  • I’m not going to ask you to do this stupid stuff

    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 with weighted vest, walk 1 lap. BTTF

    Singer’s plan: Mosey to the track 1 lap fast, 1 lap mosey Repeto 4 miles total

    YHC took longer than 45 minutes so there was no Ball O Man

  • The most boujee bathrooms south of the James or The Credo

    5 intrepid warriors of the gloom started their week off right. 2 opting for the challenge that is Twin Team, repeatedly. 3 chose to follow the F3 credo. They left no man behind, and left no man where they found him. Some discovered that the bathrooms of James River High School are heated. All pax got in right around 4 miles. Great work today! Thanks for rolling with me Doozy! Nice to see and catch up with Johnsonville a bit. Numbers names, announcements. YHC took us out. The centuryish classic round 2 will be the first Friday and Saturday of May, start thinking about teams, it will be mostly running with a little rucking.

  • Powderham Loops

    All three opted for a 4-mile route this AM so off to Powderham we went. Up Twin Team, Cawood over to the loop, once around and back over to Brigstock via Ellesmere. Return home for a little extra credit for around 4.3 miles.

    Good to have Lug back out these past few weeks, and good to catch up with House Party.

  • Slider Belly Run

    How many sliders did you consume yesterday? AND is that Lug Nut?!

    5 strong made it out after a terrible Super Bowl, unless you’re an Eagles or Kendrick Lamar fan I guess. With various types of snacks still in our bellies, YHC decided on a route close to various types of bathrooms – down to the park and back around the school twice for 4 miles.

    Good to see Sanchez in week 2. Another newbie joined us for their inaugural River Run outing – Orby. Way to go gents.

  • Doozy’s Bridge to King Something

    8 strong including an FNG at the latest edition of River Run! The following is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

    The PAX completed an out and back route that took us over to JRHS. Run a lap around the track, then take the trail that connects to River Downs. Apparently Doozy built the bridges – who knew? Left on River Downs, then right on a street with the name “King” in it. Left on Robious, circle back and repeat after 22.5 minutes or so. We all made it back alive.

    Final Thoughts: Great effort by all the runners this morning! We managed to avoid any large hills – which may have been by design. Welcome Sanchez! He is a neighbor of Wedding Singer and a Jets fan. Butt Fumble was ruled out as we are hoping to have him come back. House Party had a near fall on some roots on the trail – I feel like that is a bit of a pattern. Props to the Middle School crew for getting up early and putting in some work.

  • Three Amigos Run

    We came, we saw, we conquered. 4 mile route, Doozy hung with the slow guys today. Mumble chatter was at its finest.

    MLK Day – do something nice for someone today (or everyday).

  • There’s Ice on the left of the hill

    3 regulars in the cold with no real direction to go. YHC grabbed the open Q because there was a high probability that he would not attend the below freezing run after fartsacking the entire last week.

    YHC needs to increase miles so Singer and Bullseye were sent of by JRHS and into River Downs to get in their usual 4 miler. YHC went to the park back by JRHS to the light at Robious & Winterfield, turn back roller coaster at Riverdowns BTTF for 6 miles

    YHC was a touch late getting back to the flag but the boys where still there waiting for me YHC took us out

    NMS: Passes Singer and Bullseye, they where coming out of RiverDowns as YHC was going in when Bullseye warned me about the ice on the hill half way up but YHC had headphones on and didn’t quite understand what he was saying until said ice patch was encountered. Luckily no one was injured in the running of the hill today.

  • Solo at River Run

    Bullseye braved the elements and made the trip out to River Run on a wet and slushy Monday morning. All others on the group chat remained silent in advance of the snow storm to hail all snow storms (in the past few years).

    Bullseye mentioned not ringing up the back blast for it so YHC is helping big data.

  • Solo Bro Code

    At an AO that had a rough 2024 (taken off the Q sheet and then back on), YHC posted for the last run of the season and found that it would be a you vs you day. 70 and sunny, so lets get going, to the park back out through JRHS, to River Downs, out RD to Twin Team, cross over to Terrington for an easy 8 miles at a 9ish minute pace.

    See you next year River Run

  • Christmas Eve Eve Run

    7 or so ascended upon River Run for a holiday run through Powderham. And it was cold, cold, cold, cold, cold.

    Ruckers rucked.

    Runners ran up Twin Team and into Powderham, performed the loop back around to Ellesmere and through to Brigstock, back home. Doozy added some extra mileage.

    Beautiful morning for a run through the neighborhood. Great job gents. Hope everyone has (had) a safe and fun holiday.
