Met with the Uprise Runners at the columns at 7 and walked to Reactor Park. Saw Dan and Sam on 8th street. Dan graciously offered the information that there was a sale on trail shoes in my size at the Shoe Department; as far as trail runs go, I hope that the pair of trail shoes that I own lasts me for the rest of my life.
Walked by the new Journalism Building, but it was closed. Walked by the new addition to Brady Commons, but it was closed. Saw a bunch of firefighters on campus. Found an open restroom (good old Hospital lobby). Saw John and Darrin running on Stadium Blvd. (I think). Met Bob on the pedestrian bridge over Providence. Everyone who sees him needs to remind Bob how much he loooooves running on the TRACK.
Went into the track stadium and saw the Uprise Runners on the other side running north on Carrie Franke Dr. Tried to run through to meet them, but there was no opening on the west side. Walked down the hill and saw some folks who were an hour early for the run, and started my warmup 5K at 8:05.
Saw Jackie (the eventual female race winner) in the parking lot of the tennis center and helped her to find the starting point of the race. Sorry, Nancy Taube. Failed to stop my watch as I talked to her, so my first mile might have actually been sub-9.
Saw team Ernest on the spur riding their bikes to the race. I confirmed that I was doing the race.
Finished the warm-up in a timely fashion and signed up for the race. There were already a lot of people there.
