  • At least I am faster than Marv

    Three studs posted on a cold Wednesday evening for a hill run.  Husky and Kubota rocked out two laps in the cold and learned a valuable lesson: gloves and face coverage in the cold is important at night in the winter.  TYA posted and an hour later and hit two long plus a short loop.  Fun was had by all.

    Ok, a week is far too long for a backblast posting, but there is always an upside to everything.  Marv would have not even had an inkling to post a backlblast a mere week late.

    TYA OUT

  • Back on the Roller Coaster

    4 studs posted for the Wed night hill run (Roller Coaster) and here is how it went down.

    Kubota and Husky – 2 short loops

    Swirly – 3 long loops

    TYA – 2 Long loops

    All at different launch times 🙂

    Great job guys – beautiful night for a run. See y’all in the gloom

  • Wednesday Hill Ruck

    Two boys named Applewhite, one born and raised in Courtland, VA and the other born and still being raised in RVA, posted for the Wednesday Hill Run/Ruck.

    YHC decided to put on the ruck sack and give it all he had for a short loop.  Husky led the way and ran as fast as YHC has ever seen him.  13.30 pace is not bad with 35lbs on the back.  Husky got a 13.00 pace!  We hit another short loop taking it easy by walking and jogging with the ruck sack still on and then called it a day.

    Only a couple more Wednesday’s until the time changes and darkness takes over the Hill Run.

    See ya in the gloom!

  • CSAUP Preview/Wednesday Hill Run

    One Upper Middle-Ager, One Lower Middle-Ager and One Very Young attacked most of the CSAUP loop at Forest Hill Park for the Wednesday Hill Run/Roller Coaster.

    TYA was playing tour guide, YHC was rucking with 30 lbs sack and Husky ran/walked the 3 mile loop!

    This was YHC and Husky’s first time at the Forest Hill Park trail and it was amazing!  YHC thought it couldn’t get any better than North Bank/Buttermilk, but FHP is so much better.

    YHC thinks that TYA was getting his game plan ready for CSAUP, studying the trail, looking for advantages and setting booby traps for other contestants.

    Good luck to all at CSAUP!

  • TYA, Kubota, Wheelbarrow, Husky

    Four converged on Hillcrest this evening for the following:

    Husky – Some running on the medium loop but mostly walking and playing.  Hillcrest has some nice crunchy leaves in the road that are very enticing for a 6 year old to stomp on.

    Kubota – Mostly running, turning back for Husky (no 2.0 left behind) and then some much needed hill repeats.

    Wheelbarrow – Several different loops.  He’s glad to be back out at it this week!

    TYA – On the bike again, killing it!  Went somewhere for 45-60 minutes.  YHC is hopeful he made it back home!  Lots of traffic and wrecks around the Cary Street corridor this evening.

    Swirly – Bleeder must have called a late afternoon meeting in order to slow Swirly down and get him some rest!

    Daylight is fading quickly on the Wednesday Hill Run.  Come out while you can before headlamps are needed!

    See you in the gloom!

  • (John) Deer watching Kubota

    3 runners, 1 rider, and a 2.0 hit the roller-coaster in the Wednesday evening heat.

    Kubota and Husky did a loop then went off to church. YHC did 3 loops, each loop seeing more deer. Lug and TYA were not spotted but vehicles were spotted by YHC.

  • Father/Son Hill Run

    Husky and Kubota kept the Roller Coaster AO alive this evening with a Father/Son jaunt through TYA’s neighborhood.

    We did two short loops with a 1/4 mile offshoot each time for about 2 slow and easy miles.

    It was slightly hot and humid and the mosquitos made there presence known.

    BRR runners were evidently getting ready for their trip and possibly tapering and resting their legs.

    Go Get ‘Em Boys!
