Tag: Miles of Truth

Not enough guys for Draper to pull out a Magic Mile so the group opted for a loop into Salisbury with modifications on the fly – Bullseye opted to run in the dark down the gravel road. Good conversation made the pace pick up through the middle miles.

4 early risers launched at 5:10 for a couple easy pre-game extra miles to stay on track with Half training, then we swung back by the launch site to pick up 3 more runners for the main attraction – 5 miles through the Mines trails UP Queensgate and DOWN Manders. Turns out it sucks a little bit either way you go.

Boberry took a spill in the road under construction but kept on trucking, and he, Rosie, and Rosetta turned on the burners in Queensgate. Heist held on for a mile or so. Honeymoon and YHC kept the reasonable pace. Bullseye peeled off after the mines trail but resurfaced Midlo Middle. Well done.

All in all, a great start to this Hump Day. thanks guys.

No More Gumbo For You!

6 runners left the boot campers behind for a warm up but looped back to share the track with them.

Warm up mile together around AmFam and the new development and to the track. 800 repeats x4 ,then one last mile because, why not?

Good conversation on the track. Thanks for letting me lead and putting up with my decision to run laps today.

Lunch Thursday at Rusty Taco, chime in if a better day of the week works for future SOJ lunches.

2 mile loop x 2.something

mile wu with all pax, 3 miles of tempo followed by a mile CD to bring the group all back together. stretching and done.

Joined up with SOT for circle stuff….

A combo meal of 13 runners and walkers (and one canine) jetted off in the gloom this morning for an ambitious (maybe just plain stupid) route through Salisbury.

Combination of the humidity and pace made this one tough for me. Thanks to the three rabbits (Boberry, Rosetta and Tobit) for keeping the pace. Thanks to our sheepdog Doozy for checking on the six and his encouraging words.

Splintervals we’re on the agenda but YHCs headlamp was on the fritz so we kept it easy with the roller coaster route + abs. 

• Salisbury Drive to Oak Lane to my Pisgah Drive + 50 WW2s
• Frogger across Rte 60
• Grove Hill Road down Mt. Midlo all the way to Coalfield Road + 50 WW2s 
• Reverso back down Grove Hill Road + 50 WW2s at the top of Mt Midlo 

Circle back for the six and then head to Numberama, Nameroma & COT with the SOT folks. 

7 runners launched from Midlo middle, fought the traffic and logged some miles. Doozy shot out of the cannon and by the time he turned back the group had turned off but he found Greenbow and they made their way back. Bullseye lurked behind the group and had a soft re-entry after some time away.

Heist, Airwolf, Honeymoon and YHC slayed 5.16 miles through Charter Colony and Otterdale and back along Westfield with Heist and Airwolf pushing the pace.

Great job gents! No More Gumbo For You!

6 runners broke free from the fartsack and from the allure of 8-counts with DTH to pound some miles in preparation for this weekend’s CSAUP. We reversed the dirt road, said hi to Draper’s casa and sweat like crazy. And, we almost lost Doozy to the trance of a gazelle clipping along at a sub-9 pace, but we were able to break him free and keep him on course. Great job men.

No More Gumbo For You!

First MOT Q ever and I dressed like a construction worker. Even north of the river knows now because Gomer was there on the summer tour.

Got a little 4 mile run (https://onthegomap.com/s/hn0eddqp) and some hill work (up the grassy hill by the track).

Airwolf and Rosetta smoked me up the hill every time. Went up the hill and around the sidewalk about 6 times (did one track lap between the 5 and 6 hill).
