  • Husky’s Lemonade Stand

    14 strong attended some, all, or part of the 2nd Annual Husky’s Lemonade Stand Roller Coaster/HDHH workout. The order of arrivals are in the order of the PAX list. Of course, Swirly was first!

    8 strong hit the hills of River Road Hills for a Roller Coaster one mile loop. Swirly, TYA, Rosie, Gomer Pyle and BT all got in 4 one mile loops. HoneyDo and EF Hutton got in 3. YHC got in 2 (easy on the bum ankle). Husky had cold, fresh lemonade and water at the end of YHC’s driveway in order to try to raise some money for a new fit bit so he can track his steps/miles! Husky thanks each and every one of you!

    After the loops, all moseyed back to Kuba Kuba Dos to meet Vinny, Chum Bucket, Gumbo, Handshake and Saab for drinks and feed. The large triangle table was full of noise!

    Much to discuss and many tacos to eat. The Retreat is a must-attend! YHC wants to know if there will be more beer consumed at BRR or at the Retreat? What is your guess?

    YHC hopes everyone had fun and SYITG!

  • PreBlast – Roller Coaster/HDHH 8/7/19 at Kuba Kuba Dos (5:30pm)

    PreBlast – Roller Coaster/HDHH 8/7/19 at Kuba Kuba Dos (5:30pm)

    The Wednesday August 7th Roller Coaster hill run will launch from Kuba Kuba Dos (Tuckahoe Shopping Center). We will meet in the parking lot and have a hard start at 5:30PM. We will then run a nearby loop with hills in The River Road Hills neighborhood and then retreat back to the restaurant for HDHH! If you cannot make the run, please join us at the restaurant. Runners should be back by 6:15PM or so. This will be good training for BRR 2019 (the running part and the beer drinking part afterwards.) Also, you can check off TWO SUMMER TOUR ITEMS from your SUMMER TOUR list, one of which is EXTRA CREDIT! There are several tSummer Tour participants that need these AO’s to complete the tour. This will be the last “Kubota sponsored” HDHH this Summer. See ya there!

    ps: there will be a lemonade stand at 105 Ralston Rd so have some change with you the help my 2.0 Husky out! He thanks you in advance!

  • Death, Taxes and Lockjaw at a HDHH

    There are some things in F3RVA life that are certain: Lab Rat’s mumble chatter, Big Blue parked early in the gloom and Saab complaining about running routes. But the most certain thing is that if there is an HDHH scheduled in RVA, Lockjaw will be there! He cut his California work trip short so he could fly back on a red-eye and make tonight’s HDHH at Palani Drive. Well done!

    9 strong posted for the Wednesday Hill Run. Swirly, Shakedown, Gomer Pyle and TYA started at 5:30pm and got 3+ miles in before meeting up with HoneyDo, Corned Beef, Hash, Doozy and YHC. We all then proceeded to the Hills Tempsford/Kennondale for hill repeats. Hash took off like a rocket and never looked back. Oh, to be 17 again! YHC admits that he was feeling good tonight and did a lot better than last time we ran these hills. Maybe it was the fact that BRR is coming up and the adrenaline was pumping a little more than usual. More than likely, it was the cooler temps.

    Early group got in 7+ miles. Regular group got in 4+ miles.

    Vinny, Lockjaw and EF Hutton and 2.0’s joined us for food and drinks. EF Hutton hauled tail back from a day at King’s Dominion so he could join us. Nice! You cannot call the Rebel Yell Roller Coaster “Rebel Yell” anymore. Just “Yell”

    Enjoyed it all and SYITG!

  • Hot/Humid Roller Coaster/HDHH

    11 strong hit the hot, mean streets of Libbie and Grove and one more joined for HDHH on this hot and humid edition of Wednesday Hill Run/HDHH.

    The Route:

    Granite to Cary to the hills Kennondale / Tempsford. Run the pair of hills as many times as you can in the allotted time of 33 minutes. 5 minutes to get to the hills and 7 minutes to get back. 45 minutes total.

    Everyone got in at least 2 rounds of the hills. Special T-Claps to Rosie for getting in 3.25 rounds and Saab for getting in 3.5 rounds.

