Betty Weaver Elementary
Yes, Last Call made his first showing of fiscal year 2025 at River Run after much previous banter from pax members. Route – slow and steady, avoid the hills as much as possible, mosey around the high school to River Downs and partially up roller coaster for 4 miles. Doozy added more. Great to have Last Call join us this week. Hopefully he becomes a regular. Certainly not the lounge he’s accustomed to at Bettie Weaver as was pointed out. Way to go. -Singer
4 south side regulars ascended on River Run for an OG River Run route – Robious park parking lot loop back to Bettie bus loop, repeat once for 4 miles. Conversation was plentiful as we made our way back and forth to the park. Good to have OC back in the mix.
Up twin team, through Powderham over to Brigstock and Mt. Hill, return to school. 4.5 miles in total.
4+ flat miles. Around Weaver, through River Downs North, then to Stone Harbor Drive. Almost made it to the boat ramp, but “ran” out of time.. Out and back.
3 men, 4 ish miles. Tarrington, Powderham, Twin Team.
Doozy and Bullseye, 4 flat miles. Around James River High, through the woods to River Downs. Out and back.
Not too much to report, good crew out this morning for River Run. Flatter route was chosen, out and back from Bettie to River Downs and up to Roller Coaster. OC rucked around somewhere. Thoughts and prayers for Kevin, OC’s deck contractor, who may feel the wrath of a woman scorned if he doesn’t get his act together soon. -Singer
Three regulars descended from the vehicles and took off around Bettie Weaver for a holiday inspired route. Four milers – continuous clover leaf type turns in the neighborhoods surrounding Bettie and James River HS until YHC was ready to head back. One-armed leprechaun- hill repeats on Twin Team. Thought of the route on the quick jaunt over to the site, something like a clover but in review really not at all. Appreciated the time this morning with Doozy has he placed a 25 lb pack on and still dragged YHC around a better clip than normal. Maybe it was the…
YHC didn’t realize there was a Q as Doozy had declared hill repeats via text message, sorry Chaplain. YHC decided to toss out a route that summited Twin Team twice but not repeatedly beat ourselves into submission. Chaplain took the 2.0 on a flatter run. YHC took OC out around the Brigstock hood, and Doozy, Boberry and Bullseye repeated Twin Team in different manners. Good to have our buddy Bullseye back out as he recovers from surgery. Carry on my PAX friends. -Singer
Singer and YHC made it out of the gloom to arrive at River Run this A.M. Last night YHC texted his run plan to the usual RR suspects with the added disclaimer “I’m not going to take the Q because I’m not going to ask you guys to do this stupid stuff” YHC’s plan: Mosey to the track, 4 fast laps, 2 laps mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. 3 fast laps, 2 laps mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. 2 fast laps, 2 laps mosey with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. 1 fast lap, 1 lap mosey…
