Midlothian Middle
Five men. Two plans.
Group 1 – Bullseye and Wedding Singer – a solid 4 mile jog through the rough streets of Midlothian.
Group 2 – Rosetta, Rosie and Heist. 1 mile jog to Midlothian HS track. Three 1/2 mile loops (1/4 mile recovery jog between) of fast pace (Rosie and I were around 7:30 ish). Rosetta likely sub 7. 1 mile jog back.
Good times!
9/11 Ruck at Alamo 8:00 pm this Friday.
Continued prayers for Wildcat and Speakeasy.
Keeping with this week’s theme of Soup titled BBs, Don Draper had a pace plan teed up from his training plan and the other 3 of us were just along for the ride. Only question was where to go – start down Midlo to Woolridge, why not add Grove Hill into the middle of a tempo mile? That was a tough 4+ miles in the excessive humidity.
Convergence Monday – 7am at Batteau
Prayers for Speakeasy – see CB’s post on the latest
Check out the new Big Data if you haven’t already – Splinter has given it a A+ upgrade but why would we expect anything less at this point
Who needs to change socks in the morning? Not Rosetta. Draper led us on a speed work adventure to the Trojan Track with laps of varying paces, distances, and rest. It was a tough one in the humidity but everyone got their work in with some good pace targeting.
Rare BB for MOT but if we’re going to work that hard we should get credit for it somewhere.
Prayers for Speakeasy – check out Corned Beef’s post for MealTrain and/or donations.
This morning greeted MOT with an orange-ish full moon at the beginning only to be eclipsed (see what I did there) by an large, orange sun at the end. Great day for a stop on the tour.
Routes – into Salisbury, 4s went Castle Bridge to Elmstead, 5s went Oakengate. Back around Winterfield and Westfield back to school. Lap around school.
YHC heard MOT was selected as the stop on the tour this week and felt we should at least have a Q and a route. The regulars were greeted by Gumbo as the sole tourist this day. The pax met up on on Westfield and finished the run together.
Homegrown half (10K or 5K) Saturday at 6:00 (or perhaps 7:00 for the 5K). Robious Landing Park.

Wanting to shake things up a bit, YHC threw out an option of 5.5 miles for MOT. Boberry jumped right in and Heist put out the invite to Airwolf who joined in to help set the pace.
4-milers did their thing, a few joined in for the first 3 miles and broke off to cool down for the last 2 while Boberry and Airwolf dragged YHC along for the extra 0.5.
Good push, needed by some, enjoyed by all. Looking forward to doing it again soon. Maybe one day we’ll catch up on BBs for MOT.
Prayers for many – Hermie, Wildcat, Flatline, NTB. Be someone’s positive light today.
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!
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.

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.
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!
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.