    BTTF

    Numberama, Namearama and YHC took us out!

    NMS:

    WOW that was tough and hot!! Special shout out to the guys who posted this morning at WDOG and then turned around and did this! Well Done! The rainstorm that came through an hour beforehand did not cool things down at all. It probably made conditions worse. Back at Palani Drive, beverages were had and Chum Bucket joined us for said beverages. Great turnout tonight and great conversation. Come on out to the Wednesday Hill Run this summer so you can get in BRR shape.

    Also, T-claps to Rosie for driving from Roanoke straight to the Hill Run with 2 minutes to spare. Nice timing!

    SYITG!

  • PreBlast – Roller Coaster/HDHH JUNE 19TH @6PM! (note time change)

    PreBlast – Roller Coaster/HDHH JUNE 19TH @6PM! (note time change)

    The Wednesday June 19th Roller Coaster hill run will launch from the parking lot behind Palani Drive (401 Libbie Avenue). We will meet in the parking lot and have a hard start at 6PM. We will then run up and down some nearby hills and then retreat back to Palani Drive for HDHH! If you cannot make the run, please join us at the restaurant. Runners should be back by 6:45PM or so. There is outdoor seating at Palani Drive, which will be key for those that do not smell the best after a run. This will be good training for BRR 2019 (the running part and the beer drinking part afterwards.) Also, you can check off TWO SUMMER TOUR ITEMS from your SUMMER TOUR list, one of which is EXTRA CREDIT! See ya there!

  • Florence Griffith Salvucci

    YHC thought that it was just going to be he and TYA for the Roller Coaster run this evening, but as YHC pulled into the parking lot behind Palani Drive, he was happy to see Posh already parked and ready to go. Not far behind, Ronnie showed up ready to go and then, the man himself, TYA pulled in and met us at the corner ready to start, except, his running shorts were on inside-out. Now, if you don’t already know, TYA has some challenges with running attire. Well, this attire looked like Florence Griffith Joyner with her underwear outside of her running shorts. After realizing his mistake, TYA hid behind the bushes and made things right.

    The route was Palani Drive to Granite south to Cary St. Crossover carefully and proceed to the hills Tempsford and Kennondale. Only this time it was going to be Kennondale only. Continuing the interval theme from Splinter and Spider Run yesterday, YHC called out intervals up Kennondale after we got to the bottom of the hill. Two minutes up as hard as you can and three minutes down to recover. Five repeats were had and then we proceeded back to Palani Drive. YHC saw a Kennondale local and thought he knew her from college, but it turned out to be someone else. Kinda embarrassing.

    Back at Palani Drive, the four runners met up with Handshake, Lockjaw and Vinny who had secured the big table on the patio. YHC is proud to announce that Lockjaw still has 100% attendance for F3RVA HDHH’s! Well done, LJ!

    Some of the topics discussed during HDHH were as follows:

    -Saab

    -William and Mary stuff

    -BRR

    -Kayaking the James

    -Summer Tour

    -Lab Rat’s devil horns

    -Saab

    Great time tonight and we will do this again soon!

    Please keep Swirly and his M in your prayers and be ready to help them out with whatever they need. We are here for you, brother!

  • Hill Repeats and Pilsner Repeats

    Some ran, Some ate, Some drank, Some ran and ate and drank.

    The Route: Palani Drive parking lot to Granite Ave south to Cary Street. Crossover to Tempsford/Kennondale. Complete as many hill repeats as you like. Mosey back to Palani Drive.

    Apologies to Upchuck. He didn’t realize we were meeting behind the restaurant and didn’t see us when we took off. He ran his own route, though. Chum Bucket hit the trails and then met us for HDHH. He is training for a 50k with Johnsonville that will happen at the end of April. EF Hutton, Greenbow and his new 2.0 joined us for HDHH. Good times!

    We may try to do this again in May and June and July….stay tuned! Good BRR training.

    Enjoyed it fellas!

    Saab Q tomorrow at 45MOM and DTH Q at the new AO The Forge tomorrow.
