Starbucks – Winterfield Crossing

  • 2 Days Late but – OTB is back

    5 Gents and a dog hit the streets of Midlo on Sunday and crossed paths at a safe distance. Rosie is rumored to have hit 13 miles, Gumbo knocked out 10 plus, followed up by Hitchhiker and Honeymoons 7.5 miles. Duke got 4.5. Strong work gents, love seeing things getting back to normal slowly!

  • Never too old to learn…….Right?

    Just two old men walking and talking about stuff! Never too old to learn. We always learn something new on our walks.

    We got in just over 3 miles. What a beautiful morning! Have a great day!

  • When Aisle 5 gets on something………just jump on!

    Three men and a dog woke and tackled the day! YHC & Aisle 5 started up Satan’s Hill to meet Punxsutawney and Cloey to walk the cul de sack tour. No runner were present. Hope everyones livers are ok.

    Aisle 5 has a VERY specific desire when it comes to looking at a new home. Ranch style with a WALK OUT basement. Few weeks back he saw a lot in NM that might suit his desire. Apparently his M is ALL on board! Today’s conversations were primarilay around reviewing everyones home and if they had a walkout basement! Our apologies to NM residents for three old dudes pointing and likely talking too loud.

    He is for sure in love with making his M happy and is looking for a buyer for his house in Brandermill. The video is outside my playlist, but fits how Aisle 5 feels about making his M happy.

    Oh..approx. 4 miles were done!

    3 PAX took to the trail loop under weight. Proper distancing was observed by ruckers but not by everyone else on the trails. Great Mumblechatter and time this morning. Shakedown needs to take the time at home to start his book about his 20s – put me down for an advanced order.

  • Late BB for OTB

    4 Runners and 4 Extra legs got some good miles on Sunday.

    Boberry, Honeymoon, Recall and Annie the dog logged 6.5ish. YHC logged a little less than that!

    Strong work fellas.

  • Running into March

    Both Wilson and POG showed with FNGs, to be named at a later bootcamp.

    Run/Walk group got their strong 4 miles.

    Fast group blazed a 6 plus effort today, as did the not so fast group coming in a few minutes behind. Strong work by all and great to see the high numbers on a Sunday morning. Great start to the month of March!!

    Spread some love today folks!

  • Coming in Hot for a Cold Morning!

    5:58 Was upon us and Honeymoon came in to the lot smoking the tires to get there before 6! The PAX was more concerned about Annie the dog puking in his backseat rather than Honeymoon being on time. Either way, 6am hit and off went runners and walkers.

    Recall, Honeymoon, Marmaduke got 6 miles and Gumbo craved more pavement and headed back out to get more miles….total, TBD….

    Wilson, Ailse 5, and Exit row got a 4 miles Brisk walk in to round out the PAX!

    Strong work Gents!

  • A fantastic moon this morning OTB

    8 men and 2 dogs posted in total for a variety of routes.

    1 man (‘Duke) launched early and went 7+ to Timberwolf and back.

    1 man (Aisle 5 (aka Dark Walker)) walked solo and returned unharmed.

    1 man (Oyster) forgot that us boys SOJ have to get up early to feed the chickens and get our days started and arrived at 0655 to find Marmaduke finishing up (nope, not getting extra credit….DAMN!) and set off to get his miles in and check off OTB for the Winter Tour.

    The last 5 men and 2 dogs (Offshore and Sally, Honeymoon and Annie, P.O.G., Rosie and Gumbo) launched on time (ok, 1 minute late so Offshore could latch the leash on Sally) and conquered 8 miles with a beautiful moon lighting our way until the sun rose and illuminated Salisbury Lake on our return.

    Great morning men. Thanks for posting.
