5 Runners started their Thursday morning with a traditional run around Rutland and the trail of Cool Spring Forest.
2 Ruckers also did their thing with some laps round Rutland
1 runner showed up late and after the COT, a search party went out and the lost was then found
Hopefully the DaVille search and rescue will not be needed this Thursday

NMS – when YHC pulled into the parking lot at 5:28 not a car was in sight. YHC was worried it was going to be solo run, just YHC and Lulu. Luckily Phonics pulled in followed up Yard Sale and Trail Mix. No Idea and Bulkhead met during their Ruck to make a total of 6

Great to meet Choo Choo and Beaver this morning. Excited to hear they are looking to launch an AO in New Kent soon!
SPIT ON THAT!!
Four ruckers including one summer tourist and 4 runners converged at the Rutland Clubhouse for what was expected to be an extremely wet journey. The ruckers went just shy of 3 miles. The runners ran around Atlee High School and returned for about 3.5 miles.

NMS
Good showing for what was expected to be a hard morning of rain. As it turned out, the rain mostly missed us and only picked up as we were leaving. Great job DTH for your many trips to the north for the summer tour. Conversations included everything from homeschooling to how leg and hip pain can actually originate in a different part of the body.
Announcements
Well done PAX!
Gotta Run!
Phonics
Not sure if the Westhoe take over of Tomato Run counts when the locals Q-jack the route.
YHC spent a good amount of time mapping out a 5 mile route in the Rutland area making sure to memorize each turn and distance between..
Soooooooo when I got the AO and informed the locals, they all agreed: NOPE. That route will get you Run over.
There for… we followed Phonics on a Dora run that includes paths not on RunJoy mapping app. He did run me down to one of the roads on my map.. yup. Sure enough. Good call not running that road.
ok.. so anyway.. I don’t have a clue what roads we ran. But we ran and a backblast is posted. Some pax further than others and some Rucked. NO one was run over. The end.
Three runners and two ruckers took off this perfect morning for fellowship and some general exercise. The runners went somewhere around 4 miles (YHC never has a GPS watch) and the ruckers went a distance less than that. This is what occurred.
The runner’s route
Traditional Rutland to Cool Spring Forest to Knollwood to Cool Spring west route. Because of our casual pace today, the runners cut the route short and moseyed back to the VSF. The ruckers were arriving at exactly the same time.
COT – Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Beat It took us out.
NMS
Today’s backblast title come from the fact that today’s 4:54 PM summer solstice is the earliest it has occurred since 1796. Looking ahead, it will continue to occur earlier on the day on June 20 every leap year until the year 2100 when there will be no leap year. It’s takes 365.24 days for the Earth to orbit the sun which apparently explains why leap years as well as 2100 being a no leap year.
Beat It continues to impress. Well done again!

Gotta Run!
Phonics
Apparently 9 is the magic number for the Atlee area PAX when Doozy shows up to Q a run. Luckily Phonics was there once again to show me around.
Left on Combs, left on Atlee, to the stop light u-turn, to the road that goes around Atlee, back to Combs. into Cool Spring neighborhood for a loop, left on Combs
BTTF Numbers / Names Phonics took us out
NMS: YHC had an idea for a route but had no idea how far it would take us or if the roads where good for running on. Phonics was there once again to show YHC the way.
