Eleven of the best the commonwealth has to offer gathered on the pavement this time for some running at/around (but not in) Mary. Route was posted last night but there were still ample questions, primarily questioning whether this was a variation of the reverse or regular Carillon route. I called reverse, but on second thought maybe it was forward. Only the cowgirl truly knows. The Route https://onthegomap.com/s/ok664otj 5s don’t do the loop at the beginning, just head down grove 4s head down grove and right on Auburn and ditch the falcon at the end (no takers) Walkers did this in…

Chilly, wet, and moist…Enjoyed the company and COT. Saab abides

Run, walk, hobble…it did not matter. 7 gentlemen made the best of a morning that was deemed “hot”. As to how hot it was – relative to how hot it could be or has been – was open to debate – including which internal organs were the most vulnerable in high temperatures. Saab abides Route: Below is the 5M route: Everyone begins by taking the left onto Locke Lane off Grove…. 4Ms: when you reach the top of Paxton and cross over to Tuckahoe, take a right on Grove and head back to Mary 6Ms: Same route as 5s but…

Four RAMM regulars gathered under the tree to admire Hitchhiker’s choice of running shoes. That was until a shirtless man came galloping towards us. Distracted by the streetlights glistening off this bulging man, directions were given: The Route Everyone head west on Grove Access road to Iris then down to the golf course 4s Tapoan back to Three Chopt then back to Grove 5s Tapoan back to Three Chopt then cross to St Chris, east on Patterson, back on Westmoreland 6s Ridgeway to Roselawn to Towana to Campus to Pepper to Patterson, back on Westmoreland Numbers, names, YHC took us…

YHC returned to his old, pre-F3 haunts for a run down memory lane. Somehow the hills in the Hillcrest portion of memory lane had gotten bigger. And I don’t remember memory lane being so rainy. But the nostalgia remained strong. The route went north to Park, then traveled west until we could take a straight shot down into Hillcrest’s front entrance.

Some (Sippy Cup and Phonics) were more ambitious than others (YHC). After even the most ambitious had returned…
