Anyone train in the Ellerslie / Corriganville area around 7 a.m. weekdays and whenever on weekends? Just curious. I can't run a 5:30 mile (not even in my dreams) but am working back into a 6:30 10-mile pace. I'm within 35 seconds/mile of that right about now (in other words, old and out of shape).
Need some work. Anyone mind if I tag along? cmacrunning@hotmail.com

I just want to extend an invitation to you to come up to Frostburg and run with the group on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5PM. We meet at the Frostburg Depot and do 10 miles at 7 minute pace. It is a good time, even though most of it is in the dark. There is a nice group of 4-8 of us. You are more than welcome to come if you can make it!

I live on National Highway right around Cash Valley Road. I run Cash Valley area on the weekdays, but usually real early (5:30ish) with my dog. I'll put an evening run in too some days, usually at 8:00 or so.
I think we could work something out, like a couple days a week and a weekend day.
e-mail me at taylorjus@hotmail.com.
I am running pretty slow right now, but am also on the path back.
I'd also encourage you to meet with the group up in Frostburg, they are a great bunch of guys, I wished my schedule allowed me to go up there more often.

Don't let those fast guys intimidate you. They are really great for long runs....in a way. The pace starts off easy enough and gradually picks up until there are a couple small groups, some faster some slower, but all fun

Thanks, everyone. Justin, I'll email you individually. I'll try to tag along for a few miles Thursday evening with the too-fast-for-my-blood-runners if I can make it (I'm never late - either I'm early or not there). Maybe I can start with them for 3 and then turnaround. I'm not sure I'm ready for a 10-mile run in midweek (yet, soon, but not yet). Just to be clear, though - I've only been to the Frostburg Depot once - I turn by Domino's Pizza and meet up in the parking lot down by the trail? Again, thanks everyone. Great weather to be running, too, especially for December in WMd.

Let's see... you turn down the hill at Domino's and at the bottom of that hill there is a parking lot (there's a blue Porta-Pot there right now). It is across from the old Depot Restaurant and right by the Thrasher Carriage Museum. This is not the parking lot at the trailhead. Instead it is around the first sharp turn you make after turning at Domino's. Hope to see you there!

So much for the "great weather." Oh well, knew it was too good to last...

Thanks for lettin' me tag along, gentlemen. 'Twas "fun." Seriously, it was much better than running solo as I've been doing. Ended up going 51:38. Lost the last of the regulars when he turned left onto Main Street around 38-39:00. At least I think it was him. Anyway, keep in mind I ran only a 22-plus 5K in Westernport. That puts the slowest of today's group, other than me, nearly 3:30 ahead of me...
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 at the same place, right? I'll check back here for updates. Thanks again.

Any idea what pace we were running the 1st 38-40 min? Thanks.

We usually assume that we are running 7 minute pace, but I'm guessing that we are a little bit faster than that. I know that it definitely picked up going up Main Street! See you on Tuesday!
