  • Is It Fall or Is It a Hurricane

    5 Runners enjoy fall like weather thanks to Hurricane Idalia for a run around Atlee.

    Route – Loop down Rutlandshire Dr for a loop around the Atlee Library. Head up the road to Bojangles and turn into the Rutland Townhomes for a loop. Come out and across Atlee Rd to the Kroger parking lot for up and down then head around the back to the and loop around Rutland Village. Wrap up with the Bojangles loop to get in 4 miles with some adding a few loops around Rutland for 4.5+

    Glad to have Fannie Mae back out with us this morning

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • We Should EH That Runner

    3 Davillian Runners and 1 easy EHed runner, enjoyed fall like morning for another Davillian run day.

    Route – Revise traditional route with running the Cool Spring West loop (on the road), Knollwood, and returning via the Rutland loop for 4+ miles (depending on your GPS)

    What started as 3 runners became 4 about after the first 1.25 miles when the PAX was heading to the Knollwood loop with a head lamp heading to us which drawled the question “We should EH that guy!”. Turns out that was easy since it was Phonics who was a LIFO and started his run the traditional way.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS – Good Luck to those in the Pickleball Tourney this Saturday. Go Team Daville (Corned Beef/Bulkhead)

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Old People Talk

    3 runners and 2 ruckers explored the less swampy than usual twilight from the Rutland Clubhouse. Runners continued YHC’s exploration of the roads across Chamberlayne after discovering a cut through. This route seemed a bit easier to follow and had no off-leash dogs, making it a clear winner. Runners covered about 4.25 miles. Ruckers did not say how far they rucked. All of the old folks were too busy talking about cleaning out internal plumbing and dispensing medical advice. Announcements included the CSAUP running at Twin Team Saturday, the pickleball tournament, and the century bike ride. In addition, there is a second F this Monday at 6:00 at Dot’s Back Inn. The good Dr. Beef took us out. It was great spending some time with all of you respectable men this morning.

  • Lonely Rutland Ruck

    YHC posted at 5am this morning and was able to get in over 4.2 miles. It was a great time to reflect and appreciate cool weather returning from San Antonio, TX where the high temperatures were over 100 all week.

    Have a great day and I will see you in the gloom, Cheers…CB!

  • The Ocho

    On the day ESPN The Ocho started, 8 runners came out to Rutland CH for Thursday Runday

    Route was a traditional loop through the Craney Island Neighborhood for 4 miles or add the Bojangles loop to get 4.5+ miles and Mustang put in some OT and got 5+ miles

    Great to have large numbers again for a run and some of our newest PAX members out twice this week

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • New Route, Same Humidity

    YHC and 3 respected Pax members ran or rucked for about 4.5 miles through a soupy Mechanicsville morning. The runners ran across 301 and explored a couple new neighborhoods. They were nice, minus one off-leash dog. Opus took us out with prayers for a student at his school with cancer.

  • No Ruck Day

    Two DaVille Runners and YHC who decided to pace walk today made to it to Tomato Run this morning.

    YHC set a traditional route through Rutland, Knollwood, and Cool Spring West. The guys decided to add some trail run and got in close to 5 miles

    YHC who was sick earlier in the week didn’t feel up for a run so instead did a walk but keep under 15 min mile pace and got in 3 miles

    nice morning for both choices.

  • Swim Teams, HOA’s, and Trash Services

    3 runners and 2 ruckers got showed up for the second ruck and first run day of the week

    Runners Route – Head over to the trail in Cool Spring Forest West then turning around and come back. We did and run/walk to get in 3.75 miles

    Ruckers did their thing

    Title to the backblast said it all. Typical suburban Dad mumble chatter this morning

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Hot Potato Run

    YHC has been waiting for the chance for a hot potato run. Mr. Holland was good company as we navigated through the soupy air to the back of the new construction in Giles, returning via Craney Island Estates and Atlee Station,for between 4 and 4.5 miles. Two runners at the same pace made the hot potato route pretty simple to navigate, and we made it back to the start with a few minutes to spare. Corned Beef and Yardsale were organized and ready to go on their pre-planned ruck route, which means they made wrong turns, got maybe a bit lost, trespassed, met some chickens and a fortunately not-trigger-happy local resident, and were about 10-15 minutes late coming back to the start. YHC got in a bit more mileage looking for them. Numbers, names, and Yardsale took us out with a mention for our travelling Pax members.

  • Unannounced Route


    4 runners as well as 3 Ruckers came out for a unknown run

    ROUTE

    started with a little jog then stopping at the Atlee Library for sprints. Starting jogging again then other sprint stop at the Kroger parking lot. We then made 4 more stops at the Popeyes parking lot, Walgreens, cul-de-sacs off Rutlandshire and finished one last one at the clubhouse getting in still just under 4 miles

    Ruckers did their think

    Nice 2nd F in between sprints

    SPIT ON THAT!!
