RUN RSVP: Saturday 01/24

We have been having bigger crowds of runners every weekend with new runners joining us each time. I look forward to hopefully 20+ runners this Saturday as well. It will be a chilly start at 30F, but will be 49F by 10:00 am.

Run Details:

  • Where: Saturday, 7:00 am @ Harris Teeter
  • Supported: Yes - at the tracks
  • Weather: Forecast
  • Routes: 10 Miles

The route is a 10-miler that we have not done for a while. It has two "dead-end-turnarounds" which makes it good for a large group. If you plan to run less, you can skip those sections and cut about two miles. There are several other places to cut as well. Please review the route and written directions below the map.

Please RSVP with your pace and distance if you are coming. The larger the group, the harder it is to set up fluid stops, so this is important. I really do not want to see a person running 20 miles run out because we did not prepare enough.

Also. . . our regular water stop at the tracks has been given a face lift! Roger (the person who lives there) has constructed a table for us with some hooks for clothing, and also a clip so we can put a trash bag out for used cups. This is a very nice gesture by Roger. Please be sure to take advantage of the table, and not leave any cups laying around. If you are the last person running and there is still stuff out on the table, please take it with you. I will get the cooler back from you. This way everyone can have something to drink their entire run.

If you are running any morning and go by Roger's house, please do me a favor and toss his newspaper up towards his back door. This is the least we can do to say thanks. I am not certain if I can be there tomorrow yet, so if someone can set up fluids, please post a comment here. Thank you.

I rode 40 miles to day on my bike and may have suffered from some frost bite on the old toes, so I wont be running this weekend!!!

I'll run until I get tired.
That could be anywhere from 2 to 10 miles.

I am feeling pretty rotten right now. I still hope to be there but am not positive. If some reads this and can put out fluids, please post a comment.

i will be there for at least one loop, i'll probably try to hang with scott and the 8:30-40 people. i am doing more than 4 but i may need to go somewhere instead of just looping for the rest of them.

Tracy,
I tried to reserve a space for monday night RMEK at Y. Could not get a space at 5:30 pm. Karate and Bible Study had the rooms. Suggestion made was for you to call Dawn Ezell at Y and see if you could get the Afterschool program room for after 6 pm on Monday night.

Sorry for not having the fluids out guys. I heard it was a big group. I was not feeling well. I hope to get a run in tomorrow afternoon if anyone is interested.
