Feeling like it would be a solo run this morning, YHC took off from the house early enough to arrive at the AO before launch just in case someone showed up. Parking lot was empty so after a loop around it was off to Tarrington, up Ashwell, across Robious and back to the house. Decided to run back down Twin Team in honor of Rosie’s Trick or Treat workout. Still what goes down must come back up, and so the lounge-esque act of running down Twin Team was rewarded by running back up Ashwell. And it was wet, very wet.…

We’ve all been there, trying to rush out the door for a workout and the keys are nowhere to be found. Doozy sent the 5:15 AM text to YHC as he frantically searched the house. Figured he’d catch up with Bullseye and I so basic directions were provided and sure enough, after keys secured, the River Runners met out on the route. 4 miles achieved around River Downs. Today’s topic of conversation – medical procedures. -Singer
YHC woke his 2.0 up for this mornings workout and we arrived to find 3 more runners and 6 more ruckers to have a large crowd of 11 this cool morning for a run and ruck session. Runners immediatley took off to runa 4 – 4.5 mile route this morning. Ruckers launched and we picked up Bulkhead on the way to tour the Rutland area homes with some great Halloween Lights. We saw one house celebrating Diwali – the festival of lights, so a great morning for a Ruck. We finished with 2.5 miles this morning. Great to see Winchester…
Good thing I had Rosie and Bullseye with me today or I would have been lost. Revisiting google maps, the route went something like this: Down Mount Midlo, around the lake (called Loch Lothian?! Great name by the way), out Midlo Mines Park to Kingham Drive. Left on Grove Hill up to Coalfield, left then right on Manders Dr. Right on Charter Colony, right on Charter, right on Woolridge, left on Coalfield and back to start. 4.5ish miles according to the route but watches were defunct for various reasons. Nice run today fellas, appreciated the conversation and pace. -Singer
Wanted to start by paying respect to YHC’s fantasy football team, which was unceremoniously eliminated from the F3 Guillotine League this week. Until next year! Now onto the workout at hand……………5 of us gathered at Midlothian Middle School for the latest edition of Miles of Truth. Could not have asked for better running weather! My instructions were incredibly concise. We started out on Mt. Pisgah road and made our way onto Coalfield Road to the YMCA. The route took us down the hill to Midlothian Mines Park. One loop on the trail, then back up the hill to Midlo Tnpk,…
After an IronPAX induced break from The Graveyard Shift, we were back at it today. Descending to the crisp and cool track a Swift Creek Middle, we hit a track workout that went something like this: 1 mile warm up 1k at 7:15 pace half lap walk 200m at 6:30 pace half lap rest repeat the last two 5 times 1 mile cool down Great to get back out there and work on some speed with Big Rig. Last rep we really went for it. Some discrepancies on how fast we went. As an old guy it felt fast to…
3 HIM met at the Alamo to go for a little before sunrise jog around the treyborhood. 4th HIM upon fart sacking met the cohort mid way through the endeavor. He was dressed in all white and appeared out of the morning mist. It was like Gandalf the white in lord of the rings. Quite the sight. The PAX pressed on completing 5 miles. The Q might have gone over the standard 45 minute time limit, but as his wife tells him it’s always better to last a little longer than required than not long enough. Overall great run. More…
Knew I might be solo today so I opted to run from the house at 5:20 down to the AO. Couple swings through the parking lot around 5:30. No one showed, continued to run through the Tarrington hood back over Robious to Twin Team and home. 4 miles as usual. Minimal mumble chatter. Nice morning for a run. -Singer
At least that’s what it felt like… until we arrived back at the flag with fewer miles than expected. Next time we’ll be faster.
Excellent cool weather for the latest edition of Morning Wood. House Party and I hit the streets with our ruck sacks at 6am and got in some miles. Big Rig was already running upon arrival and ventured down to the Genito Road Corridor. He joined us for the last 15 minutes or so. Post-workout survey suggested that a good time was had by all.
