Wow! It is November. Hard to believe. Think back to those two weeks when it never seemed to get below 100 degrees. November as though it would never get here. . . and now you are one week for your marathon! Some of you are only three days away.This weeks run is your last long run. For those running Richmond, Tracy will have your shirts (unless you made other arrangements to get them). Try to run in your race shirt, so you know how it feels. Plus, everyone in Rocky Mount will notice the bright orange! They may even think you are a highway worker.
This run is not about speed. Take your time. Break into a few groups and run together. Talk about the race. Think about how hard you have trained. Enjoy yourself!
Last year we had a big crowd for this run. We had signs along the way, and all went out to IHOP afterwards. The crowd will be smaller this year because several are racing this weekend, but it should still be a good run. When you RSVP please indicate if you are interested in grabbing some pancakes!
Run Details:
Those following the half marathon training plan are scheduled for a 7-mile run. If you turn left on Stoneybrook road instead of looping through Greystone, you can cut this 8-mile route down. Please everyone try to encourage people to run the First Carolina Half this December!

This comes up as a 12-mile route when I open it....
My guess is that Michael intended to use the following link for the 8 mile run:

Thanks russ you are correct. Sorry about that
I think it got changed for the worse--it is opening as a 12 mile route now. I'll work up a new route. If anyone wants it before saturday, let me know and I wil email it
Are we running the one that Russ linked us to, or is Tracy creating a new route for us?
Misty

matt
sorry, either one. I didn't catch that Russ linked one. His is fine.
actually, I just looked at the one Russ linked to, it was the same one I picked out. Great minds think alike!
