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.

The Hunt For Pavement
I was cruising down Courthouse Road at 5:50 am, and passed a couple of dudes running – who could possibly be out at this hour on a major thoroughfare? Of course, it was Big Rig and Boberry. They linked up with us briefly at the park, then continued on their journey.
Woodsman and I rucked through Rockwood for an hour, and checked out potential ice free spots for the workout.
Post-workout surveys suggested that a good time was had by all. -
Tres Amigos Running
Bullseye, Rosie and YHC took off for the streets of Midlothian without a care or clue in the world. After a short jaunt up west on Midlo we opted for a giant loop – Charter Colony, Woolridge, Mount Midlo and home, for 4ish miles.
Late posting this one so that’s about all I can recall. We ran, we saw, we conquered.
Draper is allergic to us and working out at the moment.

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.

Ice Road Runners
Thankfully no one fell off the road on this morning’s episode of Ice Road Runners.
Bullseye and YHC conversed in the evening, felt starting from the AO would be fine, and knew we’d provide Doozy with some company before and after the workout.
Due to the icy conditions and secondary roads not being plowed, not even Coalfield and Charter Colony, we took off east on Midlothian and quickly located Old Buckingham which was safe to run on and then found a unicorn in Unison Drive, salted and clear as a summer day with no traffic. Out two, back two, solid 4 miles.
Coffee at Starbucks with the SOT gents was welcomed by all.

Iron Ralk
One hairy Beaver emerged from the gloom for a run/walk among the icy fjords of Pine Fork Park to begin late preparation of the Frozen Triangle. With ice on his beard, and shins a burning, he managed to give thanks to the Sky Q and log a 5k! Let’s get after it this week men!

Tomato Commitment
We had one show up for the run and 2 ruck this morning. We did about 2.25 miles towards Kroger and around to clubhouse to finish and runner ran 4 miles this morning going over bridge to community around the Baptist Church and returned including the Bojangles Loop.
Numberama/namerama – Bam took us out in prayer.
Great ruck with Bulkhead this morning and we were talking about business where things have to be done right with no room for mistakes in new business arena.
Great workout this morning gents see you in the gloom soon.
Cheers….CB!

The Three Stooges
Guess I’ll write this backblast, hopefully Draper doesn’t as well.
A non-Salisbury route was selected to change things up, Bullseye recommended the mines and YHC offered up an old Off the Books route down Coalfield, Draper helped on the finer details. Down Coalfield, dropped into The Grove over to the cut through to Midlothian Mines, around the lake and up Mount Midlo home. Total a little over 4 miles.
Good conversation was had. Three Stooges title, which I’m sure has been used before, came as car stopped to enter a parking lot, waiting for us to cross, and we couldn’t have handled much worse trying to avoid a collision with the car and ourselves. It was comical.

Where is Upchuck?
I am outside a hotel in Florida and he is not here. I run up and down Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd and can’t find him. I also have some older lady stop me and ask “you look like someone who reads books about WWII history”.
Is that an insult or a pickup line? And just like Las Vegas in the good old days, she hands me a card. But this time it hypes up her book “The Navigators Letter” and not a strip club. Preorders available now as jancressdondi.com. I am able to navigate back to the hotel and will head back to RVA tonight.

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.
