2 DaVillians showed up for Tomato Run, so here’s what happened. We ran 100 sprints, did 50 merkins in between each one, so 5000 merkins which means we won the challenge with over 10 days left….then ran 5 miles at a 4:30 pace (we were tired from all the merkins).
After all of that, we ran/walked about 3 miles. And commented on feeling like it seemed to be 30 degrees, not 40.
You weren’t there, can’t prove YHC wrong. 🙂
As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing.
A solo runner decided to run in the rain today. Easy run, 2 loops around the schools for a total of just over a 5k. Also added 25 Merkins after every mile and at the end.
YHC and Mudface, and no one else, hauled ourselves to Tomato Run for one last lazy Monday. We rucked/walked about 3 miles.
NMS – YHC and Mudface signed up for the Rugged Maniac 5K obstacle course on 5/4/19, and need to start running rather than rucking to prepare, so today was the last non-running TR for us. Halcyon days indeed. Any F3 brothers who want to join us for the Rugged Maniac, please contact myself or Mudface.
As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing.
3 Davillians arrived to winter like temperatures for another addition of the Tomato Run.
Mudface and No Idea did their 3 mile walk/ruck up and down the trails.
YHC tried something new. Out across Atlee station rd up to the Bojangles. Cut across the Kroger parking lot and out to Chamberlayne briefly then right back onto old Atlee Station. Left into Craney Island Estates (the home of The Carpenter and Opus) then stop at The Carpenter house for 25 SSH’s. Loop up the neighborhood to Opus’ house for 25 Smurf jacks. Head back to Atlee station then back to the HS for 3.5 mile. Finish with 5 minutes of Sprints in the parking.
It was good to get back for run either of it was almost freezing.
SPIT ON THAT!!
YHC and Mudface did our usual 3 miles, him rucking and YHC slacking. Didn’t see anyone else in the gloom, apologies if we missed you. Mumblechatter was about our looking forward to the cooler temps and other things. It’s also getting to be the time where we’ll need the headlamp just to keep from falling over roots et. al. as we traverse the trails.
As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing.
2 davillians posted this morning for a Tomato Run but neither knew the other was there until halfway through.
YHC started out a lonely run in the midst of the mist at around 5:30. Behind school, honey meadows, KC, turn around and head back. Got to back of CSES and said Hi to this crazy guy walking the other way. Mudface! Joy abounded as we met up and leisurely made it back to Atlee.
Numbers, Names, etc.
NMS — Unbeknownst to Mudface, YHC had been trying to figure out the best place to ‘let nature do its due diligence’ back behind the Atlee complex somewhere. When Mudface came along and the pace lessened, the urge went away thankfully. No poop for you.
See you in the gloom!
3 Davillians stumbled out of the fartsack and put in some miles this morning, and it seems like fall may be starting to make it’s presence known, as temps weren’t feeling bad at all. YHC and Mudface did our normal ruck walk for a little over 3 miles, while Phonics put in a skosh over 5 miles of running. YHC apologizes, but I have no clue about Phonic’s route. Mudface and YHC did our typical behind the schools and into Honey Meadows loop, had to skip the trail today, unfortunately.
As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing.
5 DaVillans arrived at a much needed cooler start of the week to get in some miles
Routes were as follows:
Mudface and No Idea headed out for their 3 Mile ruck. They did hit the trails which they mentioned later was a bad idea.
Rounders, Mayhem, and YHC headed out onto Atlee Station and over the bridge. Mayhem got behind and decided to head back for a couple laps around the parking lot. Rounders and YHC turned back at the Bojangles, check on Mayhem, then headed for a loop around the schools and part of Honey Meadows to get close to 4.25 miles.
We got a late start to due to MudFace being a LIFO but still managed to keep a 8:40 pace.
Glad to have Rounders and Mayhem out for their first post at Tomato Run
4 Runners and 2 Ruckers arrived at Atlee high school for the finally bro code run of the summer (or so we thought).
This how it went down:
Ruckers – Completed their normal route out to Honey Meadow and back for about 3 miles
Runners – Bridge is not completed so time for a new route. Leave the school head left onto Atlee Station, up and over the bridge left onto Barnfield Ln, left onto Rutlandshire Dr, right onto Combs Dr, Right onto Cool Spring Rd, Left into Cool Springs West, take a loop around the subdivision, head across Cool Spring Rd onto Hughesland Rd.
At this point we ran into some other F3 brothers that live in Rutland that have their own neighborhood run so we joined their PAX. Turn around on Hughesland Rd, Right onto Nolanwood Dr, Left onto Crestland Dr.
Then we hit the paved trail which leads us back into Cool Spring West. Did a loop on the trail then split off from the Rutland crew and headed right onto Cool Spring Rd. Back over the bridge to complete 5.5 miles and a little overtime run of 51 minutes
Well this wasn’t YHC orginal plan for the run but sure did enjoyed it. Glad to have Honey Do out in Daville once. We will see you again on Friday from the sounds of it.
The plan was to have a Bro Code run today but Lab Rat’s fresh leg and Phonics pushing the pace, the run became a little longer and a little faster than what YHC had anticipate.
It was good to run with the Rutland crew for a little bit. This maybe become a regular things on Mondays (we will have to see).
Mumble chatter seemed to focus around the upcoming convergences and some of the PAX stories from recently tour stops. Also unanimous decision has been made to plan to stop by Bojangles for some BoBerry biscuits next time.
4 men rejected the fartsack and figured out a new traffic pattern to make it to Tomato Run.
The two visitors put in 5.5 miles going behind the school and through Honey Meadows. YHC and Mudface again missed the trails due to rain, and figured out we haven’t been able to do them at all this summer. YHC got the Q because when Mudface asked “Who’s got the Q today?” YHC answered “I’ve got no idea” then immediately face palmed. oh well.
It was good to see Rosie again and meet Swiper, hope to see you guys at the Convergence on Labor Day!
