This is a recovery weekend. Please take advantage of the shorter miles. I know it may be tempting to just run the long route or add extra miles, but your body needs recovery runs. Take it easy, and enjoy the shorter distance. Next weekend is 12 miles for the novice plan and 16 for the intermediate plan. You want to be ready for those runs!Run Details:
- Day: Saturday @ 6:30 a.m.
- Where: City Lake
- Novice Distance: 7.5 miles
- Intermediate Distance: 9.75 miles
- Supported: Yes - bottles will be near halfway point
- Weather: Forecast (72 starting Temp)
We are starting from a new location this week. I know you are tired of the same old roads, and making 50 turns on each run, so I tried to create something new. These are both larger loop routes. You will be on busier roads than normal, so please be safe. Take a minute to review the tips for safe running again.
The Novice route is actually 7.5 miles instead of just 7.0. That was as short as I could make it and still do the loop routes. I think everyone should be okay for 7.5.
We will meet on the Chico's side of City Lake. I have not figured out where to put the fluids yet, but there will only be on stop. If you need more, bring your own (which is always a good idea). Pay attention to the route directions. Bring copies of the written directions if you need them.
I'll be there.
ReplyDeleteI plan to be there.
ReplyDeletei'm planning on it, although my foot has felt a little "funny". i think debi will probably do it also
ReplyDeletehey michael,
ReplyDeletei really like the route! i hope you didn't change on my account, though. i don't prefer the twisting routes, but you are the MAN, and i wouldn't want to suggest that you could do it any better. i really appreciate all that you put into it. i hope you don't think our little jabs are criticisms. i totally understand and agree with your concerns about safety.
No worries Brent. I know lots of people are getting tired of the same old roads and all of the turns.
ReplyDeleteNext week things get a little easier, because both groups are 12+ miles. That opens up many more roads, some of which we are running on tomorrow.
I'll be there for the 7.5
ReplyDeleteI'll be there for the 7.5 route.

I plan to be there! And this time I am running (cautiously). It has been awhile since I have run at all so I will be going slow and easy -- BUT I'll be there!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will plan to do the short route.
The list is growing!
ReplyDeleteScott, Russ, Brent, Arthur, Ryan, Kel, Tracy H, Ursula, Michael. . .
Nine runners so far. I really do need to know if you are coming, becuase I most likely will be leaving bottles out for fluids instead of just a big cooler. I don't want to be short. Thanks!
i have to work at 8am and will run from home and leave earlier. i will run an over-lapping route and see the group half way... cliff
ReplyDeleteJeff Miller will be there....Michael, work him hard :)
ReplyDeleteI'm running Friday evening. I hope to see everyone soon.
ReplyDeleteAnother good group run. The route seemed to be a hit. Thanks for coming out. . . Scott, Russ, Brent, Ursula, Jeff, Arthur, Tom, and Kel.
ReplyDeleteWhere have all the ladies gone? We are becoming a male dominant group. Hope to see you next Saturday!
^ You forgot about Ryan and more importantly, Riley (I hope I spelled her name correctly??)
