Two freedom loving warriors made a choice without force or coercion to greet the dawn of a new day. The internal calling to improve oneself was so great no incentive, lottery or external prize was needed. According to the Amelia County Historical Society, it went a little something like this. Start at the courthouse and mosey around downtown to the public soccer field. This soccer field was to No Toll as road kill is to filet minon. COP SSH, IW, DQ, WWII, FB, Merkin X 20 Country Mile: Follow the approximately 1/2 mile loop and complete one burpee at each…

3 suburban warriors showed for the 5:15 WaThoHuk (Or as I prefer, WTH!) pre-run of 1.7 miles. West on Three Chopt, North on John Rolfe. East into West Broad Village (WBV), round the lake and reverse route back to the flag. We picked up another 4 passengers, for a total of 7 brave souls, and departed into the gloom. The Thang: Quick warm up waiting for Don Draper: SSH x10; Merkin x15; LBC x25 Mr. Draper, as it turns out, drove all the way to Short Pump, but realized when exiting 288 he had FORGOTTEN HIS SHOES. ?

Nice run on a cool morning. Gypsy and I set out to explore more wed morning run options. Route below.
2 Richmond pax met up on a cool morning for a nice Easy run. 4 miles total. NMS – seeking to recover a bit from IPC the pax decided an easy run was the way to go. Little vehicle traffic but we found the start of a large running training team and also a kettlebell workout. Somewhere out here is where we need another AO. Discussion on avoiding false gods and reminders to model personal responsibility; refrain from blaming others. Take action that impacts others positively. Get some.
We are looking for a mid week run west of Gaskins so Gypsy and I did a little recon around the AO. 6 miles starting at Three Chopt / Church Run, then along West Broad village and Pocahontas, around the Wellesley Lake and return. It was a good run – we are thinking that the expansion location might need to be further west. Get some!
A few of us have been talking about a run Wednesdays in the West end. It would fit in nicely between Heartbreak and Circus Maximus or Mary on Thursday. Today YHC tried a 6mile run that starts at Pocahontas. Three Chopt, Church, Westek Dragana, DRP, Turtle Creek, Pump, JRP, Three Chopt.
