This Meetup repeats every week on Friday until September 17, 2010.

**Note Larry will be organizing this since John is out, so need someone to lead the fast/far group**

Who's ready to get some Turkey Creek??? Today's run will be a counterclockwise route beginning at the Harrison Entrance parking lot and heading down Reedy Creek Lake Trail. From there we'll turn right onto Reedy Creek and take that to the end where we pick up S. Turkey Creek then N. Turkey Creek. When we hit Graylyn we'll turn left and head back down Graylyn then left on Reedy Creek back home with one last "treat" being the painful hill on Reedy Creek Lake, finishing back in the parking lot. I will try to be there by around 5:30 and we will head out to the trail at 5:34:02 PM, so come on out for a hilly afternoon run at Umstead.

TODAY'S RUN WILL BE ~X MILES AT ~10mm pace.

The route today will start at the Reedy Creek Entrance where Harrison ends, we'll run to Reedy Creek Lake, then right on Old Reedy Creek, left on S. Turkey Creek merge with N. Turkey Creek, right on Graylyn for about 1/4 mile, then back down to a left on Old Reedy Creek, then a right back up Reedy Creek Lake back to parking lot.

NOTE: 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: Larry Asakura
Cell: [masked]
Start Time: 5:30 PM
