Sunday night a warning shot was fired that Wedding Singer would not be running. 5:30 and the only 2 standing watch are Bullseye and YHC After a bit of discussion an easy route was requested and YHC thought why not go through Terrington (via a visit to the park first) but stay on the high side of the pool house. Note to self, the POOL HOUSE is smack dab in the middle of the hill. All the way to Robious, cross to the opposite side where we no longer have to look for a clearing due to some tree removal.…

3 RR Regulars picked up a hitchhiker on the frosty roads of Salisbury 5:30 PAX of 3 set out to climb Twin Team and head out E Brigstock for out and back Along the way YHC was just a bit ahead of Singer and Bullseye when a lone runner going the opposite direction passed. As usual YHC said good morning but didn’t hear a response, not unusual for 27 degrees and before 6 A.M. however when YHC turned back to meet up with the other two, the PAX had grown from 2 to 3 and the familiar voice of Don…

4.5 mile run around Weaver, through River Downs North, and into. Stone Harbor. Out and back. Tough conversations this morning. Singer lost a friend, Andrew, this weekend after a long fight with cancer. Prayers for Andrew’s wife and 3 children. Prayers for Singer as well.

5 Easy ridders drove into River Run to see what was the flattest easy post half marathon route YHC could come up with. BWES to Robious, take a right past the new Wawa to the bridge before 288 reverso left at the JRHS baseball fields and the back way to BWES and around the school to get 4 miles. OC did his own thing with a weighted vest, PAX caught up with him coming out of the Gloom wearing all black and having no light. He just appeared like out of a bad horror movie from the mid 90’s. Numbers…

Four southsiders arrived at BWE to discuss routes and off to Powderham we went. 4s – Twin Team to Caward, loop around Powderham, right on Ellesmere to Brigstock and back. Doozy added some extra out and backs with the 4s. Don’t get lost. OC rucked. His foot hurts. Good time gents, keep after it. Thanks to the Vets. Prayers for those in need. -Singer

3 HIM showed up to River Run for chilly morning run. Doozy gave his disclaimer that he would be leaving us in the dust and to not wait around for him for COT. With no route mapped out YHC and Lone Wolf decided to use our go-to plan, which is to just run around somewhere for 45 minutes until we make it back to the flag. Mission accomplished. Names/Numbers/YHC took us out Prayers for Wedding Singer and his recovery from surgery What a beautiful morning! With the cooler temps its been a struggle getting out of bed. I also think…

It was a basic triple check at River Run this morning. Each of us thinking they were the only ones that where going to be there this morning, surprised by the fact that the other showed up. YHC had just run a half marathon on Saturday and Singer has surgery around 8:30 today. The PAX of 3 decided it would be best if we kept it short and flat, the route started as down to the river up to James River HS, right on Robious. Bullseye suggested a turn into River Downs North and the trail at the back which…

Headed left out of Weaver and looped through JRHS back to Robious. Right into Riverdowns North, left on Forest Creek, and another left on Lenox Forest. Cross Robious into Kings Farm. Turn around at Riverdowns South, just before hitting roller coaster, and reverse back to Weaver. 4+ total. Doozy hung with us while tapering for another half this weekend. Good luck Doozy. Good conversations this morning. Prayers and quick healing for Singer as he heads into surgery on his elbow next week.

YHC and House Party arrived at River Run with no others and no Q, so YHC had the bright idea to run the old Terrington route. It is just one hill but it’s a long hill that never seams to end. Cross Robious, down Twin Team, through the JRHS lot and BTTF circle the school to make it a 4 mile run. Numbers / Names YHC took us out NMS: With the Holiday weekend the numbers where probably small at most AO’s. I’m glad House Party showed up because at least 2 need to share in that kind of suckyness.

3 Rage Against the Machine ragers and YHC came out of the Gloom to run the hills around BWES this morning. YHC called the SOJ 5 fingers route and away we went. The route was River Downs to the stop sign take a left up the big hill, turn around to the stop sign take a right and another right at the next cul de sac up and back. Around to Twin Team up and down cross Robious and up and down the two Cul de Sacs on the right YHC did not see the others the rest of the…
