Mary Munford Elementary

Runners, walkers, and bikers hit the roads – all covering distance suitable to their goals. Everyone had a companion to make the miles fly by. Good Luck to everyone running a race tomorrow. You trained and put in the time! You got this! YHC took us out.

A Halloween Special tour of Hanover was embraced with nostalgia today. Runners, bikers, and walkers took in the sights of a fine holiday. There was a FNG named Nick, but he disappeared before he could be suitably named. Upon second post and the appropriate inquiry, we will name him. YHC took us out.

It was a beautiful morning to run. The 4, 5, and 6 milers all ran by the building I was born in – St Mary’s. I told a funny story about the day I was born in 1973, the Dr was missing and his nurse found him at O’Tooles drunk and playing the piano. He used the forceps on my giant head and squeezed a bit too much. Imagine how smart I’d be if I wasn’t brain damaged at birth – lol. Not to worry, that doc lost his license to practice soon after my original birthday. Great to see…

Some number more than 15 gathered by foot, bike, or peg leg to scatter out and cause a ruckus in the neighborhood. After most everyone made it back, we gathered up and had great fellowship. But first, the route. The Route North on Commonwealth East on Patterson Turn right at 21 minutes Turn right on Grove BTTVSF Numbers, names, Marv took us out. Moleskine Solid showing for Mary this AM. Bikers may have outnumbered runners, they certainly outnumbered the walkers. Great to see some of the All Stars show up this morning so we could all dance to the inspirational…

Seven + 2 + 1 RAMMers + RAMMGearsers + massively LIFO Bodos, gathered under the moonlight for this morning’s iteration of RAMM. No one signed up so YHC came up with a quick route while “preparing” for the run this AM. Gumbo attempted to suggest a repeat of Sippy’s 50th run from last week so we could see the route this time. YHC suggested a flatter route. Everyone rejoiced. The Route East on Grove to North on Hamilton Turn left (see below) Left on Lafayette, right on Grove Right on Antrim, turn left Left on Sauer, right on Grove Right…

YHC picked up the Q late last night after a long week of work knowing he needed to get out and run. Short on a time to plan a route, a run down Monument was in order. Route Everyone: Commonwealth to Monument and head east towards downtown. All return on Grove. 4s turn on Arthur Ashe Boulevard. 5s turn on Meadow. 6s turn on Harrison. We all made it back. Numberama / Namerama. Announcements Applesauce has his VQ at Dogpile tomorrow morning. Show up at the appropriate time. YHC took us out. Riders Bone Thugs was the only rider back…

Five runners, six professionals, and 4 amateurs set off toward the Carillon and other parts unknown. The Routes Runners – Reverse Carillon Pros – T-Pot, War Memorial, elsewhere Amateurs – Carillon, Burpee Lake, Insect Hell Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN The real gearheads seemed surprised to find 3 schlubs ready to cruise. Bone joined a bit late to make four. The schlubs were cruising too, at least until they circled Burpee Lake and passed through the 3rd and 4th plagues of Eqypt. No less than 268 Gnats were swallowed per man. Nevertheless all made it back safely. The amateurs covered 7.42…

Somewhere between 12 and 16 able-bodied pavement warriors gathered in the forbidden parking lot for today’s RAMM/RAMM Gears. The few runners were quickly swarmed by the gears crew prior to launch. Luckily, a few more runners arrived right as we launched so numbers were relatively even. Variations of the Clovelly route were called: 4s:  https://onthegomap.com/s/evbak6d65s:  https://onthegomap.com/s/gfkphqr36s:  https://onthegomap.com/s/3f7djt48 Fartleks weren’t even discussed. Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Moleskine The runners all remembered that darn goon Clovelly being much longer and deeper than experienced today (here come the jokes). It is still a good alternative offshoot to throw in there from time to time.…

A mix of regulars, summer tourists and a downrange visitor convened for the most recent edition of RAMM. YHC had posted the routes the night before but reviewed them once more for good measure. 4s: https://onthegomap.com/s/5eha4kmp 5s: https://onthegomap.com/s/3tsk0njm 6s: https://onthegomap.com/s/0g6mfb69 Numbers / Names / Announcements YHC took us out. Thanks to EF Hutton for the text reminding me to post the backblast. YHC was out of town all weekend and had forgotten.

According the aspiring millionaire who found a penny, miles were covered today by foot and wheel. Offshore took us out.
