A solid 10 started the new year with a run around town. Weather was perfect and spirits were high. East on Grove, left on Lafayette, right on Monument. 4s turn on the Blvd, 5s on Meadow, and 6s on Harrison all picking up Grove to return to the SF. YHC took us out. Moleskin: Unlike the last time we did a New Year’s run, the town was very quiet this morning. YHC only saw a few empty liquor bottles and a giant red hawk on the route. Post anything interesting that you may have seen in the comments. The backblast…

Only three creatures were stirring this morning. Marv would have been proud of the route selection today. North on Commonwealth, east on Monument, run for 23 minutes and turn around and back to the flag. We were rewarded for getting up this mrning with the quietest day of he year. Hitch and I launched at 5am and ran straight down the middle of Grove. All the way to 3chopt and back and never had to move out of the middle of the street. And, we saw exactly zero other people on Grove between 5 and 530. First car we saw…

13 sets of legs ran and one set peddled on this the 48th Anniversary of YHC’s entry into the world. Weather was, again, perfect at sunny and 70. Routes: 4 Milers: West on Grove, right on Libbie, quick left at Patterson, genuflect at Pearl’s, then east on Patterson. Right on Malvern. Right on Grove and BTTF. 5 Milers: West on Grove, right at Three Chopt (on the side street – Henri), right on St. Christopher’s, right on Patterson, genuflect at Pearl’s Cupcake Shoppe, then continue on Patterson. Right on Commonwealth. Right on Grove and BTTF. 6 Milers: West on Grove,…

Tomorrow is YHC’s birthday. YHC has the Q. Meet 05:30. Pre-Runners: Return to RAMM before 05:30. 4 Milers: West on Grove, right on Libbie, quick left at Patterson, genuflect at Pearl’s, then east on Patterson. Right on Malvern. Right on Grove and BTTF. 5 Milers: West on Grove, right at Three Chopt (on the side street – Henri), right on St. Christopher’s, right on Patterson, genuflect at Pearl’s Cupcake Shoppe, then continue on Patterson. Right on Commonwealth. Right on Grove and BTTF. 6 Milers: West on Grove, right at Three Chopt (on the side street – Henri), right on St.…

16 or so early morning risers arose. Short run: Monument to Grove rectangle. 4s turn at Arthur Ashe, 5s around Allison, 6s were absent. Long: Top Golf route Bikes: out and around. Felt like a good morning to take in the Monument Christmas lights, so off the four of us went. Great job everyone. YHC had a good conversation with Pucker, where I learned a new acronym today – R.U.D. (rapid unscheduled disassembly). The context was the Space X test run this week which appeared to go well other than an RUD ending. Bodos’ version of a rectangle has more…

14 arose and conquered. Short run – snake tongue route. Left on Grove, left on Granite, across Cary down Kennondale. 4s return the way you came. 5s do Tempsford and return home. No 6s. Oyster ran the Oyster route. Long run did the reverse Carillon. Great job men. Only a few of us on the short run today but it was a good morning to be out nonetheless. Hard pressed to find a longer hill than Kennondale from RAMM, perhaps YHC shouldn’t announce such a challenge. Thanks to Shiplap for keeping our average age down.

16 boys came to the yard at recess and went their own ways. Choices – ride a bike, run a long ways, or run a shorter than long ways (reverse Carillon). Pullout’s pullout game is still strong. Good job men. Stay safe, prayers to Kubota on a swift recovery, and hope he didn’t get everyone sick at Saab’s birthday outing. We can all blame Saab right? -Singer

A double dozen came out on a beautiful morning at Ms. Mary Munford’s Elementary School for a Friday the 13th edition of RAMM. After a few were lost last week on the Windsor Farms route, we wanted to try it again, with a bit more specific directions. YHC did realize something during the jaunt that most likely is happening on this particular run. Three or four years ago we would run Hillcrest with regularity…it even became (and still is?) a Wednesday afternoon Q. Of course, we’ve had a plethora of guys join us since those runs, and they may (MAY!)…

On a picture perfect November morning, 25 dudes met up for what turned out to be a complicated route south of Cary Street. This isn’t the first, or even the fourth time that we’ve took a stab at the vaunted “Windsor Farms to Hillcrest” jaunt…and, much like the first few times, I’m not sure anyone completed it as it was planned out. Either way…here’s the ideal way to run this route… Head east on Wilmetta which more or less turns into Kingscrest. Up the hill on Kingscrest until it dead ends at Malvern. Right (south) on Malvern. Malvern crosses Cary…

A sweet 16 embraced cooler temperatures and a soggy road to pre-emptively burn off some Halloween calories. Off we went north on Commonwealth turning right on Broad. Left on Roseneath. 4s turned around a Veil and took a scenic run down Roseneath to Grove and back to the flag. 5s and 6s continued on in Scott Addition, turning right on Norfolk and a right on the Blvd. 5s take the Blvd to Grove and home. 6s turn left on Broad and a right on Strawberry to Grove and home. eHarmony took us out.
