RUN RSVP: Saturday 11/03

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:

  • Day: Saturday @ 7:00 a.m.
  • Where: Harris Teeter
  • Route: 8 miles
  • Supported: Yes
  • Weather: Forecast
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!

My guess is that Michael intended to use the following link for the 8 mile run:

Are we running the one that Russ linked us to, or is Tracy creating a new route for us?
