Let the Taper Madness continue. . . After building up your miles, you are probably going nuts now feeling like you are cramming for a test. Repeat after me: "My Training is over. All I have to do now is not get injured."This week we are going to mix it up. Gerry has offered to host a run from his house. If you have been to Tracy's before for a hill run, you are a stone's throw from Gerry's House. In fact you finish running that hill. We have a big loop planned, and Gerry is going to put a cooler out about half way, so it is very important you RSVP.
Run Details:
- Day: Saturday @ 7:30 am
- Where: Battleboro - Gerry's House
- Route: 12 miles or 8.3 miles
- Supported: Yes - One Fluid Stop
- Weather: Forecast 36F at start and 48F at finish.
If you are running the half in Myrtle, you can still have a good long this weekend, in fact it would be my recommendation. A two week taper is enough for the names I see signed up in the half marathon.
It will warm up during our run, so don't over dress, or plan to drop a layer and pick it up after the run.As always, everyone is welcome. We run anywhere from an 8 minute to an 12 minute pace depending on who shows up, so come join us!
I'll be there at 7:30 for the 11+ miler.
ReplyDeleteI plan to be there for the 12 mile run.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there for 15 miles--any takers to join me for the other three??
ReplyDeleteTracy, I might do 15 with you. Honeslty I am not sure. I would need to grab an extra drink at your place most likely.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there...but I ain't running a step over 12 miles Tracy ;>)!
ReplyDeleteI'll be there for the 12
ReplyDeleteLook, Gerry can't do a GPS, but he can "Pimp, I mean Map a run"
Kevin
^He probably got Michael to help him...you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is interested in the extra miles--SCOTT--I plan to run from my house to Gerry's which is approximatley 1 mile (so for you 12-milers don't leave without me!!!)and finish up the last two at the end. Let me know if interested.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can make it.... oh I guess since I convince Michael to come to Red Oak I have to make it! See you in the morning! :)
ReplyDeleteGerry said his house is off the road a bit, but you can pull in the driveway. Look for a sign that says "Feltons"
ReplyDeleteOff the road a bit--now that is an understatement!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be there for the 12 miles
ReplyDeleteIs it (From N Halifax) then on R.Oak-B/Boro then Rt on Barnhill Farm Rd? I Hope so that is where I will be going.
Jason I.
Jason, I think you have it correct. Just head to where the green start is on the map. See you in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI am getting in late, and I plan on running in the AM, if I can find my way.
ReplyDeleteGreat run this weekend everyone. It was nice to have such a large crowd. . . I think 12 people.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Gerry for organizing the run and providing double fluids! Still fard to beleive your cooler was taken.
It was nice to hit some new roads.
