Tomorrow will be COLD! It will be 28F at 7:00 am, and only 37F by 9:00 am. So why get out of bed and run? Two reasons. . . 1) this might be the last truly cold weekend morning we have to run until the fall, and 2) it is Jeff Hartney's last weekend run before he moves to Wilmington. Lets all come out and wish him well. Jeff is currently the only Boston Qualifier in the RMEC. We will be looking for a race report from him to post on the blog after Boston.Run Details:
- Where: Saturday, 7:00 am @ Harris Teeter
- Supported: Yes - at the tracks
- Weather: Forecast
- Routes: 13 Miles
I really tried to make a different route that would let us get on the green ways, but with everyone training for different races, and running a wide range of distances it is tough to do. I did pick a route that is a little less common for us to run however. This one goes past the hospital and Davenport Honda. It has one mile on Halifax, but the last time we did this there was very little traffic. Most of you do not know this route. . . Print directions!
Here are some options to shorten the route:
- Remove 0.8 - Don't turn right off Halifax at Greystone (go left and remove out-and-back)
- Remove 5.0 - Don't turn right off Sunset at Kandemor (run down Sunset back to HT)
- Remove 2.9 - After water stop go down Hawthorne and cut out Knob Hill loop (miles 7-10)
Use your best judgement to shorten the route if needed. Once you finish the first main loop, it is easy to customize the route to your needs. Please start well hydrated. The first water stop is at mile-7 (unless you remove the 0.8 above). If you need more fluids, take them with you.
RSVP with your pace and distance if you are coming.

I have missed most long runs in 2009, but plan to be there tomorrow for the full route at 8:15ish pace.
I'll be there for 8-10 at a 9:30 pace.
I am planning to go 20 slow! I know it's hard for me to go slow but Arthur said I could tie a rope to our waist to hold me back or maybe Michael can hold me at 8:15ish!! Only 8 weeks to Boston and I need to log the miles.
13 miles
9ish pace
Planning for 10-13 at 8ish

I do have all of the RMEC shirts now. This includes the reorders. I should have them tomorrow morning.
Robin and I are doing 11 at snail pace!
Planning on doing 16 to 20 around 7:40 pace. Just entered the NYC Marathon lottery!
I plan to be there, distance and pace depends on my mood but hoping for 10-13 miles around 8:30-8:45 pace.
I plan to do 16 at 9:30 pace.

Larry,
I'm thinking about Morehead but waiting to see the weather!
I'll be there for 16+ at whatever pace I can sustain. I will put fluids out at English Rd between Autumn Ridge and Crown Dist. (Right after the big curve on English.)
I'm skipping Morehead this year, still recovering from the storm last year!
I am suppose to do 10 but who knows
