If you have been running from the beginning, most of the roads you have already run. We are still leaving from the Harris Teeter, but will not head across Sunset into Candlewood at the start. We will instead work our way over to West Mount, and eventually back on the shady roads of Evergreen heading towards City Lake. We will then come back to Winstead Road and run up Amherst towards familiar roads.
Even though I have not created the written directions yet, I wanted to send this out early, so you could become familiar with the routes. Please review them in advance so no one gets lost. These are some of my favorite roads to run on. I am honestly really excited about mixing it up and seeing some new scenery. Written directions will come tomorrow.
We will start at 6:45 a.m. This will give me a few extra minutes to drop of fluids, and give us a little more day light.
Hydration: Water stops will be a little more tricky as well. They will be as follows
- 2.5 My House (1104 Spring Forest Drive on Right) Water, PowerAide, Gel, Bathroom
- 6.2 Co Ah Bar St (First house on left) Water, Gel
- 7.5 City Lake (around lake) Water Fountains Only
- 10.5 Train Tracks (normal stop) Water, PowerAide, Gel
Even though the heat is not as bad, hydration is still very important. Before you run past a water fountain, or skip some PowerAide, think of how you might feel in two miles.
Look who is is running longer: This is a very interesting week. This is the only week when the Novice Route exceeds the Intermediate Route. Much like last week, many of our runners are setting new personal records by logging 15 miles. Be sure to support each other before, during, and after the run.
