I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Meh, $5 is $5...
Hillwood would be good, I hate that place with a passion, which would help in the event of intervals.
Excellent.

Vaughn's Gap is a good idea, especially for tempos. Hillwood High is close enough for me to run to, so that would be an option, too. Plus, it's going out West End instead of Harding, which is better.
This would get us ready for the Striders XC meets in August...which will get us ready to run a few real XC meets there unattached in the fall. I like it.

Brentwood Academy and Brentwood High school have always been open when I've wanted to run. Both are on Granny White just south of OHB.
Too far for me. Especially at 5pm.
As for Vaughn's Gap: maybe. I like the idea of the track, personally, because people can share workouts easier and there is more of a feel of camaraderie when a big group shows up at the track. Folks can also see what others are doing, and 12-16 x 200 would be a bitch on a field.
I assume you mean some of the Vandy and Belmont meets? If so, where do you sign up? It's been far too long since I was in a XC race.
Okay, here's what I'm thinking.
We meet at the Vandy Track until it is closed for resurfacing. I think chances are good we can get out there on Monday the first and Thursday the 4th. After that, I'm gone until mid-July. If the group wants to continue there are several options.
The MBA track is available starting in July. I think this will give us a good place to meet, centrally located, nice track. Folks could even meet at the Vandy track and jog over.
For the month of June, those interested in keeping things going while I'm gone have lots of options. The first and best is to keep meeting at Vandy until the track is resurfaced. My contacts tell me that the start date hasn't yet been set. Maybe it will be open all June.
Another option would be to move to Centennial Park, run tempos there and set out some markers for the faster stuff on the grass. Not a bad option.
Another possibility would be the Harding Academy track at Carnavon and Harding.
Another possibility would be to meet at Vaughn's Gap for the month of June for less organized tempo/fartlek stuff (a kind of pre-summer of Malmo summor of Malmo).
We could talk about all this on Monday. All this is a long-winded way of saying that I'll be at the Vandy track on Monday and Thursday of next week. And probably at the MBA track starting in mid-July.
