  • Farmhouse Loop

    4 runners and 2 ruckers were present for this mornings run / ruck walk exercise. Runners met up with the Rucker’s walking up the school access road behind Atlee High school as they launched at 5am from No Idea’s house in Kings Charter. Runners ran around the farmhouse in KC, then returned taking the Taylor Farms route back.

    Good 9 min mile pace with Marco Polo leading the way ahead!

    Numberama, Namerama, Marco Polo took us out in prayer

    HDHH at Corned Beef’s Place!

    The M is out for senior beach week with our daughter…so with the men left behind, we decided to have a happy hour Thursday 6-23-22 from 5:30 – 8PM. BYOB, will have some munchies, and will have a grill if you want to cook up something…we may have some brats, wings and burgers too. DM me if interested and I will get you the details.

    Always an honor to lead…see you in the gloom…Cheers, CB!

  • YHC needs a tour guide

    7 regulars, 1 FNG and a wanderer from SOJ went in search of a hill to run near Atlee HS but found gentle rollers rather than one big one

    YHC will not pretend like he knew where we where headed nor remembers where we went but some made it close to 5 miles, some cut off the edges and did 3 or 4 miles. There was supposed to be a fairly big hill involved but Hash and Marco Pollo lead YHC through the woods to get some extra miles in and we ended up by passing the hill. There where many rolling hills through the Giles Community which is a route that YHC hasn’t been down yet so I was glad to see a different side of the Atlee area.

    BTTF Numbers / Names Corned Beef took us out

    NMS:

    Welcome aboard Dew Point congratulations on your first post being one of the muggiest days of the year this far.

    Thanks to Hash and Marco Pollo for being YHC’s tour guides this morning. YHC had a direction in mind but Google maps didn’t show the little paths to get from one neighborhood street to another to complete the loop. It’s always good to have a local with you.

    YHC will try to get out a little more and away from his normal stops. You sometimes forget the brothers you have met and there are a bunch out there in the Gloom that you haven’t met yet.

    “If your presence doesn’t make a difference to those around you, your absence won’t make a difference.”

    Go out there and make a difference

  • runners and walkers and biker oh my. and your little dog too.

    6 runners, 2 walk/ruckers and 1 biker made up this morning’s cast of characters. great time had by all. good to see Gilligan for a second day in a row.

  • Giles Trails Run

    YHC showed up to have 2 others join for a 4 mile trail run through the Giles neighborhood. The weather was bright enough that we did not need head lamps and made for a good run with great mumblechatter.

    Hope to see more of the PAX soon on these pleasant morning runs.

    Numberama Namerama and Opus took us out in prayer.

  • 3 different decades logged 4 miles

    YHC decided to post at the Anvil this morning as he had an early morning commitment immediately following the run. It was rainy and a cool 69 degrees for this morning’s run and we decided to do the Farm house loop and return through Taylor farms and cross over the the access road to CMS run in front of Atlee to log in 4.3 miles at a sub 8.22/minute mile. It was hard to reign in Marco-polo but with the balance of power we were able to do so for a great run with some good mumble chatter.

    Numberama / Nameram and Marco Polo took us out in Prayer.

    Great run this morning with a 50’s , 40’s and 30’s age group properly represented!

    Have a great Tuesday…SYITG Cheers…CB!

  • Cris Cross Atlee

    4 Davillians got on Tuesday morning get it the early week miles

    Route including looping behind the schools into Taylor Farms, cross over Atlee station for the path into Summer Duck, cross over into Chickahominy Oaks, up and down the hills of the neighborhood, turn around back the way we came back up to Atlee Station. Option was give at that point either run against traffic or with it down Atlee Station to the newest entrance into Giles Head down to the trails of Giles to come out just pass the traffic circle. Do a loop around the Giles Hill then back to the Atlee Station and cross over to finish with about 4.5 miles (Marco Polo put in some extra to get 5)

    Was a great day for a run

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Vintage Tomato Run at The Anvil

    YHC loaded up early and headed from the fringe toward the Center of the Universe, stopping short at The Anvil for a run. YHC was greeted by 4 welcoming locals who stayed together for the following:

    Run down the high school driveway then

    R on Honey Meadows,

    L at the circle onto Meadow Pond Dr. and run to the last cul de sac,

    R on the path toward Wachter Pond,

    Jump back on Honey Meadows Rd,

    L on Orchard Meadow Rd and run to the end,

    R on the cross country path

    L on the high school drive, cross Atlee Station to the first traffic circle in Giles

    return to the VSF, add an optional bus loop.

    The distance was 4.3 mi, or 4.8 with the bus loop. The PAX introduced YHC to this site: https://onthegomap.com which is pretty slick.

    COT: Announcements: HDHH at The Answer tomorrow, blood drive and The Bridge June 4th. Prayers for Mr. Holland and shoulder surgery, congrats on the half.

    It is always good to see Corned Beef. It was great to see Spit and Marco Polo after a long time, and nice meeting Speakeasy. YHC was proud to be the one to introduce Speakeasy to some of the trails.

    The PAX passed ruckers and Mudface and No Idea on the way out. Way to put in the work!

  • Runners rock.

    3 guys came out to run. And that is what we did.

    Run through Giles, back through Craney, back to the school, do a loop around atlee. the end. 4.5 miles. lots of fun had by all.

  • College Reunion

    5 Davillians including a FNG got in their first post Half Marathon run on Tuesday.

    Marco Polo went out on his own route for a little 10k training route prep for Sunday

    For the rest of the PAX, plan was to take it easy and run two laps around the school for a 3.5 mile run. Well the loops were completed but not at a slow pace. Our FNG Speakeasy (Craig) kept the pace moving.

    YHC arrived surprised to see our FNC today. Speakeasy and YHC first meet back in our college years 15+ years ago. His girlfriend (now wife) at the time was a roommate of friend my YHC’s. YHC had spoke about F3 year go when Speakeasy was still living in the city. Thanks to a long delayed second EHing from Bulkhead we finally got him out

    Speakeasy gets his time due to the fact he is a lawyer for the Virginia ABC

    Welcome and look forward to him being a regular soon!

    SPIT ON THAT!!
