For those with a flexible schedule and a dislike for running in the dark or morning cold, it's once again time to dust off the afternoon weekday run at Umstead. This will be a fairly regular run a couple days during the week for those who are able to break away from work (call it a late lunch!) for an hour. For this event, we'll run through Umstead Park. I will try to be there by around 3:50 and we will head out to the trail at 4:00. So if you are close and have a flexible work schedule or the afternoon off, come on out for an afternoon run at Umstead.

TODAY'S RUN WILL BE 5 MILES AT ~9mm pace.

This is an out and back route so if you are beginning or just don't feel up to the full mileage you can turn around at any time.

NOTE: Since we are in the inclement weather time, please make sure you check the calendar for any special cancellations due to rain, snow, ice, hail, extreme cold, extraterrestrial invasion, etc... On the rare occasion my schedule can get turned upside down and I may be unable to make the start time or perhaps even be able to run at all, so PLEASE be sure to check the posting an hour before start time. If in doubt you can always call my cell.

Where: Main Reedy Creek entrance in Cary - Harrison Road. Meet in the parking lot by the restrooms/water fountain.
Organizer: John Williamson
Cell: [masked]
Start Time: 4:00 PM

    Johnny: We could probably move the start to 4:30, but I'm not sure that would help since you said 5 is the earliest you could make it. But if 4:30 works, please let me know and I'll see if it works for the others.

    Hi Johnny: Once the days stay light long enough after 5pm that is entirely possible but for right now I want to make sure everyone can get done before it gets dark. Good news is we're less than a month away from "Springing forward" to more daylight after 5pm! :) Hope to meet you on a run soon. John
