Seven posted to the Raider Run/Ruck on this special referendum voting day for the State of Virginia. As usual, the starting time for ruckers was 5:33 as many were making their way into the parking lot a little past 5:30. The runners did the farmhouse loop and then into Taylor Farm before returning to the AO. It appears as they were passing Chickahominy Middle School that 6 AM voting was light but had started. The ruckers went somewhere but returned at 6:15 PM.

NMS:

It was at most 33 degrees for the run this morning but weather was about perfect with the low humidity and no winds. BAM! and YHC talked about today’s vote as well as restaurants.

Often when electing a person, there is a space to write in a name. When the vote is “Yes” or “No”, do they leave a space to write in another option like “Maybe”? I’ll guess I will find out in a few hours.

As we vote and get the results later tonight, let all remember that we might have different opinions on how to get there, but we all want what is best for our state and country.

Announcements: Memorial Day Convergence – It will happen likely at 7 AM.

Gotta Run!

Seven of DaVille’s finest, including 2 who made it to the AO before 5:30 AM, gathered in the Atlee High School parking lot on this perfect Tuesday morning for running and rucking. The runners ran into King’s Charter for 21 minutes and then returned along the same route in 19 minutes. The distance was about 5.2 miles. The Ruckers rucked around the Atlee High School area.

We should make it offical DaVille policy that the starting time is 5:33 AM. When YHC pulled into Atlee’s parking lot at 5:30 AM and 30 seconds, there was one rucker and one runner waiting patiently for others to arrive. By the time that BAM! and YHC started their run, 4 more ruckers had arrived. YHC had a principal in high school that used to post the starting time of all events ending in 9. So graduation started at 5:59 PM. That made all of us know that we had to be there before 6 PM. I’ve also been told that an assistant principal from that same high school years observed that students were generally no more than 3 minutes tardy to school. What he did was set the school clock back 3 minutes, and everybody started to arrive on time.

Announcements: The opening of Wong’s Taco continues to dominate the discussion during announcements. A summary of reviews so far appears to be long wait times, understaffed, but the food is outstanding. F3 RVA/DaVille might make a stop there once the crowd slows up some in a few weeks.

Gotta Run!

Nine Davillians posted on this perfect Tuesday for the Raider Run/Ruck. The 3 runners ran into Honey Meadows, Kings Charter, then crossed Atlee Station Road to go into Madison Springs as well as surrounding neighborhoods before returning to Atlee High School for 4.3 miles. The 6 ruckers rucked around the area for an unknown distance.

Good numbers this morning. For running, the weather was about as good as it gets with no wind and temperatures in the mid 40s. Its been a while since 6 ruckers have posted. As the runners were getting started, we kept seeing LIFO ruckers driving into the parking lot. For the route the runners used today, its always nice when YHC is able to lead the runners through this route error free since it can be confusing.

Announcements: Wong’s Taco’s opening today at 11 AM. (Update – by 6:30 PM, the libraries parking lot was packet likely with patrons from PBR, Charred, and Wong’s Tacos. It might look like this every night from now on until more parking is constructed. Not sure what the librarians think.)

Gotta Run!

4 Ruckers and 1 Runner Rucked and Ran for 45 minutes around Atlee High School on a beautiful spring morning. Bam got in 5 miles and was panting a little when he got back. Ruckers headed behind Atlee and kept up a pretty good pace. Numbers, Names and Trail Mix took us out.

It might have been 70 and sunny somewhere at 5:30 AM on this St. Patrick’s Day, but as the 3 runners and 3 ruckers stepped out of their cars at Atlee High School, the wind brought back that familiar feel of winter.

The 3 runners ran the farmhouse loop for 4.3 miles. The ruckers walked around the campus and possibly other locations.

As the runners took off, no ruckers had made it to the AO yet. Off to the distance, one rucker was observed driving in. As the runners returned, two others had joined him in the ruck. The runners talked about everything from yesterday’s weather to retirement. We were just all thankful that we made it through yesterday’s forecast safely.

Nine gentlemen showed up at Atlee High School this Tuesday morning despite the thick frost that tried to keep us away.

The five ruckers took off and possibly headed into Giles. The four runners, including Opus whose car looked like it had been in the artic, took off towards Kings Charter. Opus did the 4/1 while the other 3 looped back every so often because in DaVille we brocode as much as possible. The farmhouse loop in the opposite direction was completed.

It was great having so many out today. Hopefully, as our area thaws, we will have a few more join us over the next month.

Announcements:

• Frozen Triangle this Saturday at 6 AM at Dogpile. You can participate in the entire event or just part of the event. There is also a need for support volunteers.

One rucker who has been posting and two runners who were breaking their hibernation journeyed into Rutland and surrounding neighborhoods hoping to find Dunkin.

The Routes

The runners when along mostly snow and ice free roads in Rutland, Cool Spring Forest, Cool Spring North, and the Bojangles loop for a very careful 4.5 miles. The rucker was spotted going back and forth along Combs Drive and later claimed that he did find Dunkin.

The runners of DaVille have returned after a hiatus due to the snow/ice kept them away. BAM! and YHC convinced each other that it would be safe for a jog. As it turns out, the conditions were great with only a few icy spots. With the upcoming forecast, it looks like we will be able to try this again in the near future.

No announcements for today.

Two Runners and Two Ruckers posted on this perfect Tuesday morning for another addition of the Raider Run/Ruck. The Runners did the reverse farmhouse loop for about 4.3 miles. Much talk was about running and track. The Ruckers rucked in the surrounding areas for about 45 minutes.

Many of the regulars were not here today. Not sure if staying up late of the national championship game prevented the early risers from posting. Enjoyed catching up with Anchovy who might not have run that far since he last joined me for the Raider run months ago.

Gotta Run!
