6 PAX from various sections of SOJ assembled in the gloom to get in a few miles on Wednesday. No 4s and no 6s today so a 4.8 mile route turned out to be just right. Great to run with everyone!

Ye Old Out-N-Back
Three joined, one stayed for a solo bootcamp, the other two ran.
Out and back – 2 miles out Coalfield and back.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Just kidding, it was a good run.

Working off the Rust
2 Midlo residents left the bootcampers to do their own thing with Dumar and went out in an unplanned tour of the thawed streets of Midlothian. Both Draper and I were working off the rust of minor tweaks and the avoidance of icy streets. Easy pace, solid conversation, 4.5+ miles later and we’re back on track.
Frozen Triangle: This Saturday 6am at Dogpile – come for Bodo’s 10-year F3 Manniversary to kick it off and stay for the extra miles and the fellowship. Gumbo and Gypsy on the Q for the other Boot Camps.

The Spackle Master
As the ice of snowmageddon was reaching a melting point of runability…. 3 warriors of the gloom met to hit the streets of Midlo. 4 miles were achieved, no one fell, and we even got in a few hills. Topics of conversation were concerned mostly with the joys of homeownership. Frozen triangle rescheduled for the 21st. SYITG!

Tres Amigos Running
Bullseye, Rosie and YHC took off for the streets of Midlothian without a care or clue in the world. After a short jaunt up west on Midlo we opted for a giant loop – Charter Colony, Woolridge, Mount Midlo and home, for 4ish miles.
Late posting this one so that’s about all I can recall. We ran, we saw, we conquered.
Draper is allergic to us and working out at the moment.

Ice Road Runners
Thankfully no one fell off the road on this morning’s episode of Ice Road Runners.
Bullseye and YHC conversed in the evening, felt starting from the AO would be fine, and knew we’d provide Doozy with some company before and after the workout.
Due to the icy conditions and secondary roads not being plowed, not even Coalfield and Charter Colony, we took off east on Midlothian and quickly located Old Buckingham which was safe to run on and then found a unicorn in Unison Drive, salted and clear as a summer day with no traffic. Out two, back two, solid 4 miles.
Coffee at Starbucks with the SOT gents was welcomed by all.

The Three Stooges
Guess I’ll write this backblast, hopefully Draper doesn’t as well.
A non-Salisbury route was selected to change things up, Bullseye recommended the mines and YHC offered up an old Off the Books route down Coalfield, Draper helped on the finer details. Down Coalfield, dropped into The Grove over to the cut through to Midlothian Mines, around the lake and up Mount Midlo home. Total a little over 4 miles.
Good conversation was had. Three Stooges title, which I’m sure has been used before, came as car stopped to enter a parking lot, waiting for us to cross, and we couldn’t have handled much worse trying to avoid a collision with the car and ourselves. It was comical.

One last one
2025 clean up, I’m sure I missed other backblasts, but glad I remembered this. Now, if I could only remember where we ran…

A long long time ago
This one time, Rosetta came to MOT and it was so surprising, I forgot to post a backlist. Now I did.

Hills! (and not hills)
Two of us ran hills. Two of us did not. We all got at least 4 miles. It was fun.
