Tag: Miles of Truth

4 SOJ gentlemen met for some miles this morning. Homegrown Half is fast approaching so time for some hill work. Warm up with a mosey down 60 to coalfield to woolridge. Meet at the bottom of Mt Midlo for the thang.

75 seconds up the hill at 90% effort to find your turn around point. Run back down at regular pace. Then 5 more times to your turn around point. No break at the bottom. Keep the heart rate up.

mosey around the pond and back around Woolridge to 60 and BTTF.

We ran late so missed COT.

YHC was late this morning. Thankfully PAX had not left yet. Strong work today by all!

And it was humid so it sucked.

But the fellowship was good, so boomdigitykazam.

This run sucks.

5.49 miles just under 8:20 minute pace. Boberry, Tobit and Doozy pushing the pace (getting closer to 8:10 min/mile).

Draper and Ryan (coworker from NY) later named “Pitstop” were putting in strong work too.

Hill by the train tracks smoked me again, but I was able to keep pushing along and arrive back to flag 30 seconds before COT (roughly 8:20 min/mile pace).

Thanks to all the guys pushing it today and helping to make me stronger.

If you are looking for a challenging run, join us next time.

4 Runners out for a slow easy run

Lets do the fish bowl, then put in a lap around Mines lake, and add a lap around Midlo middle school track oh and for good measure one more time up Mount Midlo.

Numbers / Names

NMS: YHC didn’t write the BB because as the title says he forgot he was the Q, senility is setting in.

3 runners met up with 1 boot-camper at 5:30 we went our separate ways and according to the power walkers this is what happened to the runners.

After the initial cracks and pops of ligaments, tendons and joints a steady pace was settled into. The route was Left on Coalfield, Right on Woolridge, Left on Charter Colony turn back when you feel its time.

BTTF Numbers / Names DD took us out

NMS: MOT has so many great options this route is one of my favorites but it does have more uphill on the way back than on the way out. YHC didn’t quite make it to Timberwolf today but still got almost 6 miles on the books.

9 fleet footed gentlemen may or may not have followed YHC’s direction of a fartlek style run through Midlothian. Goal was to switch up the pace up and down throughout the route, some did just that, others hit their target pace throughout, and others searched the area for an open restroom – most completed 4-5 miles.

Route – Midlo to Mt Pisgah and down Westfield, loop around Gather and across the Kroger parking lot to Le Gordon and on to Midlothian HS. Loop around Charles A Ransom Way for post-memorial day remembrance (Air Force Major, Midlothian HS alum, VMI alum, baseball teammate of Gumbo and YHC – killed in Afghanistan). Back down Charter Colony to the Turnpike and back to the flag. Bonus trip to the bottom of the parking lot and back up to finish out the time.

Announcements:

Saturday – come on out to RockNRoll, pick up a Summer Tour point, celebrate my 9th F3 manniversary, YHC will donate $9 to Team Brightside for each PAX in attendance

Saturday – Kindred Spirit Satellite – Whitesnake will be playing the hits with his band from 2-4pm

Sunday 6/2 – SOJ Deep South family cookout – Horner Park 3-6pm – bring a side dish and let Swoop or others know if you’re coming

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.

2. 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. $25 to OC to cover food etc. Convergence at 7am at Dogpile on Saturday, bring an FNG!

Greenbow took us out with prayers for PAX who need it.

NMM

YHC always thought bro code just meant going back for the six. Apparently that definition is different depending on which nano region you are in. Some might say the toughest hill available for MOT is not “bro code”. But we did it and crushed it! TCLAPS to all the PAX today for pushing through.
