  • Thick as pea soup

    On a foggy morning, 8 gentlemen came out to run, walk and ruck at various different paces and routes.

    No one got too lost.

  • 55 and Sunny

    3 Ruckers and 4 Runners enjoy fall like temps for a prefect morning for a ruck/run

    Runners – Rutland Loop + Cool Spring Forest Trail + Bojangles Loop (1/4, 1/2, or whole) to between 3 and 4.5 miles

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Back In The Saddle

    After a 2 week hiatus, YHC return to F3 and was welcomed by 3 other Davillians and 2 Summer Tourist

    Here is how it went down

    Runners – Completed loops around Atlee Station road from the light at Chamberlayne to the light at the top of the fly over. YHC got in around 3.5 miles while Phonics and Trout finished with the Bojangles loop getting in around 4.5 miles

    Ruckers – Bulkhead took our Tourist around Rutland and Sancerre getting in around 2.5 miles

    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!!

  • Early risers beat the storm

    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.

    COT – Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Yard Sale took us out.

    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.

    Gotta Run!

    Phonics

  • Does it count??

    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.

  • Seems like 1796

    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.

    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!

    Phonics

  • Could be 4, could be 5

    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.

  • Blimey!

    2 runners and 1 rucker came out to enjoy the humidity

    Great times had by all except for the rucker who might have gotten lost.

  • Missed Tuesday, No Problem

    4 Runners and 3 Ruckers enjoyed a spring like morning at the end of May for their Thursday miles

    Runners heading over to Atlee HS for a loop around then headed back or added a Bojangles loop if they could for 3.5 to 4 miles

    1 Rucker got the 5 am start in and the other join in at 5:30 with their traditional loops around Rutland

    T-Claps to Trail Mix for push hard through the run and not giving up!

  • Just Beat It

    5 Runners and 3 Ruckers arrived at Rutland this morning.

    Runners did a reverse Rutland loop adding in Knollwood and a trail cut through to the Bojangles loop. Runners kept it to most. Bro code running getting in 3.5 to 4 miles

    Ruckers did their thing but mostly stayed around the Rutland loop (as observed by the runners)

    T-Claps and an official re welcome to Beat It (formally known as Brownie) is posting his 4 post in 6 days!!

    Spit On That!!
