RUN RSVP: Saturday 04/04

I tried something a little different with the route this Saturday. I like to keep the group together regardless of pace and distance. This is not easy to do, because naturally the faster runners get farther ahead every minute. This is why I sometimes add some obscure loop or dead end into a route.

This weekends route is all about the dead end streets. We will run down five streets that you need to turn around on. Some of these streets may be new to you, others you have likely done several times. By using this route, you should pass runners several times. The full route is 13.5 miles, however it is EASY to shorten by not running down the dead end streets. In fact if you cut all five of the dead end streets off is is only 7.5 miles.

Run Details:

• Where: Saturday, 7:00 am @ Harris Teeter
• Supported: Yes - at the tracks and water fountain at park (11 mile route)
• Weather: Forecast
• Routes: 13.5 Miles (or 7.5)

You can view the written directions by clicking on "View Notes". It more look more complex than it is. This is another perfect week to get the ladies of RMEC out running. The route ensures you will never be running alone for long. I posted this early to encourage lots of participation. Please post a comment with your pace and distance.

There is also a bike ride planned tomorrow at 7:00 AM from the Belton and Schrimper Dentist office on Winstead Ave/Michael Scott Dr. The ride will be around 55 miles out to Castallia/Spring Hope. Eric, is looking for company that is in the mix for the 30/35 mile variety. The route will run through the neighborhood behind the Dentist office, out through Candlewood/Greystone and down Halifax Rd. Then up Hunter Hill to Coley and out through Red Oak. Up Taylor Store Rd to Pullen Pasture to Castalia and then split. Long group goes straight and short group will turn left and come down 58 to Nashville. There are several locations to turn off along the way (Red Oak/Taylor Store Rd by example) for those that may wish to do a ride in the teens or 20's. On the rides we have had recently, average speeds have been 16.5 to 18. Please RSVP to Eric if you plan to ride.
