Midlothian Middle

  • Five for 5

    As the SOT PAX led by NTB ran across the street to NTB, the MOT PAX headed off for a slightly familiar Don Draper curated 5+ mile route. It felt colder and darker than usual…even with the headlamps blazing. But it was nothing that a few miles and good company couldn’t cure. Great conversation as Doozy ran back and forth (unable to slow down long down enough to keep the pace of the rest of us).

    Be on the lookout for some upcoming CSAUPs and races including the Frozen Triangle in January, a Hardywood-spawned run/bike on the Cap Trail in March, Roanoke Half in April, and the Grow Ruck in May.

    Make it a good one! Peace!

  • Pick your Route

    3 runners gathered to dodge the rain drops or what seamed like it could pass for sleet.

    The route was SOT to Timberwolf and back – basically 3.5 miles one way. YHC’s Garman said 6.87 miles total

    Don Draper and Greenbow took a slight detour and put in 4 miles

    YHC didn’t make it back in time for the COT but got to talk with a few of the guys before heading off into the Gloom.

    NMS:

    It was cold and wet, embrace the suck

  • No good way to go

    10 runners started out excited that the route included going down Manders. Somehow it was lost that going down that hill also meant up Grove Hill and Honeymooon hill.

    Good pick up of speed through the middle mile to stretch out the legs. The half-marathon runners are ready for a couple rest days before heading downtown to the starting line. We’re all ready to go, the journey is the destination, the training has been fun now let’s log the time our watches expect us to finish, sit back, and enjoy.

    Starbucks afterwards was excellent. Next week YHC will have the Q on the Bootcamp side of this AO.

    Saturday 11/11 – Ruck with Food – 6 am at TwinTeam – see slack or OC for details

    Next Friday 11/17 – Ruckahoe canned food drive. See slack or Lockjaw for details

    A pleasure to lead this group of fine gentlemen through the streets of Midlo.

  • Running & Mumblechatter

    5 elite runners took to the pavement with an out&back route on Coalfield. With a easy and route, all energy went to planning the next great CSAUP.

    Option 1: Teams of 3 gather for a run & bike relay from Williamsburg to Richmond on the Capital Trail (50 miles)

    Option 2: Teams of 5 gather for a run & bike relay up Skyline Drive (120 miles)

    Option 3: Something similar but more stupid, like 500 miles stupid.

    We agreed to do them all, in order. So… who else is up for the challenge?

  • Take 2 – no humidity

    4 runners rocked a previously carved route through Salisbury.

    No humidity today. Much more pleasant than September when we did this before. Great push by all.

  • No Magic Mile

    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.

  • Down Manders – Is that possible?

    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!

  • One more mile

    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.

  • Tempoholics

    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….

  • That’s it? For 45 minutes?

    In a rare SOT/MOT crossover, 10 PAX met at the midlo middle school. IronPAX had come to the track! Time hit and we were off! The following was the routine:

    One lap around track

    5 BDE burpees

    one lap around the track

    5 BDE Merkins

    rinse and repeat for 45 minutes

    your score is how many meters you run. Most got about 3-4 miles in today!
    time called and we went back to the flag.
    numbers, names, announcements, YHC took us out.

    lots going on in F3RVA!

    Love for Liv on Sat!
