Tag: The Pub (Page 2 of 19)

Almost every route at The Pub involves a hill or two to climb. Not a great deal of flat Earth in SOGA. The question going into Thursday was which hill would we climb.

Another perfect morning for running at The Pub. YHC arrived to find the PAX ready to go.

The route was announced… YHC considered the Defib route which would involve the Gut Check, but we went with what YHC refers to as the “Wachovia” route or the Wells Fargo route backwards.

The Pledge.

All PAX completed the hill climbing challenge.

Until next time…

It was a little cooler.  Humidity still up there.

We ran the original Pub Route or the Wells Fargo Route.

Nice to have a visitor from the NC Coast, Piglet (or Piggly), still not sure what he said.

If you check out the video on Twitter (X), you can see the nasty leech I picked up on the run on my shoulder/neck area.  At least that’s the story I am telling.  The Pub is dangerous and remote apparently.  However, we endured.

Nice to see Gastone back out for a post.

Fun was had by all.

Announcements:  Upcoming Half-Marathon Ruck on Oct 21; 2nd F Lunch next Wednesday at The Pita Wheel in Gastonia; Upcoming Grow Ruck on the coast according to Piglet.

Multiple prayers still be sent out.  Many of the same.

Nice work men.  Always an honor to lead.

Until the next one.  Aye!

This morning’s run at the PUB was a now infamous route called the Defib route, or is the reverse Defib route?

Gaston Day School Road, left on White Willow, Right on Willow Creek Drive, Left on Riding Trail, left on Windyrush, right on Hudson, left on Robinwood (part of gut check), left of Hoffman and back to start.  There was discussion post run about which way is more awful.  YHC believes this is the worst as their are numerous hills but YHC had on his HRB t-shirt.  (Hill running…..Brother?)  Whoopee wasn’t there.  YHC was looking forward to seeing where and how he parked and if he would admire my shirt.

Waterboy is taking a vacation to officiate a wedding and is going to live off the land with his M for a few days in a remote National Park on the water.  Think Blue Lagoon.  There was talk of Fox poaching to gain the pelts and craft a loin cloth.   These foxes are so sly they can unzip a backpack and climb trees.

JJ joined us at the end as he played the role of enforcer for the first four miles before joining us.  #sandbagger

Bandit handled the BB for the Diablo Sammich.

Prayers for Turtleman, Huck, Norwood, Hacksaw

Roscoe

Over the years, that’s almost always been a true statement. It was tested this morning, but a light drizzle during part of the run and a clear COT would once again allow that to be factual.

With a strong crowd gathered, YHC called the route before the clock struck 0530. We’d mosey what YHC calls the Wachovia Route (the Wells Fargo Route backwards).

0530

The Pledge

Some ran. Some stayed to Sammich.

A bunch of men showed up to run the Pub.  Defib had the parking lot cleaned up with fresh mulch.  #Leadership

Today was a special day as the Q (YHC) honored the site Q by calling the Defib route, but in REVERSE!

Run out Hoffman, right on Robinwood, Left on Windyrush, right n Riding Trail, Right on Willow Creek, Left on White Willow, right on Armstrong Park and back to the Pub.

There were ruckers there doing some work with Flintstone as Q at Diablo.  When YHC returned to the flag, YHC found a weinke for Diablo in the freshly mulched bed.  You hate to see it.  Plus the weinke was much bigger than mine.  I hate to see it.

Whoopee, who rucked, said there were ladies there that got hot and bothered upon seeing the manly ruckers, but YHC informed him that all the ladies had just run past all the Pub runners.  Everybody knows the Pub is where the ladies are.  Next week my guess is shirts will be off and the primal rituals of the rutting ruck season will begin.  (See what I did there?)

Announcements:

NEW AO ALERT!  Welcome to SNOOZE, McAdenvilles first seasonal workout beginning at 0645 on Fridays for the summer.  Starting soon.

It was a great morning for a run and Purple Haze brought an FNG out to a running AO!  The young man is a former collegiate soccer player and younger than most PAX so he should be running laps around most of us in no time.  Welcome Roofie!

The Pub had ten runners and with the FNG the Q modifed the route for safety and simplicity.  Run out to Robinwood towards the greenway and turn around for 5 miles.  Waterboy and I traded bad dirty jokes for the first half.  It is hard to execute the punch line while gasping for air.

Announcements:

Mar 4 Extinction Run at Primal at 0900.

February 11 the Folsom Winter National 0630.  All other AO’s closed

Purple Haze plans on eating lunch today.

Prayers for Breaker Breaker, Termite, Huckleberry, Praise for Purple Haze and a preparedness lesson

The numbers are still strong and the pushing rocks challenge is still working.  It will be fun to see what the numbers are for January compared to previous years.

Aye!

Roscoe

The Pub was open with nice weather and a bunch of PAX ready to push rocks at either the PUB or the Diablo Sammich.  It is nice to see the numbers increasing in January.  Kudo’s to our First F Q Flintstone for getting the Pushing Rocks Challenge off to such a great start.

The five mile pub route was the Defib Kotter route in reverse.  Run up Robinwood, right on Robinwood, Right on Hudson, Left on Windyrush, Right on Riding Trail, right on Willow Creek, Left on White Willow and right on Armstrong Park Road and back to the start.  It was a fast pace but enjoyable because it broke up into small groups of runners.  The fellowship was great and not only did YHC run fast, but also almost secured some employment while on the run.

Saturday 50 miler for charity starting at Old School at 0530.

February 11th….The Folsom Winter Nationals!

Prayer Requests:

Radar’s sister with cancer

Brokes family

Termite and his family

In COT, YHC noted that is was 10th annual Gio Day which celebrates Giovani Bernard’s 73-year punt return touchdown which helped the Tar Heels defeat the Workpack. For all but a handful of people to ever walk the Earth, this is an irrelevant event. However for those that care, it mattered. If you ever want to hear why, post at The Pub one morning, and we’ll talk about it during a mosey around SOGA.
