A small group is meeting at 8 a.m. at Canal Place. Running Christie Road with Knob Hill loop. About 16, I think.
Will have water placed at 2 points on the course. Bring your own gel.

I'm not ready to go that far yet, especially on that loop. Maybe in a few weeks, though. Enjoy it!

I doubt anyone other than Matt F. plans to show up, but just in case, we might be a few minutes late in starting ( no more than 15). If you don't see my red Dodge Neon in the Times-News parking lot, we haven't started yet.
If the car's there and I'm not, I'm already gone. But I run pretty slow, so chances are you can catch up.

Matt F. was great in his Christie Road/Knob Road debut. That loop, car-measured from Canal Place to Christie Road to Knob, then Valley and back to Canal Place came to about 13.7 miles, so we tacked on a couple of miles afterward.
I did my extra on the trail, heading towards the Narrows, where I caught Rob. He looked really strong coming down from Frostburg had reported no complaints.
Great temps, nice cloud cover mostly. Couldn't ask for anything better, really, except for similar conditions on race day.
My run was about 15.5 in 1:57:25 (7:34 pace) - about 8 minutes faster than my "best" run from Frostburg to Cumberland on the trail. Not sure of Matt's final time - he usually forgets to hit his watch - but he was around or slightly better than 8:30-8:40 pace.
