  • Better Late than Never

    Three guys showed up for a stroll around the surrounding neighborhoods of Atlee High School. As they took off, nobody was designated as the “Q’ but YHC started to guide the group through the following route.

    The Route

    Atlee to the Honey Meadows loop to the front of Kings Charter across the street into Madison Springs to the back and then exiting out Summer Duck to Atlee High School for about 4.3 miles.

    COT: Numerarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Opus took ups out.

  • Late to Party – Ruck on

    YHC Came in hot for a Ruck walk just past 5:30…Runners already launched.

    With no other ruckers to ruck with…chose the Sancerre Route over the tracks and return. When YHC arrived back to the start was welcomed by 2 runners for this morning.

    Numberama/Namerama Phonics took us out!

  • I was running by myself

    If a tree falls and no one hears it, does it make a sound? That is what YHC was wondering as he embarked on a solo run of 4 – 5 miles from Atlee High School through the neighborhoods of Rutland and Cool Spring Forest this morning. The only witnesses to YHC’s run were 2 ladies out for a walk and a guy and his dog. Interesting thing there was the dog was wrapped in glowing lights like a Christmas tree where the guy had none. The most surprising thing this morning. No rain. YHC expected to be soaked, but by the end of the run not even his hat was wet.

  • Running and Rucking

    Two runners and one rucker enjoyed the brisk journeyed around the surrounding neighborhoods on this Tuesday morning. The runners did an easy run on the traditional farmhouse loop of 4.35 miles. The rucker left at 5 am and ran back to the VSF with the ruck sack. Well done Yardsale!

  • Pre-Storm Run and Ruck

    4 guys showed up to the campus at Atlee High School to log some miles before the events of the “First Alert Weather Day” began. Two guys ran, one did a run/walk, and one rucked. Mr. Holland and YHC ran and did the farmhouse loop. Opus ran some and then walked/rucked with Descartes. Weather as usual was perfect the entire time.

  • If a tree falls in the forest…

    According to YHC, one posted at Atlee High School on this perfect morning for a run. When it appeared that he was solo, he jogged into Giles, Craney Island, Kroger, and back to Atlee for about 5 miles. Nothing really to report on this route but it is likely the most hilly route that can be done from Atlee High School.

    Gotta Run!

  • Light Duty

    With most of the Davillians seemingly injured, sick themselves, or with sick family members, the PAX did some running, which is purportedly better than no running. As YHC was pondering whether to get his sore back out the car for what appeared to be a solo run, Spit came in a few minutes late expecting to do a brief, light effort as he returns to health. The brief, light effort, just over three miles, was perfect for both, and there was plenty of pleasant mumblechatter about Disney despite our ailments.

  • It Must Have Been Cold

    2 Ruckers and 1 Runner posted on a chilly Tuesday morning. Ruckers rucked for an hour and 15 minutes while the runner (Phonics) ran for 45. We met back in the parking lot at the end. Phonics took us out.

  • Frost Delay

    Four ruckers and three runners posted on this perfect brisk morning and did the following.

    Ruckers – Started at 5 am and rucked to various locations around Atlee High School

    Runners – Started a few minutes after 5:30 AM due to frosting delays by 2 of the runners. Ran into Rutland and Cool Spring Forest then back to Atlee HS.

    COT – Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Opus took us out.

    With no headlamps for the runners due to one of them being borrowed by YHC’s 2.0 and the batteries failing in another, the runners chose the Rutland loop which would be more lit than other routes. The ruckers were in search of Hotel California who did not appear on this day.

  • I Don’t Measure Distance. I Let the Other Guys Do That.

    YHC and the Davillian Pax welcomed one of our own back from a Brazilian Taylor Swift experience with style–a Taylor Swift fartlek. Was the Pax ready for it, just tolerate it, or did the music selection create bad blood? Whichever way, YHC can shake it off. If you want to exile me from the Q spot for being the anti-hero here, you need to calm down.

    The running Pax covered about 4.5 miles, picking up the pace from the beginning of the songs until the first chorus. As for the ruck, Yardsale needs some help measuring. After numbers and names, Yardsale took us out. Is it over now?
