Midlothian Middle

After hours and hours of mapping alternative routes, YHC came up with 2 solid options for 4 and 5 miles from Midlo Middle. Of the 5 that launched, only 1 stuck to their original plan. The 5 milers got caught up in conversation and an easy pace and cut the route short to catch Singer and Bullseye. When we did, Bullseye pulled a reverso and headed back to shorten the route a bit. No worries, miles were run, stories were told, problems were solved, solutions were forgotten. Give it away this week. You will undoubtedly see friends and neighbors at…

Good thing I had Rosie and Bullseye with me today or I would have been lost. Revisiting google maps, the route went something like this: Down Mount Midlo, around the lake (called Loch Lothian?! Great name by the way), out Midlo Mines Park to Kingham Drive. Left on Grove Hill up to Coalfield, left then right on Manders Dr. Right on Charter Colony, right on Charter, right on Woolridge, left on Coalfield and back to start. 4.5ish miles according to the route but watches were defunct for various reasons. Nice run today fellas, appreciated the conversation and pace. -Singer

Wanted to start by paying respect to YHC’s fantasy football team, which was unceremoniously eliminated from the F3 Guillotine League this week. Until next year! Now onto the workout at hand……………5 of us gathered at Midlothian Middle School for the latest edition of Miles of Truth. Could not have asked for better running weather! My instructions were incredibly concise. We started out on Mt. Pisgah road and made our way onto Coalfield Road to the YMCA. The route took us down the hill to Midlothian Mines Park. One loop on the trail, then back up the hill to Midlo Tnpk,…

Guess who went to a S of the James F3 sanctioned run? Yep, Bullseye and YHC. No one to report back to, a longer route was opted during the exercise to nearly 5 miles through Salisbury and out Winterfield. Good to get a little extra credit. -Singer

7 gentlemen, including 2 that have not posted in a while, showed up in the mist to generally run in the direction the Q called. Quick instructions to get the most out of the hills for 4 or 5 milers. 4s go straight down Mt. Midlo into the Grove and up to Coalfield, loop back around the median and repeat the hill then return to the start. 5s start around on Midlo to Woolridge then to the Grove and do the same hill repeat, add as many Mt. Midlo repeats as time allows (is was 3). Great to have Rosetta…

Excellent running weather this morning! YHC’s incredibly detailed route required the PAX to find a paved trail near the pond. This takes you up to the YMCA parking lot. Don Draper and I circled the soccer field, then made our way back to Midlothian Middle – a lap around the school and track finished things off. Bullseye/Singer reportedly asked for directions at one point…………But at 6:15 everyone was accounted for! Had a great time this morning – it has been awhile since I posted at MOT, or run for that matter. Appreciate the wise words from Draper on a variety…

5:30 AM, lace up the running shoe straps and off YHC went into the gloom. Winterfield -> Salisbury route and around the school for 3.75 miles. Passed a good number of people out this morning through the mist but no signs of F3 garb. Maybe the Homegrown Half wore em down. -Singer

Three heard the sounds of, could that be, rain? As they emerged from the gloom to log a few miles. All participated in the logistics, slightly modified version of the Walton Park -> Grove loop. 4ish miles depending on gastro conditions (YHC). Great chatter mi amigos. We all learned our paths have crossed with a particular housing developer in our industry and shared stories. YHC found that comical, hence the title. The college age children will be disappearing into the distance soon as they return to their academics. Enjoy the time. -Singer
