Mary Munford Elementary

  • A Penny Richer

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

  • It Depends

    Runners and their bike gang hit the mean streets of Mary Mumford. Miles were covered, stories we shared, and there was envy and admiration for Bodo’s vibrant shoes.

    YHC look us out, but No Tools finished with a joke.

  • Porto Pottie Pick…

    Moleskine

    Soupy run this morning. Everyone seemed extremely excited when snake river was called. Good thing everyone is stretching before workouts now.

    Enjoy your Friday’s fellas. Seek something to be happy about, it’s likely not too far from you.

    Splinter out.

  • Legit Chicken Sh!t

    Ten traversers-of-the-ballsack, gathered in the waning darkness for today’s RAMM. Gumbo arrived staring at his phone, likely studying the route. Saab appreciated the ball sack route which prompted many jokes on balls. Bone Thugs appropriately stated, “that escalated quickly”.

    Moleskine

    If you want to know what happens when you load chicken shit into your car, check with Chippendale. If you want to save money on garbage disposal, check with Saab. There were competing backblast title candidates related to composting. Tomatos with feathers was a close second.

    Have a great Friday everyone.

    Splinter out.

  • FTLOBD

    14 showed to run, walk, ruck. Route was posted the day prior…glanced at by a few, absorbed by none.

  • Return to Haiku

    Cold, brisk winter temps

    We converge ready to go

    Which route will be called?

    West we went with speed!

    Underground explorer’s tales

    A maze beneath us

    Are those people sounds?

    An unholy convergence

    Decor by Satan

    Awkward pleasantries

    Cult membership was denied

    Back to the sermon

    Pax in disbelief

    Was it true or was it false?

    Mysterious ways

    YHC took us out.

  • Misty Run Down Monument

    Five runners and one rider converged at the corner of Commonwealth and Grove on a misty morning to start the weekend right. With no one on the Q sheet, we caucused and agreed to head to Monument then go east. We cut over to Grove at various points and headed back to where we started.

    With a light mist and cool weather, it was an ideal morning for a run.

  • Worth the Wait

    Though coincidental, the route called today is the classic Reverse Carillon. After a little bit of explanation – including the fact that the reverse route is the dominant direction – off we went.

    Good conversation along the way as perspectives were shared. The two blocks of sudden November Rain (cue the GNR song) was a nice surprise.

    OBT took us out.
