The breezes of the impending Mid-May storms blew OLD GLORY north of the river this am and 6 faithful RVA PAX went straight to work.  This is how it went down: OYO, as fast as each PAX member can run a mile.  Start at the shovel flag LabRat planted at the front of the parking lot, exit parking lot to main road through Atlee to the gate past the pond behind middle school, circle back to the second shovel flag planted by YHC at the 1.0+ mile mark.  Gather when all PAX reaches second flag, mosey with OLD GLORY to…

Something happened, we don’t know what.

The kite weather brought out 2 shovel flags and 5 strong men of a certain age to DaVille.  While YHC is sure that it rained at No Toll this morning, the showers held off on the North Side.  Abacus brought it in on 2 wheels at 5:30 (and change), barely got the car shut off and hit the ground running (literally), so the rest of the pax fell in line: Morning jog over to middle school COP X20 IC SSH X20 IC  Skip jacks (?) X20 IC DQ X10 IC little arm circles, X5 IC big arm circles.  Reverso X30…
