  • Playing Through

    Two regulars joined up at Reds for a 5:30 departure, with one running from the house to the start.

    The golf course route was selected but after 4 or 5 holes it was apparent the cart path was icier than the roads so the final 2 miles was opted for the Salisbury neighborhood.

  • Roll Your Own

    Four Wednesday warriors convened upon Midlothian Middle School to tackle some mileage on foot.

    Routes were chosen by mileage themselves, four miles or five miles. Draper and Boberry achieved 5, Bulleseye and YHC did four and Bullseye continued on for 6ish without the pax.

    A gentle nod to the general assembly moving Marijuana recreational sale through under Spanberger. A classic Saab route from the Friday run series. Come on, we’ve all hot boxed a Honda Civic or Ford Explorer back in the day, hoping not to get caught. Our children will never know the challenges of our youth.

    Stay healthy my friends. Puff puff give.

  • I Can’t Feel My Face

    Two regulars conversed with the other regular only to find Doozy was still in banana hammock mode on his return from vacation. YHC confirmed somewhere around the third quarter of the game (anyone else watch?) I would be attending the run.

    Route – Winterfield to Elmstead to Oakengate to Castleford to Kingsmill to Salisbury back to the start. 4 miles total.

    It was a balmy 12 degrees at the start. YHC hoped for the 5:00 AM confirmation text was met with a ‘not today’ but that’s not the Bullseye way. All in all a good run, looking forward to warmer mornings soon.

  • Ice Ice Running

    YHC and Bullseye met at Reds, one by foot and one by vehicle, to locate the least icy roads around the AO. Salisbury to Kentford, Queenswood over Helmsley, some side loops here and there on clearer roads, back to start for 4 miles.

  • Reds Routes Version #11

    New AO, new running routes. This time Bullseye led us through the golf course for a bit and then over to Kentford, back to Stonegate, located the path back to the golf course to the clubhouse and back to the AO. 4ish miles traveled by AO runners, Bullseye picked up some more running to and fro.

  • Merger

    YHC wasn’t sure if he’d make it to River Run with the Patriots playing the Wildcard round Sunday night game. At 5:15 AM, the flare was sent that I’d arrive on time, but Bullseye wasn’t in sight at the AO.

    Out Helmsley to Brigstock to Kentford, across the golf course and down Banstead and wait….another runner at the intersection! As fate would have it, there was Bullseye. We then trekked another mile or two until YHC’s stomach gave out around mile 3.5. Bullseye carried the torch on for an unknown amount of distance thereafter.

  • The New ‘River Run’

    River Run, or Lake Run, or Salisbury Run. A new beginning for the few of us that attend. It was decided new routes were desired so Bullseye and YHC met at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer or Reds the last few outings and found the terrain and options to be welcoming. We’ll meet there for the foreseeable future. The River is still within reach, 4miles, so the name can stick as far as I care.

    Getting used to the new routes, it was a 4ish mile jaunt around Salisbury including a few holes on the golf course.

  • Downrange Salisbury?

    YHC and Bullseye connected to run a different route this holiday season. Meeting at the Church of the Redeemer, which is fitting for the luminary lighting that occurs on Christmas Eve running from the neighborhoods to the church. 4.3 miles logged for me, Bullseye ran to and from for over 6 probably. Nice morning for a job through the hood. Merry Christmas y’all.

  • Frosty Run

    It was cold that day, COLD I tell you. Bullseye and YHC headed to the flats of Riverdown until YHC had to reroute the course for a warmer restroom. 4ish miles.

  • Running on Empty

    No ties to the run itself, just seemed like a classic name for a F3 run. YHC had Grinch-esque ideas of running a Tarrington loop so off we went. The route was not disclosed until the hill was underway. Ha, got em. 4.35 miles in total up Tarrington and through Powderham -> Brigstock, Solstice -> Twin Team and home.

    Stay safe.
