Fourteen dudes showed up at Mary Munford’s Elementary School on a warmer March morning (it was 27 degrees on Tuesday, 62 today…life in VA is never dull) for a jaunt around the southside of Cary Street (which, by the way, is closed for the next few months west of MM. Keep that in mind). The route was an oldie but a goodie through Windsor Farms and then Hillcrest…for more detail… 4s, 5s, 6s Take Kingscrest to Malvern. South on Malvern until it dead ends in Windsor Farms. Take a left on Canterbury and circle around to make the Millenium Falcon…

Smaller crowd today and a simple route idea. 4 milers run on Grove to Meadow and head back. 5 or 6 milers (only YHC today) were to chase the 4 milers, making 4 left turns to run around the block each time they passed the 4 milers (essentially putting them 4 blocks behind each time). While on Grove, push the pace to catch the 4 milers, and while circling the block, slow up. In short it worked, YHC posted ~5.8 miles, catching the 4 milers twice on the way to Meadow and twice on the way back. COT: YHC took…

Many early and on-time departures with differing routes and methods. Here’s the core of it all… Route: 4’s do 1 loop of Hillcrest then return on Oak 5’s do 2 loops of Hillcrest then return on Oak 6’s do the 2 loops with Charmian jughandle and return on Greenway https://onthegomap.com/s/d0p230pd In reference to our beloved park service workers, yes there is such a person… mike litoris news – Google Search Saab abides

Once again, YHC busted out the ol’ Windsor Farms to Hillcrest route…and I’m pretty sure, once again, I got one direction wrong out of the multiple twists and turns. I was very disappointed Bodos wasn’t there to not run the route explained…but then again, I got a direction wrong, so maybe it was for the best. I do think one of the reasons for the confusion is that as a former left handed pitcher, I truly don’t know my left from my right. I struggle with it constantly. Probably somewhat hazerdous when giving directions. Next time, I’ll just say “reverse…

More people didn’t return for COP than departed this morning but nonetheless we still had fun staring at each other. Route was posted late(ish) yesterday afternoon. Some (one) saw it in advance and the other(s) still needed instruction. Off we went on a quest for doughnut smells and scratch & sniff peaches. The Route https://onthegomap.com/s/m1gmjafa 6s: Do as planned 5s: Turn left on Lafayette to Fitzhugh 4s: Straight up Commonwealth to Fitzhugh Numbers, names, silence, YHC took us out. Announcements Chirp Chirp RAMM proper has had lower numbers for a few weeks. Ask a friend or FNG to come out…

Some launched at 5, others at 530, but everyone enjoyed the cool running weather and clear skies. The route was simple and straightforward, perfect for the new Pax and out oft owners. Head west on Grove, north on Bunting/Chantilly, east on Monument, and pick your southbound street to come back to Grove and head west back to the AO. The return markers were Cleveland for the 4s, Davis for the 5s, and Allen for the 6s. Vamos took us out. It was great to see a couple of new Richmond based Pax as well as Vamos from Cincinnati. The title…

10 of Richmond’s finest celebrated TGIF with an early morning run/walk/mosey. For those of us who started at 5:30, here’s what we did: > West on Grove> Right on Granite> Left on Patterson> Run past the new Westhampton Commons and take immediate right into the back parking area> Mosey to Parking Garage Entrance 4 milers: Run up to Level 3 of Parking Deck, run back down, back to Mary the same way5 milers: Run 2x all the way to the top of level 6 of the Parking Deck, run Back Down. Then Run back to Mary the same way6 milers:…

We’re going to begin this morning by turning in our bibles to Joshua 6:1-27….the Old Testament story about the walls of Jericho. Most are familiar with the story, if not, it’s a quick and good read. There’s some legit OT stuff in there about war and God’s power, and marching. Traditionally, if it is all logistically possible, on VCU Gamedays, I try to enact my own walls of Jericho situation by jogging around the arean in which the Rams will be playing later that day. Road games in general are hard to win, so I’m not always successful but it…
