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.

NMS: YHC needed something light after a good weekend half marathon. That was the last race of the year for many of us, thanks to all the guys that have posted, encouraged and ran with YHC along the way. This year YHC completed 4 half marathons (5 if you include the Home Grown) along with Gypsy, we will be starting back up again in February if anyone is interested.

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.

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.

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 to myself sometimes that, hey, other guys will be there, they wont miss me. But what if all the Pax thought that way? The AO’s would be empty and guys would be posting alone. It would have been a lonely morning for one of us had Lone Wolf or I had not shown up for one another. This morning really made me think about how we not only show up for ourselves and and families, but for that guy standing right next to you. Its been great really getting to know Lone Wolf and on top of all that I had the privilage of celebrating his birthday with him this morning.

Happy Birthday Brother!

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 brought us out to Robious landing again.

All in all we got in 4 miles

NMS: The topics this morning were distance running and being able to carry on a conversation while training. Kids activities, parents that let their kids drink, RV parks / Halloween and last but not least that catch in the endzone for Washington this weekend. Topic not necessarily in that order.

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.

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 time and found out later that they didn’t take the left at the first stop sign so YHC was heading back out before they came back.

YHC had 5.15 on the GPS

NMS:

Doesn’t really matter where you run as long as you run, way to push guys

Five locals attended River Run for a non-river involved run. Routes were up Twin Team, down Brigstock, add Mount Hill Drive loop back to Brigstock, and continue down Brigstock until 22-24 minutes, return to start.

Thanks for continuing support of River Run. Pleasure was discussed in the avoidance of the 3:00 AM downpour, that would have been rough. Onward and upward my friends.

Seven locals attended River Run for a little (or long) jog through the streets of Midlothian. As Doozy presented, the route was chosen: Roller coaster. Otherwise if you felt compelled, Doozy provided a 10 mile route which all but himself politely declined.

The gaggle of Chaps made a strong appearance, leaving the fours in the dust at the hill. Chap’s going to have his hands full trying to keep the kiddos pace pretty soon. Lone Wolf, Bullseye and YHC puttered around for 42 minutes in varying paces but managed to log 4 miles.

Walking COT to end, trying out new things.

Quickly, the 10 year convergence was a sight to behold, brought back a lot of memories to see everyone at one event. Thanks to those who put it on. Congrats to Rosie overtaking the lead for our region, well deserved, and to Gomer for his services.
