Betty Weaver Elementary
It was a single serving of Gumbo at RiverRun this morning. A beautiful morning for a run. YHC avoided as many hills as possible and logged 5 miles – all while thinking “did I miss a memo about a President’s Day convergence??”
See you fellas at No Toll tomorrow…I hope.
No More Gumbo for Me
8 PAX and 3 dogs started their work-week off with some miles through Tarrington, up the glorious Ashwell hill and through the BUSH and down TwinTeam. It was another glorious morning for a run.
Rosie was possessed this morning and left the pack before the end of the first mile. He took and extended detour into Powderham and then caught up to YHC, Honeymoon and P.O.G. for the finish down Twin Team and around the high school. Way to work, Rosie.
Honeymoon (and Annie), P.O.G. and YHC had a strong pace going, including up the long hill – not the nice Monday Mosey as would have been nice after yesterday’s 8-miler. Annie was having none of that. Way to put in the work fellas.
Limehouse logged an extra mile or so with a run to the AO and he and Doublemint cruised into the finish looking strong.
Great to see Wedding Singer out logging some miles. And, OC (and his two dogs) did their thing. Way to get out and work through that plantar faciitis, OC.
Great morning guys. Thanks for Posting.
COT, Number-rama, Name-a-Rama and YHC took us out.

No More Gumbo For You!
5 River Run faithful (and Annie) showed up for the promised trip to DK’s house – 4 made it; 1 took a wrong turn.
Twin Team provided the gut-punch wake-up call, along with the brisk wind, but once we reached the summit, Rosie and Annie controlled the pace and Honeymoon and YHC didn’t know who was pushing who or why we were trying to keep up.
After arriving at DK’s house, bday donuts were calling Rosie, so he found yet another gear and went supersonic…much to Annie’s dismay. She was stuck with our dead weight – and added one as LugNut closed in and caught up to us.
We reunited with Marmaduke (our directionally challenged PAX member today) back on Twin Team after he looped Powderham in multiple directions.
Tuck and roll down Twin Team and back to the flag for a Monday morning after 5 to kick the work-week off right.
Well done men! Happy birthday to Rosie’s 2.0!
Be good men,
No More Gumbo For You…
Six thoroughbreds gathered in the gloom at Bettie Weaver ES for an extended mosey – here’s how it went:
Right on Robious, left on Riverdowns South and curse the hills that YHC forgot were back here. Loop around Royal Crest and wonder where the downhill parts start. Pass Gumbo’s yurt and wave to the sherpas and yetis. Finally descend to the Robious flatlands. 4s right on Robious and back to the flag by way of the access road by the JRHS football field. 5s/6s noodle around Riverdowns North and do whatever it is that 5s/6s do, then back to the flag by way of the JRHS football field road.
Numberama, namearama, and YHC took us out.
Great to have Garbage Plate join us on the Winter Tour!
3 strong +1 moseyed into gloom, down the hill around the corner, up the hill, through the shrubs, down the big hill around the loop and back for a 5 mile run. Of course Annie led every step of the way with Honeymoon & POG close in tow.
5 warriors survived this weekend’s Divisional Playoff games and swung their legs out of the bed in time to assemble for some miles at River Run.
THANG
Run up Twin Team
Turn into Powderham
Run as many small or large loops as possible.
Descend back down Twin Team with about 10 min to go.
Total miles run ranged from 4.5-5+
COT – Upchuck took us out.
Naked Moleskin
2 large loops were all the front runners could manage, and we were still 2-3 minutes late returning to the flag.
Great conversation with Upchuck and Doublemint once we were on the flat streets of Powderham.
Better late than never. Six OGs and one FNG ran loops from Betty Weaver. Run down and around the parking lot at the river landing, return to Betty Weaver and run the bus loop out back. One loop is roughly 1.85 miles. Repeat as much as needed or until 45 minutes has concluded.
Welcome FNG Bob Ross from Boston. Bob is Nancy Lopez’s brother-in-law who felt compelled to join us today. His name derives not from his lodging in Boston, not from his tenure at Harvard, and certainly not for his lack of fro-ish hair, but simply that he enjoys painting as a hobby. Welcome Bob Ross.
-Singer
5 SOJ faithful broke free from the sack to go in search of some flurries. We found them.
POG kept his weekday streak alive even though no other NM PAX were in tow today.
No Q, No route, No problem….Old Faithful erupted at 0530 and through Tarrington we went.
Back to BWES for Number-Rama, Name-A-Rama and YHC took us out.
Great work men.
