A group training run will be held Sunday 12/27 at Fort Ashby Primary School (location of Jingle Bell Run). We will be running a 14 mile loop starting at the school, following Dans Run Road to Patterson Creek Road to Rt. 28 South back to Dans Run Road.
The course is mostly rolling hills with 2 major hills (one early and one mid-run). The run will begin at 7:30. Hope to see everyone out.

Thanks to all who braved the elements for the "adventure" today. I apologize for the road conditions and the high water at the bridge (turned a 14 miler into a 16 miler). I think on a nicer day this would be a good route to try again. It was also nice to eat breakfast together after-wards.

what a good time. i love how a simple sixteen miler can feel like four times that amount just by throwing in some ice-covered hills and the newest member of the 175-pound club doing his best impression of an out-of-control vehicle. though, that same person did run 15:02 in similar conditions in the same place, so my mouth can't be opened too wide.
despite all this, i will say that if was about 20 degrees warmer yesterday, i was definitely doing my best greenhorn and fording the creek oregon trail style.
happy holidays to all!

Although I am not in the 175 club, nor would I ever dream of a 15:02, I had a good time. In retrospect I thinking fording the creek might have been easier than those last two miles coming back. I really enjoyed breakfast too. We need to do it again soon.
