Hey Folks... Guess I'll start this since nobody else did. I decided to add the year since we're starting to overlap last year.
Who's doing what this week?
Ashley... how's the hip?
Shashi... are we meeting Tuesday night for a run?
Anybody else doing anything interesting? I'm planning on running a 5k race in Loudon, Tennessee this weekend... wherever that is!

Ashley, I really do hope you get better and are able to run. The Gastonia running community (such as it is) needs you!
Shashi... sounds good... we'll meet at the sign at 8:00. Maybe we'll mix up the route a little this week eh?
On the road again...
Have a good one, all!
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Paul... so is this the beginning of your marathon training? I was just reading somewhere this week about the Richmond marathon being the friendliest marathon. I'm almost tempted to run it myself, but I think I'd better stay in the 13.1 neighborhood, as I'm not too big on the pain and suffering these days.
Shashi... the greenway sounds good. Maybe we could start at Lineberger Park and run to the end and maybe go up the hill and keep going until we've run for 30 minutes then turn around so we'll get an hour in.
Any chance you can make it a little earlier like 7:30 or 7:45? If so, just say the time and I'll be there then. 8:00 will be fine too but it's really dark by that time so maybe we'd just want to run 4 miles if we wait that late. You tell me... I'm okay either way.
That sounds like a plan, so just start running if you're later than 7:45 and I'll meet you somewhere in that first mile.
This is actually the start of my 3rd week, but the first 3 weeks had mileage close to what I've been running. Weeks 4-18 are all going to be in the 30s and 40s.
Ashley, glad to hear that you are back running.
I am training for the Blue Ridge Realy in September, so planning on doing a lot of doubles in August, so maybe a morning and an evening run 3 days a week, plus a long run Saturday mornings. Will see if my body holds up. My ankle has been bothering me a bit.
Finished my week off with 6.35 miles at a slow, easy pace. Felt awesome.
Good to see everybody's up and running, and especially glad to hear Ashley ran without hurting!
My 5k in Loudon, Tennessee was canceled so instead I ran a 13.8 mile long run (out and back) on the Knoxville Greenway. It was fantastic and I don't think I covered even half of the greenway. Great place the run!
It's the first time I missed racing on a weekend since one cold January morning when it was freezing and I just rolled over and went back to sleep. I hate when that happens!
