RUN RSVP: Saturday June 26

For three weeks in a row now we have had over 20 runners show up on Saturday. This weekend may be a bit more tricky, because several of us will be at the Kid's Tri on Saturday. I had planned to move the group run to City Lake, but decided against it when I realized I could not be there, and many from the group had not run there yet. So this may be boring, but we will stick with the same routes as last weekend.

Following the Marine Corps training plan we will run either seven or 10 miles this weekend. Going forward we will stay on schedule. My apologies again for getting us a week ahead. The run will start at 6:30 from the Harris Teeter.

Run Details:

Please print and review the routes. Some people got lost last weekend. To see directions click on "Tools" and then "Route Notes". You can copy-and-paste these, and then print them if needed.

FLUIDS: I need someone to put out fluids at the tracks. I can not do it and I am pretty sure Steve is not able to do it as well. If you spend any money, give myself or Scott a receipt and the RMEC will reimburse you. POST A MESSAGE IF YOU ARE DOING IT, or we will end up with 12 gallons of Gatorade. Stay hydrated, and don't forget to drink before and after your run.

SUNDAY OPTIONS: I plan to squeeze in a run on Sunday before church, and Frank is planning a Sunday morning Medoc trail run. If you are interested in one of these two options, please post a comment as well.

JULY START TIMES: Beginning next weekend we will push the start times for the runs to 6:00 am. I know this sounds early, but it is for safety reasons. Our runs will be getting longer, and the days will be getting hotter. Please don't let this keep you away. Our groups are the biggest we have ever seen. I know they will get small in the summer time, but don't skip a run just because you need more sleep.

As always, please post a comment if you are coming. Happy running!

Frank - I am actually able to get away Sunday morning, so I would like to run at Medoc. The earlier, the better.
