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.
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!
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!!

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.

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!
