Mary Munford Elementary

  • For the Records

    A group of people ran, rucked, or rode and seemed to have a good time doing it.

  • Tres Amigos

    Despite the low volume there was little Takeover. 3 formidable fiends and one 4 legged friend on crutches knocked out varying ranges of miles and meters.

    Brief discussion about those who are abroad and across the pond.

    Great to see TYA do laps around Mary despite 2 days after surgery….the man is intrepid…much respect.

    Hitchhiker wants YOU to play pickleball…. apparently that’s a thing….

  • Dispelling all Fake News

    The gravity of Mary Munford was strong this am, pulling people in at 0530 and once again at 0615. Runners all did the same thing. Riders did something. Here is what the runners did.

    The Route

    4s: https://onthegomap.com/s/5qsculu5

    5s: https://onthegomap.com/s/e2gvt3lp

    Numbers, names, people strolled in, people rolled out. YHC took us out.

    Moleskin

    Great to see faces of those that have battled health challenges and to have them back out tackling the day. There was also an instance of someone who miraculously has already recovered from surgery that has not yet happened.

    YHC wants to specifically thank Pigskin for navigating me through the fog this morning. There were points where I was running backwards and didn’t even know. Thanks!

    Announcements

    • Batteau will be a summer long pickleball tourney. Bring one, bring all to see what it’s all about.
    • Summer tour in full force

    Have a phenomenal weekend everyone.

  • Bodos, Fudd & Splinter gone? I guess I’ll wing it

    A 14 Biker Runner Combo descended upon Mary Munford to attack the day. YHC was originally planning on tagging along with Bodos, Fudd and Splinter since this was my first post at RAMM, but alas they are out of town and there was no Q. Here’s the boring rectangular route with all left turns YHC came up with :

    4’s : From Mary Munford, head down Commonwealth towards Patterson, Left on Patterson, Left on Maple Ave, Left on Grove then BTTF

    5’s : After finishing the 4’s route, left on Commonwealth, Left on Patterson, Left on Bunting Ave, Left on Grove then BTTF

    6’s : After finishing the 5’s route, left on Commonwealth, Left on Patterson, Left on Bunting Ave, Left on Grove then BTTF (so same route as 5’s but you’re repeating the last leg an additional time)

    Bikers did their THANG

    DONE

    Numbers, Names, YHC took us out

    Announcements : The Crucible Saturday AO is back at Blackwell Elementary on Saturdays 7:30 am – 8:15 am. Offshore and Shakedown are trying to EH some more Healing Place guys to come out. Help them add some energy and get the ball rolling

    Memorial Day Convergence 5/29 at Tredegar at 7 am. Invite FNG’s. Coffee and Bagels served after the Q

    NMMS : Enjoyed my first post at RAMM. Good crowd there. I like to get in at least one run during the week and this week I hadn’t done a run until today. Glad I came out. Here’s a map of the route :

    EF Hutton’s challenge for March was to do something different than the usual. What a great way to end the month of March and complete the challenge. Well done boys. I think we had a good time, only lost a couple of folks but they found us. No flats this year, so today was a good day.

  • You two are so cute….

    Time to celebrate St Patty’s Day with a Pub Crawl! Grove to Lafayette to Broad and head east. Take a tour of Scott Addition and cut back on your respective cutover streets to Grove and back to the AO.

    YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    • The Bridge next weekend – See TYA for info
    • For your calendars: CPR training in late April, Location TBD

  • Jerk Store

    The title was in reference to a comeback TYA had been working on for the interim week and homage to the classic Seinfeld episode.

    West on Grove and a right on Bunting to Chantilly. Take a right on Monument and find your southbound cutover based on distance. 4s at Cleveland, 5s at Robinson, and 6s at Allen. Take to Grove and come on home.

    YHC took us out.

  • Arctic Chill

    11 polar bears came to walk, run, or pedal through some freezing weather. We kept the conversation brief at the end to return to the wrap cars, but the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror was definitely referenced.

    Shakedown took us out.

  • Faceplant Silencer

    Walk, Bike, Run…it didn’t matter….

    Running Route: Head east on Grove, south on Greenway. Cross Cary to Ampthill. Take Ampthill to bottom where it turns to Paxton. Take Paxton up to Cary. Turn around and head back south on Paxton to Ampthill to Cary.

    4’s return on on Greenway

    5’s and 6’s repeat Ampthill and Paxton. 5’s exit on the top of Paxton and take Tuckahoe back to Grove then return to Mary.

    6’s head south on Paxton (again) then up Ampthill. Return on Greenway.

    Title reflects what benefit a little (lot of) elevation will do on a run…
