With no Q on deck, YHC took the torch and planned the route. YHC was introduced to this route by Oyster and YHC has wanted to do it again for a while now – so perfect opportunity. The route is simple head down Grove, take a left on Three Chopt, then an immediate right and run down to the end of the cul-de-sac and back. I think the PAX was a little worried at first given YHC’s directional challenges however everyone made it back and no one got lost. For the 6s you have to do a bit extra, for everyone else it was out and back.

The mumble chatter was very welcomed for the 4/5ish group – very entertaining mix of conversation covering everything from the demands of church leadership to PG-13 jokes about potatoes (ask Saab for the joke). No word on the 6s mumble chatter, likely they were just huffing and puffing because they were so fast.

• Check Slack for summer tour rules
• Shotgun shared with us his positive sentencing news

YHC took us out, thank you for the opportunity to lead this morning – you all fill my cup every morning! Great Run

Thankful for all the small things today, this crew covered a traditional route that included Monument and Grove. Classics never go out of style.

A luck 13 descended upon Mary for a morning run, walk, ruck, bike. Here’s the core of it

5M – Follow route as is

4M – Do Not turn onto Old Locke Lane into Windsor farms.  INSTEAD you proceed straight across Cary, past church to Grove, then back to Mary

6M – Follow route as is, however, stay on Sulgrave until it turns to Canterbury….take to Cary then turn left back towards Mary via Westmoreland…(if you return on Commonwealth you will be a bit short….thanks Marv)

Eight by run, ruck, or bike came out to see if the pollen abated with the recent rain. Spoiler alert: No, its still strong.

Today’s route was a scenic stroll down Park Ave in the Fan and back on Floyd.

Marv took us out.

On the slim chance I missed someone’s name (I know I did), please let me know

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 lookin’ design on your MapMyRun app. Don’t take your first left on Dover, but take your second (Dover cuts through Windsor Farms). That runs you into Lock…right there there’s a cut through that gets you on to Pocohontas.

Head West on Pocohontas and then north on Hillcrest Avenue.

4s head out of the neighborhood at the top of Hillcrest. Take Oak to Harlan to Patterson. Patterson to Commonwealth and your back at MM.

5s take another lap around Hillcrest and then leave the neighborhood like the 4s.

6s take that same lap, but then head back up via Charmian to Cary. Uturn on Cary back south on Lock. Left on Dover (again) and then left on Berkshire. That leads you out of the Wonderful Windsor Farms neighborhood and to the Flag.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. I’m looking forward to trying to catch TYA on Tuesday.

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 us out. Good verse to contemplate: “Act like men, be strong, let all you do be done in love.” I guess YHC was long winded, and shifting weight during COT ensued.

Moleskin: It was nice to have Lab Rat back to RAMM. Surprisingly WRAT was not broadcasting so strongly today. Singer seemed to be doing more of the talking when passing. Lots of talk about the sewer work closing down Cary St.. Great joke by TYA about this work–it was urgent to fix the problem or the $!#% will hit the Fan. It is downhill as we validated by our route today. Been laughing about that all day.
