Qing for OGs/Tractors is pretty straightforward. Create routes, send them out by Wednesday, and of course, know your route. Well, I was two of three this morning when we made a wrong turn out of the HOPE track coming back to Hanes Park and 6.2 miles turned into 7.2 miles.

YHC intended to spread Christmas cheer by taking the pax through some of the better lit areas of the surrounding neighborhoods. Coincidentally, those areas have some terrible hills and few got the memo to turn their lights on at 0515. However, we all got to put the star on top of the tree by climbing…
It was a beautiful morning to run through my memory lane. Today’s routes passed my old apartment in College Village as well as the corner where I wrecked my bicycle, which then led to me to meet my wife. The Thang: OG: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6650895575/ Tractor: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6650898028/ Chomper and I mostly ran together (when I could keep…
Could not have asked for better weather this morning. Sky was clear, stars were out, and temps were in the lower 50s. Literally my favorite running weather. There was mumble chatter leading up to the run about how terrible the routes were (cough cough @Greenspan and @Resistor) but after an easy warm up down Canal…
YHC solicited BooBoo for the keys on Wednesday, knowing that if I made the route I would be far more likely to post & stick with my training plan for Ragnar. Contrary to popular belief, YHC knew what I was doing and deliberately sought out some hills. MMR said 370′ and Garmin tracked it at…
Conditions: Low 60s 90% humidity Heavy air, light legs — perfect Friday gloom The Hype YHC tried to get the PAX excited for a NFL Draft themed Q by teasing the OG/Tractors run routes with a “Scouting Report” on Wednesday. Each route has a summary with strengths, the ideal PAX the route was made for…
YHC grabbed the reigns for OGs/Tractors this AM after seeing a call for Qs from the faithful, @BooBoo #HIM. YHC has begun dabbling in this so-called running game so what better way to kick off Spring than to lead a bunch of guys through Winston-Salem. YHC wanted to spice things up and hit some new(ish)…

Facts I’ve learned from running OGs: Winston is hilly Hanes Park is at the bottom of a bowl Hills are unavoidable One time I even designed a route to avoid any major hills and I found a route with a super low elevation…but people complained because I took them through a construction zone (such divas)….
My alarm went off this morning and I turned it off, rolled over…then realized with a jolt that I had to be there (UGH…but thanks BooBoo). An even 12 gathered in the gloom for a run that basically took them down Queen and back on Reynolds. When we started, Resistor didn’t sound too thrilled about…
