RUN RSVP: 04/14

We are running again this weekend. The weather is supposed to be great so come out and join us. There are several who are on the email distribution that have not come out to join us yet. What are you waiting for? We don't bite! We have runners of all ability levels. Some have been running a little over a year, and others have been running all of their lives. Some run a seven minute pace, and others run a 12 minute pace. Some run 20 miles, some run three. We don't judge. . . just know if you show up to run you will be welcomed.

I have created two routes for this week. You are welcome to run any roads of course, but this will give you two measured options. Route 1 is a 9.25 mile loop. It is on busy roads, and is a route that most of you have not run before. I selfishly created this route, because I need to run to my kids soccer games on Old Carriage. This means I will drop off around six miles. I have run the roads before, and they are fine to do, you just need to stay alert, and realize that cars will be coming much faster than they do in places like Candlewood. I can have water in the van at the soccer fields, if anyone needs to stop and get a drink. I am pretty sure there are bathrooms there too.

The second route is a shorter distance, but starts out the same way. If you would prefer to stay close to the Harris Teeter, this is the route for you. If it is not long enough, add on some extra miles at the end. This is easily done by crossing over Winstead and heading down Woodlawn for a loop.
