Tropical Humidity

Ruckers did their thing around Rutland
Another solid run with YHC able to keep Phonics on pace for the 2nd time this week
Opus and BAM got in a little extra distance on the trail forgetting to turn earlier

I guess we’ll go this way…
Four started out from the Rutland clubhouse, but the only one with any sense of navigation quickly pulled out and went home with a back injury, leaving two guys who only just joined up with us, and…YHC.
If we’ve ever run together in DaVille, you will know that I absolutely do not know my way around, despite doing the same routes over and over for 3 1/2 years. But we made it back alive and on time, covering a little over 3.5 miles in total. Given the circumstances, I’d call that pretty damn impressive. But we all hope Opus recovers quickly, for his sake as well as our own.

Beat It & Bam write a Back Blast
It was one of those lonely parking lot mornings at 530am, still no one around. “Coming in hot? …. I guess not” said Beat It to himself, looking at his watch. A few stretches and an internal pep talk about the joys of solo running two minutes later, when Beat It’s hopes were lifted. A pair of headlights in the distance squealed to a stop & a figure emerged from an unknown car.
“Beaver, is that you?” From a distance, you gotta admit …
But it wasn’t Beaver. Daville’s finest new recruit from Shady Grove Methodist staff spoke from the Shadows “It’s me … BAM”“Who?”
A hearty 3.5 mi course with 1 mile on, 1 minute off, was the pace. Topics included “Who fooled you into coming out to F3?” “Why the name” “What actually works to change your diet” “What motivates you to run – 25 reasons but only 1 remains”
Great to meet BAM!
TRIVIA IS TONIGHT – 7PM – INTERMISSION NEXT TO THE TIRE SHOP

Language Lessons
Three ruckers and a runner posted on this Thursday to Rutland for the Tomato Run/Ruck. Since it was about 78 degrees and the runner was alone, he joined the ruckers to make it 4. They walked around Rutland discussing such topics as “Super Size Me” and what’s the difference between a dialect and a language. YHC learned quite a bit from Bulkhead on this topic.
COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, No Idea took us out.
NMS
Great seeing No Idea back out again. The runners had returned but seem to have forgotten about Thursdays. Maybe as it starts cooling down again.
Announcements:
This Saturday – The Bridge – Meet Corned Beef at 5:30 AM at Food Lion at Kings Charter
Next Saturday – 2.0 friendly workout at DaPile at 6:30 AM.
Gotta Run!

Learning about the ABCs
Two runners and Two ruckers posted on this Thursday to Rutland. Weather as always was perfect. The Ruckers journeyed throughout Rutland and possibly Cool Spring Forest. The Runners took a traditional route through Rutland, Cool Spring Forest, Knollwood, and Cool Spring North.
COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Yard Sale took us out.
NMS
Great having Speakeasy back out this morning. Enjoyed the discussion about the ABC stores as well as legal matters with beer, wine, and alcohol sales from the 1980s until today. It does appear that the cocktails to go law is permanent.
Gotta Run!

Convergence Pregame
Four ruckers and once again one runner posted on this sunny and 70 morning to Rutland. The ruckers likely did a loop around Rutland and Cool Spring Forest. The runner when to explore the trails at Atlee and Honey Meadows. YHC is still unsure what the semi-truck that was parked outside the YMCA entrance facing the wrong direction down Atlee Road was attempting to do. Luckily, one of Hanover’s finest was able to steer him in the correct direction.
COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Beat It took us out.
NMS
Even though YHC was solo today on the run, much was accomplished in preparation for tomorrow’s convergence at DaVille. We will be ready.
Announcements: July 4 convergence at DaVille at 7 AM. Tom’s Coffee is posting at 8 AM.
Gotta Run!

There has to be a path.
Three ruckers and Two Runners posted on this Thursday to Rutland for the sunny and 70 and humid morning. The runners ran for 20 minutes and then walked the rest of the time along a journey that took them into Rutland, Cool Spring Forest, and Cool Spring West and back to the AO. It is generally believed that the ruckers stayed around Rutland.
COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Corned Beef took us out.
NMS:
There has been quite a bit of curiosity with Daville as to what is being constructed behind the 55 and older community off Atlee Road. Recently, it has been announced that the YMCA is building playing fields there. On a Lewis and Clark discovery like mission, Spit and YHC wondered to the YMCA’s parking lot and discovered a trail with a bridge that went threw the woods to the new fields. It might add additional options for DaVille’s and DaPile’s bootcamps in the future.
Announcements:
Friday, July 4 – 7 AM – Convergence at Atlee High School
Gotta Run!
