5 speed walkers gathered at MOT to see if Heist really would wear his Magic Mike outfit. 5:30 No Heist, No Magic Mile. The route was Waldon Park to Queens Gate through the trail to The Grove up the hill now call “Sonna Bitch” onto Charter Colony BTTF Numbers / Names and OC took us out NMS: YHC did intervals on Tuesday and had already planned to do a longer run for Wednesday so the mumble chatter of the Magic Mile was not something I was looking forward to and Heist in a Magic Mike scenario just made it worse.

8 MOTers + an SOT castaway hit the mean streets of midlothian today. I had several preplanned routes, which offered a route/pace for all. We ended up splitting into two groups for 4 miles and 5ish respectively. https://onthegomap.com/s/g57aigg6 11:15 min/mile (4 miles total) Bullseye, Heist, Warby, and Wedding Singer https://onthegomap.com/s/tj5i7p92 9:15 min mile (4.9 miles total) Don Draper, NTB, Swoop, Sable, and Tobit Shout out to NTB, Sable, and Warby for posting their first MOT. Announcements Let’s smash some Bermuda records next Tuesday. Keep pushing the Team Brightside fundraiser. We are rocking. I took us out in prayer.

Taper week for GTE 47, so YHC decided a nice bro code style run was in order for the day. 5:30am hit and the wide receivers split off from the linemen and we were off. Route as folllows: left onto 60, left at charter colony, left onto woolridge, left back on to Midlo tpke. We were so quick we had time to go down and back up mt. Midlo. Bro code style so went back for the six at each turn. numbers names announcements: All are welcome and encouraged to attend the Friday rally! 6pm at Bon Air Community Center.…

It’s really a simple route, you can’t get lost because it’s an out and back. Wrong The route was supposed to be Midlo to Charter Colony to the turn around at Timberwolf or 22.5 minutes whichever comes first. YHC made an early turn at Coalfield instead, the happy accident was that Coalfield provides a sidewalk where Charter Colony makes you battle vehicles for the first .5 miles before connecting to a sidewalk. The PAX did connect back to Coalfield via 688, everyone turned around at the 22.5 minute mark. YHC ended up with 5 miles total NMS: Good morning getting…

Three buds joined me on a fairly bread and butter MOT run today. Down Woolridge, right on charter colony, back on Midlo and some exploring north of 60 then BTTF. One lap around the track for good measure. Numbers/Names. Pray for the stomach bug victims. Props to Lurch for posting again. He might bring an FNG to Satan’s Hill Friday…and like that the deep south Pax continues to grow. Coffeteria: Excellent conversation with the guys. Got to see a video of Ponch jumping in a frozen Lake. Kicked around the idea of an F3 ball late this year. Get the…

YHC was the lone runner that came out of the Gloom at MOT this morning, SOT guys went one way and YHC went the other. To the circle at Timberwolf and back (Garmin says 7 miles)

Solo runner at MOT this morning and feeling uninspired YHC decided to run the same route as last week. Walton Park to Queensgate to Coalfield and BTTF The hills in the middle of this route are brutal

4 Long distance runners gathered in the Gloom to find out if YHC’s route was really 5 or was it actually 6 miles? Leave the Midlo Middle parking lot to the right, to Waldon Pond Rd, Right on Queensgate over the rollercoaster, right on Coalfield, Right on Midlo, BTTF. Numbers / Names OC took us out NMS: Rosie and YHC ran that route a few weeks ago and YHC thought it was a just under 5 mile route???? Oops, my bad. YHC turned around at the coalfield circle (around mile 4) and told Cookie only one more mile but at…

4 PAX with varying degrees of intention to run met at Midlo middle today. 5:30 hit, some discussion of running route/plan and then we were off. Plan was to do some intervals with one minute faster, two minutes slower. Got in a little over 4 miles today and everyone pushed and got in a good run this morning! nmm great to run with yall this morning. Good to do something a little different. I haven’t been posting that much lately and it felt great to get after it a bit today. I like that doing intervals lends itself to picking…
