Tag: Currahee

On this nice and chilly post Thanksgiving day 4 regulars + Wally assembled at Godwin High School for another Bro-Code run. We opted for the typical bro-code route:

Right on Pump up to Church Rd. – back to last
Left on Church up to Copperas Ln. – back to last
Left on Ridgefield Pkwy. up to intersection with John Rolfe Pkwy. – back to last
Continue on Ridgefield to Glen Eagles Dr. – back to last
Right on Glen Eagles, left on Old Prescott Rd. and all the way back to Godwin.

Numbers, Names and Mr. Rogers took us out.
Great run, great company and 2nd F after at Dunkin’s.

Gypsy posted on Slack that a Q was needed for Currahee so Handshake volunteered. Route consisted of Left on Pump, Left on Faconbridge Right on Raintree, Left on Gayton/Quiocassin and run to QMS/Heartbreak Ridge and back. Doozy scared adult human person and they ran and dropped their water bottle. Doozy continued to scare the person as he chased them with the water bottle. Moral of the story is Doozy has a new water bottle.

Announcements – Rountrey Chili Cookoff on Sunday 11/24 at Rountrey Clubhouse from 3-6 pm. YHC and Mr. Roger’s are representing 80% of the geographic territory of F3RVA. Heist is going to The Bridge Saturday, 11/30. Upchuck is going to The Bridge Saturday, 12/14.

The PAX kept tight until we hit Brookmont then the Gazelles left the Clydesdales behind.  The Gazelles apparently discussed the constitution while the Clydesdales agreed Creed rules, Train sucks, and Blink-182 is meh.  Gypsy found a big pothole, Handshake nearly fell into a manhole that would have presumably transported him to China.  Heat, no elevation, and more running are believed to be the best treatment for a sprained ankle.  And the moment of the day came just before launch when Lighthouse dropped his American accent.  Sadly YHC missed it.

Lifting up all the PAX and relatives with medical issues

7 gathered on this warm Friday morning to run or walk off some calories. The pax moved at different paces based off condition or physical limitations. A few covered 4.4 miles and others made it 5.5 with Doozy at the lead picking up different members sprinting all over the route. As the appointed Q I picked the figure 9 route up Pump, left on pump at split right on theee Chopt and right on John Rolfe back to the flag. Afterwards we had coffee at Dunkin’s and discussed the harsh reality of getting old and the physical beat down hard younger lives can take a toll on the body long term. Whitesnake noticed Miley singing in background a doing about her woes of old age….in he late twenty. Ha ha just wait till she hits 50. Always good to have brothers together. There are many who are dealing with sickness and medical issues out there. Prayers for all struggling. Especially Fireman ed, Roger Rogers wife, Fudd’s sister, Gypsy’s step son and many other’s. Head up and faithful will hopefully make the burdens of life more tolerable.

The assigned route was a familiar one running through senior lot to Hickoryridge then left onto Falconbridge, left onto Raintree, right to Ridgefield, left onto Cox, left onto Brookmont, right on Pump and then up to John Rolfe to Glen Eagles and then back home on Old Prescott. 4.7 miles total for those who did the entire thing. Some never left and did workouts around the school, some went back after Brookmont and maybe did an extra lap around the school, and then there is Doozy.

He was not there when we started but we thought we passed him on Glen Eagles–we were not really sure. He was not there when we finished but his car was there so we knew he was around. And then he showed up during the COT. Credit to him for showing up when it sounds like he did not want to get out of bed and he pushed himself to come and do some walking.

Prayers for Tanner, Molly, Fireman Ed, Mary, Gaudi’s wife and all the family members and health care workers involved to bring comfort and good health.

Bro Code.  IYKYK.

Metal was the topic of the morning.  Mr. Rogers is going to head bang to The Four Horsemen all night in downtown Waynesboro.  Rumor has it they are better than the real thing.  Ukraine prefers Indie Rock.

The consensus is that running sucks, but we should just do it.  Especially when there are starving children in Africa who would love to be able to run.  Oh, and a demon dog stared us down from the woods along Falconbridge.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Prayers for Bodos helping in Asheville

Pretty quiet morning, just some ferocious canines and talk of AI sex dolls.  Whitesnake was so appreciative of the pre-nounced directions that he decided to run it virtually.

A rabbi and a priest went for a walk in the park, and strolled by a large lake. Suddenly the rabbi said: “Let’s go in and do some ‘baptism’, the water looks really clear!” “But we don’t have swimsuits” the priest told him. “So what?” replied the rabbi, “Let’s go into the water as God created us.” The priest thought for a moment and then agreed with him. They took off their clothes, laid them on a piece of grass at the edge of the lake and went in for a short dip. After a few minutes they left the lake and walked back towards the place where they had put the clothes. Suddenly the two noticed a small group of people staring right at them. Embarrassed, the priest tried to cover his shame with his hands. He looked to the side and discovered that the rabbi was covering his face with his hands. “What are you doing?!?” hissed the priest, “cover your privates!” “I don’t know how it goes in YOUR congregation.” Said the Rabbi, “but my people recognize me by my face!”

Seven us ran to the same lake and found a way back to the flag with our clothes on. Total of 4.9 miles was the long route. Blue Moon did the Pigskin Special, without Pigskin = laps around the school with merkins and dips each lap.

Half us met at Dunkin’ after.

We all know about lunch on Tuesday at Firehouse Subs in Innsbrook. And everyone can’t wait to see my band on 10/12 from 6-9PM at the Kindred Spirit Satellite near the Diamond.

I am still working on a catchphrase to close my backblasts. Maybe something from, “I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane! Everybody strap in! I’m about to open some fuckin’ windows.” or from Beavis: “Butt-head, this book kicks! There’s a talking snake, and a naked chick, and the this dude puts a leaf on his schlong.” I think the winner may be “Take your filthy hands off my asp”.

Even Bro Code needs a leader.  Someone has to present the brilliant idea of running it in reverse, or original style depending how long you’ve been around.

Here’s where we went:

• R on Pump
• L on Ridgefield
• R on Copperas
• R on Church
• R on Pump
• Back to VSF

Pigskin nearly took on a car, Pigskin would’ve won.  Unless of course Chuck Norris was behind the wheel, then it would’ve been a tie.  The lead pack talked about a Flesh Anchor among other things.  If you know, you know.  If you don’t know, ask your mom.
