A lucky 13 gathered today at various times for various distances. Good times were had by all with perfect weather, an early sunrise, and a full moon. The 530 crew ran with reverse Carillon routes. There was quite an extensive early AM crew with Bleeder being first on the AO today. As it is Nurses Week, Flatline took us out.

Low 70s greeted a hearty group of runners and bikers on this ever peculiar Friday morning RAMM. It was good to see some familiar faces and have at least 45 minutes of normality these days. As always, I’m appreciative of this group, their humor, their encouragement and their inspiration. The Thang… Admittedly, the newly renovated Bat Cave starting at UofR and going to Huguenot Road has got me all fired up. The blacktop is a sensational running surface and the trail is wide and brand new. And, as it turns out, if you go west on Grove, right at Three…

A coincidental 13 gathered on Friday the 13th and shunned the European measuring system in favor of imperial measuring units. Surprisingly, no mileage was called today, just pattern based instructions. The goal was somewhat concentric squares. Here’s how it went down: The Route- Use north on westmoreland and west on Grove as fixed axis- Go north 1 block then turn right- Turn right after 1 block then right on Grove- Right on westmoreland and proceed 2 blocks north then take a right- Right after two blocks then back on grove- Continue increasing by a block in each direction until time…

A solid double dozen men showed up on a just warm enough to wear gloves but not cold enough to wear long pants morning for a run around the southside of Cary Street. The Thang… Everyone: East across Commonwealth to Willetta which winds east to Kingscrest (one of the two “crests” that were run today). Kingscrest deadheads into Malvern. Go South on Malvern, across Cary into the wonderful Windsor Farm community. From there, you are on Canterbury and you bear to the left on Canterbury to start running towards the back of the community. In the early 1960s, the Canterbury…

Everyone heads west on Patterson. 5s/6s turn right on Maple, left on Dustin, left on Pepper, left on Three Chopt, left on Grove. 4s turn left on Maple, left on Grove and a victory lap around the Mary Mumford block. Shakedown took us out with thoughts and prayers going to Sugar Sock for the loss of his friend. Moleskin Usually Marv expresses his displeasure for YHC’s routes up front…

A lucky 13 came out for spring weather to splash in the mud puddles and warmth. We went west, a little north, east, south, and then finished with a little more west. Roads traversed were primarily Grove and Patterson with cross throughs of Libbie, Malvern, Nansemond, and St Chris depending on your distance. Marv (the birthday boy) took us out. It isn’t really his birthday, but that shouldn’t hold him back from celebrating. Time to Taper, Lockjaw
