5 Davillians enjoy a warm but windy Thursday morning for a run. Route included Rutland and the Cool Spring West loop to get in 4 miles

Great pace put in by all

SPIT ON THAT!!

9 Runners/Ruckers got lucky with no rain and temps near 70 for the Thursday Run.

YHC told the crew back to a loop we did a few month ago which included the Townhouse next to the YMCA, going behind Kroger then through the main parking lot, a loop around the Rutland Townhouse then down to Rutlandshire with a cut through the trail to our began our normal loop around Rutland/Knollwood. Distances varied from 4 to 4.75 miles

Ruckers did their thing getting there early and Rucking where ever

SPIT ON THAT!!

5 Davillians braved the rain to enjoy some warmer weather for a run

Route included going over the fly over to Giles, down through Giles into Craney Island to back large hill, loop around the other half Craney Island for some more up and down hills before returning to Atlee Station road. Back over the fly over and to the parking lot for 5 miles

Got in about 125 ft of total ascent today. Not bad considering the weather

SPIT ON THAT!!

YHC had a new 5 mile route planned for today. Rolled into the lot and Yardsale and No Idea started earlier on the Ruck walk both sporting their 40# pack. 3 more posted to run so YHC and Marco Polo ran about a 9 minute/mile pace and Mr Holland and Opus ran about a 9:15/min mile pace. Our route started with the reverse Bo Jangle’s loop over the tracks behind Atlee, Chickohominy Middle and Cool Spring Elementary to Honey Meadows, up the hill by the clubhouse into Taylor farms. Marco Polo and YHC ran on the trail route past the Schools over the Bridge and past the starting point for another 10th of a mile to get just over 5 miles. Mr Holland and Opus stayed on the main roads and logged in just over 5 miles also. We rolled into our Rucker’s posting promptly at 6:15.

Numberama, Namerama, Yardsale took us out in prayer this morning.

Great run this morning with Marco-Polo. Have a great day gents and I will see you in the gloom. Cheers…CB!

We had a couple of brothers show up early for a Ruck walk and 4 of us posted for a run. Marco Polo logged in 5 miles. This one was a mostly down hill route with 2 good sharp hills to climb for a nice run workout. This route was a little over 4 miles for Mr Holland, Spit and Corned Beef. Yard sale and No Idea did a ruck walk and logged in about 3.5 miles.

Great run gents and I will see you in the gloom, cheers…CB!

YHC had the Q for Tomato run and wanted to review a route that can be confusing for travelers, even the locals may miss a turn or two. We have been having a group of ruck folks show up at 5am so YHC came to a lot with some cars present for this event and they were well into the workout. Mr Holland showed up and we began our run right at 5:30. This route took us through three different communities and was a relatively flat route and we ran about a 9:15 minute mile pace. We returned to the Rutland clubhouse and met up with Marco Polo who ran 5 miles. We ran 4.3 miles the ruck walkers showed up and they logged about 3.5 miles total.

Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

Great mumblechatter this morning when everyone gathered around at the end of the workout, we discussed the upcoming 1/2 marathon that is coming up in early April. If you are interested in signing up we have a team and so far it is Corned Beef, Spit, Bulkhead, Opus, Doozy that have signed up and Mr Holland is looking to register. Anyone that may be reading this back blast and is interested can contact Spit for more details.

Announcement – We will be hosting a 2nd F event at the PBR located on Route 301 starting @ 5:30 and going until 7:30. We look forward to seeing you there if you can make it.

Nice run this morning see you in the gloom, Cheers…CB!

7 Davillians enjoyed the almost 70 and sunny Thursday morning for another run. Route was a little bit different start first crossing Altee running pass the YMCA doing a loop around the townhouse then running behind Kroger. Cross back over Atlee and a loop around the Rutland Townhouses then a loop around PBR and the library before heading back into to Rutland to hit part of the trail. Finished with what a loop round Rutland to get between 4 to 4.5 miles

Corned Beef showed off his tuck and roll skills after tripping on a man hole. Luckily no injury this time

SPIT ON THAT

We had 10 brothers show up this morning for a Ruck walk or Run this morning. The Ruck walk folks (Yardsale, Biebs, Mudface and No Idea) were 4 total and they started at 5 am and logged in 4 miles. YHC had a routes scoped out for a little over 4 miles that Bulkhead, Opus, Handshake and YHC ran. Spit and Marco Polo ran 5 miles taking the Bojangles loop to get there.

YHC was able to run with Handshake on a faster pace for 4.16 miles at 8’49″/ mile and was a nice cool morning for this run route.

Numberama (2 times) and Namerama, Marco Polo took us out in prayer.

It was great to run as a group and missed Mr Holland who has been posting regularly for our run workouts. Have the perfect 10 people show up for Tomato Run and Ruck shows that the word is getting out. We would love to have others show up from SOJ, Westside and downtown. Great to see you Handshake and look forward to seeing you again soon! Great convo and we may start having coffee on a tailgate(stealing this idea from Tryhard) too for those that can hang for a bit…stay tuned and we look forward to seeing you in the gloom.

It is always an honor to lead, have a great day gents…Cheers…CB

6 Davillians made it out for the mid week run. The F3 App said sunny and 70 but in our weather app said otherwise. The warmer temp was nice and light rain changed that. Still the PAX got after it today

Route – Reverse Rutland loop and finish with the Bojangles loop.

Marco Polo and Hash lead the PAX with 5 miles. Corned Beef kept the leaders within sight and got in 4.5ish. YHC took a detour and ran part of the Knollwood loop instead of Bojangles and got in 4.4 miles. Mr Holland and Opus got in around 4.3

SPIT ON THAT!!

YHC rolled up to see a couple of gents ready for the run for the morning, we had 3 walkers post @ 5am so they could get in a long walk to return by 6:15 at the clubhouse. It was definitely COLD this morning that the runners started immediately once we arrived…did not have time to open the hand warmers…just get moving. YHC had to modify route to a 4.3 mile route with a slower 9:30 + / mile pace. The route had some gradual declines followed by a long steady climb for about 2 miles. Great mumblechatter and was nice to catch up with some brothers that have not posted for a run AO in awhile. The ruckers logged in 4.5 miles this morning. They got to a Lake one they had not seen before, initially thought they were lost; however, soon were able to orienteer to where they had a route to return to the clubhouse…that had to be some good mumble chatter for sure.

Numberama, Namerama, No Idea took us out in prayer.

We had a new guy post (Justin) with the Ruckers this morning as he wanted to get a ruck walk in, he is not sure on returning back so we will see if he posts next week and we will officially give him a name. What first came to mind for the group was the Biebs (Justin Bieber)…so we shall see.

An honor to lead a route today and look forward to seeing you in the gloom…Cheers…CB!
