Brant,
Not sure how far you want to go and also not sure if the main marathon group, who recently competed in Boston, will be back on the roads by then. But a handful of others could be available.
We usually do our long run on Sundays and typically meet at Canal Place/Times-News parking lots in the early mornings, starting somewhere between 7 and 9 a.m. Most of the details are usually worked out a few days before each run.
Keep checking back here for updates.

I should be back running at that point - so I'm sure we'll get some runs set up.

Thanks, guys. Everybody should be back to it by then (just not sure how far yet.) I was at Boston also!
I'll keep checking back.

I know you're coming off the Boston Marathon, but a couple of us are headed over to western Washington County for a cross country 5K Saturday morning, May 17, in Clear Spring. You're welcome to go along if you're interested. Race-day entry fee is $20.
You can't say you're not ready; one of our local Boston guys, a 3:06ish guy, ran 19:04 or so to win a local 5K yesterday. If he's ready, you're ready, right?

Brant,
Are you going to be at the car show at RGap? I'm likely heading there as my parents will be there with one of their cars. I'm not sure what time or anything, but I'd be up for a run.

Matt,
Yes, we're are coming up for the car show. You should try and check it out. I understand that there are quite a few cars registered.
As for running, I'm planning to do 11; but I can change things up a bit. I don't think I want to do the 5K mentioned, because I want to get on back to the show. I'm not sure how far away it is.
Anyway, I'll check back here if anyone wants to put something together. I don't know a thing about the area, but I'm sure I can find whatever meeting place someone may come up with.
Thanks,
Brant

Brant, I know we'll be putting together on Sunday. We'll be going between 10 and 14 miles. Time and starting point TBD. For something kind of different that Sunday, I propose this - about 12.7 miles from Rocky Gap (starting at main lodge) point-to-point to Canal Place (and we'll leave a car downtown and drive everyone back). Take a look: www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/md/cumberland/603902990637The race in Clear Spring on Saturday is at 8 a.m. and is about 50 minutes away. So, figure finish your c/d by 8:35 and be back at Rocky Gap by 9:30 if you wanted to. Anyway, it's a cross country course, so that's why I'm up for it... www.washingtoncounty.younglife.org. |

Actually, I'll have to edit that - didn't start at the lodge. Add another 1.15 miles or so.

Kevin,
Thanks, but I think that I will be leaving early Sunday. If anybody is not going to the 5K race Saturday morning and wants to do about 11 or so, let me know. Otherwise, it looks like a good place to just take off from and do and out and back maybe.

Guys, let's try to get a group together Saturday morning. We can meet either at the Canal or out at Rocky Gap - I don't care. Obviously, the canal we know. If we meet at Rocky Gap, we could do some trails or head out Rocky Gap Rd over to Mason and back. Let me know what you guys think.

Just let me know if you come up with something. We are leaving to travel up your way Friday, but I'll check it again Friday afternoon when I arrive.
Thanks,
Brant

Sorry i didn't make it in time today fellas......there were quite a few people that mentioned a group of crazy runners coming through there this morning!! I don't know if any of you besides Brant checked out the show....there was an amazing variety of well taken care of vehicles. I went for a run around the lake afterwards and had my first dog incident....stupid lady couldn't control her collie and left me with a gash at my upper inner left thigh....thank goodness I was hangin to the right at the time!
