Despite not running a whole bunch lately, YHC answered the call for a Q today. A Strava Art route was the recycled route of choice. Today was a reminder that I need to get back into running shape! Weather was nice, 1 minute warning, went through the route, disclaimer, prayer. Stride – Male Disney Character …

YHC grabbed the Q slot over the weekend and decided to turn Monday into Mushroom Monday. This is an almost 6 mile route that has been used before. Nothing wrong with a little recycling, right? Weather was really nice 1 minute warning, no FNGs, disclaimer, go over route, headcount The Mushroom ~5.8 miles Start at …
This is a backblast for a run group… Good being back among the men of Stride this AM. It’s been too long. We ran the Manhunt route which is 6 miles of plenty of sidewalks and several challenging climbs. Everyone had a running buddy which is optimal. Mine was Jam who was kind enough to …
We lost a great man 4 years ago today. Cheech’s passing rocked not only our F3 community but the entire Lexington community as well. We remembered John “Cheech” Flanagan this morning the best way we know how. We ran and reflected on where we stand with our families and our Savior. We counted 37 men …

It’s a bad feeling when you show up to run group and the other 2 guys are 2 of the fastest in the region. Luckily, Pickle and Spillway slowed down just enough for YHC to keep up. While it wasn’t my most conversational pace, good fellowship throughout the 6+ miler. Conditions: 41 degrees, no rain …
Another edition of StravArt at Stride happened today with a re-run of the “Male Disney Character” route. Lots of turns. A couple of gotyas. But not impossible. I think we managed okay this time!

I will admit it…after hearing a steady rain while in the comfort of the fartsack, the last thing I wanted to do was run in the cold rain. Why did my Q have to fall on a morning when it’s 38 degrees and rainy? But, forces I am thankful for…responsibility, accountability, the focus on acceleration…got …
Good crowd this AM for 28 degrees run. Not sure if it was the idea of the beating Wander or just the need for #acceleration. Jam, Brita, and Lumbergh took an extra red pill and ran XL miles. The route boasted a hilly start, running up Church St then Pond View but flattened out after …
Perfect running weather this AM as we ran 6.35 miles uphill. Lumbergh said it was outrageous. Strava’s elevation gain calculator tells YHC it wasn’t that bad. Uneven sidewalk claimed another victim this AM. Impressive roll out of it, Nameless Pax. Jam and Eggo ran their weekly Hump Day Half…now, that’s outrageous. Below is the damage: …
Many, to include the pax who posted, are tapering for Cheech 10K PRs so it wasn’t the fastest Stride ever.

It’s been too long since YHC posted at Stride but the cooler weather means running weather. It was also time for Campaign Q #9 of 29 in 48 days. Tclaps to Pennyworth for some XL mileage. Tclaps to Pickle and Spillway for winning the race. Tclaps to DOT for generally keeping up with Pickle and …

Round 2 of Friday Strava Art is in the books. I think my next Q here may be an out and back as there were only a couple PAX that got all the turns right. Just kidding. But seriously, there were a couple gotya turns that threw some runners off. No biggie. Everyone got the …
Garmin must have paid the $10M ransom so this run counted for the 10 men who posted at Stride.

YHC has been struggling with my running the last couple months. I blame it on the wicked COVID. Well it gets blamed for everything else, right. I signed up a couple weeks back when Stride was calling out to fill open slots. With that I came up with a couple Strava Art routes – one …
This is a backblast. It’s a brief recap of the events of the day from the AO. Many pax think these aren’t important, especially for run groups. They are important. With the Virtual Shovel Flag flying proudly, 8 men ran the Angel Route. Some elevation this AM made the morning slightly eventful. Jam killed a …
It’s always a great day to post at Stride and today was no exception. I’m convinced a couple of 10k’s per week are what I need to keep me in the shape I need to be in to make everything work efficiently. You don’t have to run fast. Just come out and stick to a …
YHC has been nowhere to be found when it comes to run groups lately. Today, he showed up on the Q sheet and didn’t have a choice. So, he peeled himself out of the #Fartsack and reported for duty. And like every other time, he was happy he did! This is a solid group and …

It was a nice morning at Stride with the recent cold front pushing through. But one thing is certain in SC, the weather will change – and change fast. Reminds me of a meme I saw before the run today that said something like, “the weather in SC just dropped from 90 to 55 like …

For some reason YHC thought it would be a good idea to do a loop that included the dreaded Robert’s Street and S. Church Street heading back to Stride. So, this morning, that’s what we did. Terrible idea, but 13 PAX showed up to see how many laps they could get. Fun was had by …

Making a concerted effort to develop safer routes, YHC chose a route intended to stay away from fast-moving traffic and keep us on sidewalks and wide shoulders as much as possible.

Stride and other running AO’s around the Region are making a concerted effort to develop safer routes that we can become more familiar with. Familiar routes make safer routes.
