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

As the A-Team captain Hannibal always said, I love it when a plan comes together.  The plan came together for all but those following YHC.  Doh!  We’ll try again in two months.  YHC dares SOJ to send someone other than Doozy to Q next Friday.  Triple dog dare.  Go Commanders!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• The Bridge Jan 25 – See Fudd
• Breaking Bread – ongoing
• Prayers for Fireman Ed beginning treatment
• Prayers for Gomer’s team heading to Honduras this week

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

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 Bread – ongoing
• Prayers for Fireman Ed beginning treatment
• Prayers for water

With no hate, seven gloom warriors hit the mean streets to lay down some miles.  Here’s where:

The Route

• R on Pump
• L on Sunrise
• L on Waterford
• L on Church
• R on Pump
• R on John Rolfe (or take Pump back)
• L on Glen Eagles
• L on Old Prescott
• Back to SF

Not wanting to run out and back on Pump, YHC grabbed the Q and only called the out part.  With Mr. Rogers rudely not inviting anyone to Hawaii and Lulu in the clink, no furry friends accompanied us today.  Route was not a new one, but maybe new to some.  UpChuck has visited Curahee 3 of 4 weeks.  He seems smitten.  Or maybe Dunkin has better coffee, despite the lack of proper app functionality.

• Breaking Bread – ongoing

This being the last Friday of the month, we ran the usual Bro Code route (Pump to Church to Copperas to Ridgefield to Old Prescott and back to the start). For the record, Pigskin led for the first 30 yards. We were also accompanied by Wally and Lulu.

 

Afterwards, we finished up at Dunkin for some 2^nd F.

Seven men and two canines set out to find one new street in WestHoe.  Results: Negative?

Here’s where:

• L on Pump
• L on Sancrest
• R on Windingridge to the end
• Reverso on Windingridge to Hickoryridge
• Cross Falconbridge onto Cedar Chase
• L on Buttonwood
• R on Falconbridge
• L on Raintree
• L on Ridgefield
• L on Pump
• Finish around Godwin
• Back to SF

MOLESKIN

The run started with a discussion of obscure rules in football.  Whitesnickerdoodle is just glad we won.  As we reverso’d on Windingridge we passed the house of one of Mr. Rogers’s stepson’s old girlfriends.  He told a story of an unauthorized closed door and the subsequent walk of shame.  Ask him about it, I’m sure he’s happy to re-tell it.  At coffee, UpChuck namedropped the wrong name, but the moral of the story was the Beatles may not be the Beatles.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Pigskin raising money for medical mission
• Lifting up all the PAX and relatives with medical issues
• Big day at DogPile tomorrow – come to find out

10 men joined together at Currahee on a cool fall morning to take on the streets of West end. The conversations were excellent, the dogs were amazing, and route was just far enough. Mobile COT as always. You have to show to know.

SYITG!!

I posted a route last night and then mumbled it to a few others before we ran. Then I short circuited and led a few of us down a wrong turn that worked out in the end. Others did the route correctly or walked their own route.

I’m so stupid

Pax: Stupid-foolish, gullible, doltish, dumbbell, lamebrain…

Shut up!

Pax: Shut up – silence, hush, sit on it, can it…

With excitement like this, who is needing enemas?

(And scene).

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.

Prayer Requests – Roger Rogers M, Fudd’s sister, Gypsy, Piglet is having another baby, due April 2025

NMS – good morning today, cooler, YHC felt like he had working lungs. Thanks for the push to Q, Gypsy

Six men went in search of every pothole and open manhole in WestHoe.

Here’s where:

• R on Pump
• R on Ridgefield
• L into Deep Run Park (road)
• Merge onto trail just past the DR Rec Center
• Exit park onto Cottrell Rd
• L on Cedar Knoll
• L on Cox after circling the tip
• R on Brookmont
• L on Pump
• Circle Godwin for time
• Back to VSF

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.
