RUN RSVP: Saturday 08/29

Hard to believe but the next long run you do will be in September. . . and the MCM is in October!! Wow! It will be here before you know it. The long run schedule is odd this week. This is the only time in the training when the "novice" plan calls for a longer run. Those planing to run three 20+ mile runs should have a shorter recovery run this weekend, because you ran 18 last weekend. I expect however that many of you are not going to cut back to 12. . . use your best judgement.

We are back to 6:00 a.m. for the start time. The weather looks GREAT! It should be 68 at the start, and 76 by 9:00 am. That is tough to beat in August. Don't miss a chance to enjoy a cooler day.

I will put out fluids at my house, but I need someone else to do the train tracks and Co-Ah-Bar if possible. I will be at the kid's triathlon Saturday morning. Sorry to keep asking for help. . . been a busy summer!

Run Details:

• Where: Saturday, 6:O0 am @ Harris Teeter
• Supported: Yes - Tracks, My House, Co-Ah-Bar?
• Weather: Forecast
• Routes: 3 Miles; 12 Miles; 15 Miles

All three routes follow the same general roads, but not exactly. Print your directions, or you may go too long! The 3-Mile route has the direction under the 'Notes' link. The other two have the directions below the map. Please be sure to review the map very closely.

Please RSVP so we can prepare accordingly. Even if you are not a regular group runner, or a RMEC member. Please post a comment.

If anyone would like to run Sunday morning instead, please post a comment. That is likely my plan. Also, Steve and Arthur are racing this weekend at the Patrick Henry Half Marathon. Good luck guys!
