting his…
11 intrepid PAX met at this weeks edition of the West End run club. Temps externally were positively balmy, being in upper teens, internally it remained 70 degrees and sunny. There were even a few bare knees this morning! YHC had the Q as part of the SOJ takeover week. The route was as follows, more or less: Behind the school and onto Windbluff Dr At end left on pepper hill Next left onto falconbridge Go straight across into deep run park and onto the path. Follow paved path, taking a right at every intersection. Right on turtle run dr…
With never a doubt that the trails would be clean and clear, YHC set off to lead, but was stumped by a fork in the road. Here’s where the Pax was supposed to go: The Route Out the back of Godwin R on Willowick L on Windbluff L on Raintree R on Ridgefield Enter main road into Deep Run Park Bear right on to trail just past the Rec Center Exit trail on Cottrell L on Cedar Knoll L on Cox R on Ridgefield L on Pump Circle behind Godwin Back to SF Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN As the A-Team…
In search of safety the Pax stuck to main roads. Here’s where: The Route L on Pump L on Falconbridge R on Raintree L on Deepwood Circle R on Raintree L on Maremont Circle Godwin Gypsy and Lighthouse did some extra Back to SF Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN Without the dangling carrot of a steaming cup of coffee to motivate the Pax, the effort was there but the enthusiasm was not. Most would have preferred to fartsack. No falls to report, unless Pigskin did his famous drop and roll. Go Commanders! ANNOUNCEMENTS The Bridge Jan 25 – See Fudd Breaking…
