Hi All,

Come out early (note the time change to 7am this week!) and run on the nice flat ATT. You can go as far as you like (up to 16+ miles total I think) on this out and back course, so either do your long run on Sat or join us for a shorter run on Sat if you are doing your long run on Sunday. I am doing my long run on Sunday this week so will run a shorter run on Sat.

Last time some of us met after the run at Panera in Beaver Creek Commons which isn't too far away, off rt 55, close to where it intersects 64. I won't be able to go out afterwards this week (play date with the kids at 9:30am) but some of the group may be interested in doing that so we can discuss before we start running.

If you are running late or need directions, please give me a call at 919-412-1122. We will do introductions and start promptly after that since I need to get back for my play date. :-)

The gate to the park opens at 8am so you'll need to park on the street/grass near the entrance. Please note the bathrooms (one at the New Hill entrance and another 5.25 mi out along the trail) open when the gate opens around 8am so please plan accordingly. I'd recommend that you bring water with you since there aren't any fountains along the way.

See you on the trail!

Mary

    Hey Robert. Sorry, just below that it says since we'll be meeting before the gate opens, we'll meet just outside the gate. Sorry about that and hope to see you next time.

    Ok, so maybe I've got the whole 'meetup' thing wrong, but I thought the posting said to meet at the bulletin board in the parking lot at 7am. Being a new guy who hasn't met anyone else yet, I got there at 6:50 and stretched and waited, and waited, and... after 7 there wasn't anyone around so I went ahead and ran.
