    A big F3 welcome to Pablo — have a good race this weekend!

  • Same Three Dudes

    Where have all the Ruckers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the Ruckers gone. Long time ago. The same 3 teachers posted on this perfect day in Rutland for a slow 4.5 miles of a tapered run in preparation for Saturday’s River City Half. They discovered that from the distance of going from the AO and then instead of doing the full Bojangles loop but turning it into the townhomes and returning along Rutlandshire is 1 mile. Surprised all of us.

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

    NMS – Good luck for those running the River City Half on Saturday. Stay dry! Safe travels back Bulkhead. Hoping for a speedy recovery No Idea.

    Gotta Run!

  • Road trip to the land where people clap

    4 men gathered for this weeks Tomato Run/Tomato Ruck

    YHC and Mr. Holland went for a run. Good conversations about the art of various shapes and sizes, as well as never passing on rare opportunities when they present themselves.

    Corned Beef and Yardsale our voluminous and voluptuous brothers went for a Ruck.

    Announcements – Corned Beef said a 2nd F is coming up soon at PBR in Mechanicsville, but no date was given.

    Prayer Requests – Bulkhead/Bulkheads mother. Prayers for the family with his mothers recent cancer diagnosis.

    NMS – I always enjoy my trip to the north. I do find it a little weird that they clap instead of say hate for those in their 30’s.

  • 5 1 run

    3 runners showed up to do a 5 minute run, 1 minute walk this morning.

    4.4 miles
    run average was 8:45/mile
    overall average was 9:22/mile

    YHC has been having issues with his IT band on long runs so a few weeks ago decided to start a Galloway method type run/ walk. So far its been great. My IT band has held up and the runs have been amazing, knowing that a walk wasn’t that far away. I highly encourage people to try it!

  • Your Dad talks much louder than you

    A group of 9 including a down ranger from western VA + two four legged friend, enjoyed spring like weather for a Thursday edition of running/rucking in DaVille

    2 Ruckers and their four legged friend, got their 5 am start and circled back to pick up our down ranger from Roanoke. They then took Puffs on a tour around Rutland/Atlee HS.

    Runners and their four legged friend completed a traditional loop around Rutland and the full trail of Cool Spring Forest plus added some extra loops here and there to get in 4 to 5 miles.

    Glad to have Puffs join us down range this morning. Sounds like we will be seeing him again soon with is job bring him to the area for travel a few times a year

    Also glad to have Handshake back with us on a Thursday run.

    The title to the BB today is brought to by Handshake which during the early part of the run asked Hash if he was done with school. Hash provided an answer but a much lower decibel than his father (Corned Beef) would normal talk. Handshake mentioned that he could hear him from 75 feet away yesterday morning.

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • That’s not my pocket

  • Nature Called

    2 Davillians enjoy warmer weather on a run this morning.

    Route included a loop through Rutland and a cut through the trail to the library and PBR. Took a new loop around the parking lots of Truist, ER, and Bojangles before heading to Kroger parking lot.

    After a loop around around the townhouses Opus had to make a pit stop while YHC finished with a loop around the apartments to get in 4+

  • Will Frosty Be There

    3 Davillians enjoy the first day of Winter with a below freezing run.

    Route – Started with running over the fly over and head to Dewitt Dr. We then took service road to Giles in our search to see if the 20 foot Frosty The Snowman was up. We were in luck and it was so we then heading out of Giles via Halifax Green Dr hills. Then returning to Atlee Station we headed back over the fly over.

    YHC decided to keep it short still recovering from a cold and head straight back for 3.25 miles. Opus added a loop around the apartment to get in 4 miles. Speakeasy kept to the original route (mostly) getting in 4.5 miles
