  • Negative Split DaVille style

    2 Runners and 4 Ruckers found there way to Atlee High School for a perfect start to a sunny and 70 morning. The runners inspired by the negative split idea that Faceplant led at RAMM a few weeks ago tried it as well. Because the start time in DaVille is always around 5:33 AM, it only allowed for 22 minutes out and 21 minutes for the return. BAM! and YHC took the challenge and off they went into Honey Meadows, Kings Charter, and back for about 5.18 miles travelled. Although it is unclear once again exactly what the Ruckers did, it is possible that they also did a negative split ruck.

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, YHC took us out.

    It was great again running with BAM! this morning. The pace pushed us both this morning. Although on the cold side, with no wind, the conditions were perfect.

    During the COT, YHC talked about Jim Moore, a former neigher, who passed away Friday night at the age of 76. He was one of the nicest people I ever met and will be missed by many.

  • Over 5 miles

    2 runners and 4 ruckers gathered at Atlee High School on this cold and windy yet sunny and 70 morning.

    The Route

    The runners ran into Taylor Farm, Honey Meadows, Kings Charter, Madison Springs, Chickahominy Oaks, Summer Duck, back into Taylor Farm, and back to the VSF for a little over 5 miles. It’s rare that DaVille runners break the 5 mile barrier. The ruckers walked somewhere for likely a little more than 2 miles.

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Annoucements, Yard Sale took us out.

  • The morning after

    Seven guys show up to Atlee High School to enjoy the perfect weather again on a ruck or run. The 3 runners jogged into Taylor Farm, Honey Meadows, back to Taylor Farm, and back to Atlee for 4.7 miles. The ruckers rucked for about 2 miles.

    NMS: Its not easy when your team is playing Monday night football to rise up for a 5:30 AM workout the next morning. It was 7 – 7 at halftime. Why didn’t I go to bed at that time? I knew what was going to happen in the 2nd half. I should have taken the 7 – 7 victory and gone to bed happy. Well, at least I’m not a hard core baseball fan and stayed up until 2:30 AM to watch all 18 innings.
