Shoreliner's Last Saturday Run!

Wow - that went by quickly!

Congrats to all Shoreliners, especially for those of you continuing on from Abe's Amble and ran your longest run ever! Hope you've been having fun, meeting new people, and finding that long distance running is not only a challenge, but enjoyable as well.

Saturday's route takes us through Panther Creek Subdivision. Water is marked on the map, and thank you to fellow SRRC members Jeanne Skube for setting out water at one of the stops this week. We cut back to 8 miles (Seems like just a few months ago 3 miles sounded like a long way for some of you, huh! I certainly still remember...) You should be proud of yourself for sticking with it! Look how far you've come! You can celebrate next Saturday by sleeping in, but for THIS week, here's our route:

Race Day: Sunday, September 20th 7:30 a.m.

Interested in Carpooling to the Race? We are leaving K-Mart parking lot (Clear Lake & Dirksen Pkwy) at 5:40 a.m. SHARP. It's a 45 minute drive to Decatur, so we should have plenty of time to pick up our race packets, stretch, hit the porta potties, etc., and get ready to RUN! Please post a message if you plan on carpooling so we can get a list of who is going and who is driving, etc. There's lots of food afterward so we'll plan on enjoying the post-race party!

Suggestion: Bring a change of clothes and flip flops (no stinkin' up the cars on the way home LOL!)

After the race - get ready for the Frostbite Festival training group (AKA the Frost Toes see their training blog at frost-toes.blogspot.com) by running the Heroes Run for Hope 5 Mile Race in Chatham on October 3rd. http://www.sprrc.net/Heroes/Heroes_Home.html.
