Midlothian Middle
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
The three regulars posted for a soupy ‘run’ through Salisbury to Winterfield and back for 4ish miles. -Singer
3 rebels launched into a 4 mile run while YHC +1 did some track work It was cool but muggy, but we goter done
With different runner in different spaces of training and speed, YHC opted to Q a bro code style run. Goal to be fast or slow depending on your plan for the day. With the speedsters coming back for the 6, on the four mile route laid forth. Down 60, left on mt pisgah, continue onto Westfield, left on Winterfield, continue on to LeGordon, continue onto Charter Colony, left on Woolridge, left to go up mt Midlo and left into the parking lot. (Zoolander would have had a hard time with this route). Doozy sped ahead but kept coming back, Don…
Did MOT move? Worse yet, cancelled? Hopefully not but as YHC returned from vacation to a desolate start, the darker thoughts emerged. Off we go….Salisbury for some tree cover from the light rain. 4 miles and done. -Singer
Three decades of HIMs showed up for a swampy beatdown on the track. The thang: – 200 warmup of Cadence drills and sprinters- 20x100s (run the straight, walk the curves) @ 20-25 seconds each- 400 @ race pace (6-7min mile) Then a slow walk back to the flagDoozy did a slow 6-8 so we didn’t see him after the warmup. Finkle came out for the first time in a year, but forgot his F3 name so YHC was able to track it down with much support from fuzzy memory, Big data, & our glorious backblasts. Welcome back Finkle! Homegrown Half…
