Mary Munford Elementary
LockJaw didn’t show up on this day (August 27th) either to give us a route. Can’t really remember the routes taken by the group but I think it was pretty much a freestyle. Splinter, Faceplant and YHC ran the Bodos inspired Windsor Farm run. And that’s all I have to say about that. Sorry, sort of for waiting so long to post. For you Big Data people I know that it’s annoying.
Every now and then there’s a reference that is simply too good not to mention on the BackBlast. Yes, Chevy Chase is known for much, much more than his role in the very pedestrian movie “Funny Farm”. But he made it during at time when he was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, coming off blockbusters like the Vacation franchises and Fletch. So those of us who are a certain age all saw “Funny Farm.” From what I can remember, I was very underwhelmed. Needless to say, it’s not one that I’m dying to show my 14yo (unlike Fletch,…
A dozen tolerated the resurgence of humidity for a stroll down the road. Grove to Woodlawn to Leonard to Wisteria to Patterson. West on Patterson turning on Maple for 4s, 5s go to Chanticler and then back to Maple, and 6s went all the way to Three Chopt and back to Maple. Maple to Grove to home. Wheelie took us out. Moleskin: Once again TYA is a fashion pioneer.
With the BRR Pax getting ready to start their adventure further west, a half dozen runners and a lone biker represented today. East on Grove, rt on Thompson, left on Cary, left on Kennsenton. 4s turn left on Commonwealth, 5s on Lexington to Grove, and 6s on Harlan to Roslyn to Grove. Some opted for a slight detour to see the sights on Monument. Marv took us out. Several BRR memories resurfaced for the Pax after COT including a reenactment of Marv’s skunk tale. Ask him about it sometime.
A bunch of early morning runners and a biker or two embraced the gloom and excellent running weather. The stars were out, the moon crescent, and Upchuck had his shirt off and was working on his tan….basking in the moonlight. Routes – West on Grove with 4s turning right on Libbie and 5s/6s taking the Henri access road to St Chris. Both routes exit on Patterson where you head east. 4s/5s take Antrim back to Grove and 6s take Nansemond. YHC took us out. Good luck to those running the BRR next week! It will be an epic of a…
A lucky 13 arrived for a run around Mary. This is what transpired more or less… Run West on Grove to Greenway. Take Greenway to Cary then cross over to Ampthill. Take Ampthill to bottom then climb up Paxton to Cary. Repeat down-and-ups depending on 4, 5, or 6 mile options. Return by crossing over Cary and then back on Grove. Saab abides
A lively and plucky bunch, most of whom were looking for some relief of the humidity by way of a bicycle, showed up at Mary Munford’s Elementary School on Friday. It’s been really, really hot lately…like, the kind of heat that when you walk outside you just get mad. It’s August, so it’s really no one’s fault that it is so hot, but when someone recommended an Amateur RAMM Gears, it seemed to make sense to a good amount of people. YHC originally signed up to lead the PAX on a jog around the near west end…maybe a new route…
A fleet of thirteen convened at the corner of Grove and Commonwealth for an unexpected variation of a serpentine route. Directions were started early to leave ample time for repeating (if necessary). It was necessary (x2). Here was the route: 6 Milers:- East on Grove then left on Hamilton- Left on Grace then left on Lafayette back to Grove- Right on Grove then right on Antrim back to Grace- Left on Grace then left on Commonwealth back to Grove- Right on Grove then right on Westmoreland to Grace- Left on Grace then left on Chantilly (which turns to Bunting) back…
A much delayed account of a RAMM run and bike ride for big data.
While it was reported to be an extra muggy morning, it was actually 70 and sunny as always. A smaller group launched at the standard time and ran 4 or 5+ miles. Group ran across Commonwealth, down Monument and turned at the appropriate point and returned up Grove. A larger group continued their prep for the BRR with an earlier start and knocking out 8+ mile runs. Good work! RAMM Gears posted as well – if I missed anyone please let me know.
