Midlothian Middle

  • Frozen Figure 8

    6 runners took to the streets to find a few flurries, a couple small patches of ice, and some miles around Midlo. Route Midlo to Woolridge – 4 miles left on Coalfield left into the Grove – Mt. Midlo back to the flag with some extra credit around the school; 5 miles down to Charter Colony, left up Manders, through the Grove, left on Woolridge and right back home down Coalfield. Solid route with some hills – Woolridge 2x and Manders (or Mt. Midlo) made for some difficult work on the morning.

    Great to see Lugnut back out for some runs, and some solid chatter at Starbucks watching the snow come in.

    See Slack for coming info on the next CSAUP – The Century – the date is the first decision to be made and then more to come after that.

    Prayers for Draper’s friend going through a tough time and for Draper on setting boundaries for helping him out.

  • We found another hill!

    Wednesdays edition of Miles Of Truth had a pretty straightforward route this go around. Out to Salisbury , all the way til it ends then left on Castlebridge, left on Elmestead, Left on Westfield , then Mt Pigsah and back to the school. Pick your poison with a lap on the track or a lap around the school. If you took a lap arounnd the track you found the bonus hill! We took it brocode style with varying speeds. Great to catch up with House Party today!

  • Chill Vibes

    5 fellas braved the chilly temps to get in a few miles. Bro-code was on the books as the plan for today. It didn’t quite work out that way. As 5:30 approached the route was given and adjusted, Doozy let us know he was getting more miles and would meet us at the end. We set off on a 4mi route with the plan for the rabbits to come back for the 6 at each intersection. Somehow the PAX all ended up at the same pace once Doozy veered off into points unknown. We ran together, just fast enough to keep warm! Good to catch up with everyone. Numbers names announcements prayers and YHC took us out.
    prayers for PAX that are having issues keeping them from coming out into the gloom. Reach out to that Kotter! Announcement is the Frozen Triangle on February 8th. Meet at 6am at Dogpile. Run or ruck about 9-10 miles. If you run there will be boot camps each three miles or so. Bring your shovel flag. Refreshments and support will be traveling along. Reach out to Heist if you want to help. Reach out to Try Hard if you plan to Ruck. Have a great day yall!

  • Feel the Rhythm Feel the Rhyme!

    Get on up it’s running time!

    Two of the fastest runners on the road this morning climbed out of the sack and made a run through Salisbury. It was cold, there was ice, but it was all good. Stay safe out there my friends!

  • The Last Non-Holiday MOT of the Year!

    Warm weather brought the runners but nay a route in sight. Nothing to fret, YHC and Doozy scrambled something together that gave everyone a good workout.

    We headed down Mt Midlo, beside the pond, and into the Midlo Mines Park to get our first mile in. We followed the trails into The Grove and left the neighborhood up the big hill that dropped us on Coalfield Rd.

    After that, every man for himself back to the flag. We all got somewhere between 4 & 5 miles, then called it a day with the Numberama, Namerama & Share+Prayer to close us out.

  • Rain Run

    Out Coalfield for 22 mins and back.

  • Last Week

    I’ve already forgotten the route and who attended – there were four of us. If you were one of them, let me know. #BigData

  • The Route

    It was too cold to explain a complicated route so we went with the next best thing, absolute chaos.

    Midlo Turnpike to Salisbury Drive to Westfield to Winterfield to LeGordon to Charter Colony to North Woolridge to Midlo Turnpike and back to Midlo Middle. That makes a 4 mile route. The 5 milers added the Mt. Pisgah loop.

  • Choose Your Own Adventure

    4 usual suspects arrived to the former SOT now known solely as MOT. No Q on the sheet and so the 4s decided their fate as well as the 5/6 milers. Off into Salisbury we went, return at 6:15.

  • 3×3

    3 routes with 3 PAX for each, a perfect split on a brisk morning. 4 milers found the path from Queensgate into the Grove and may have opened up a whole new world. 5 milers made their own way guided by Draper. No 6 milers but the big Walton Park-Coalfield loop was 5.5. Tapering achieved by some and Doozy broke in some new kicks for this weekend’s half. Welcome back Greenbow, OTB and MOT this week. Good to see you back out.

    Good luck to those doing the half marathon and other races this weekend.
