Saturday, 22 November -- 8 Miles -- Downtown Short Pump

Plans changed... no Blacksburg for Todd (anyone have ESPNU though, comcast doesnt have it!).   Anyhow, I planned on running 8 on Sat morning at 7:30AM from the ABC store.  I have attached an 8 mile route if u plan on running bring it w/ you and we will see you there, You can easily shaved a mile or so off the route if you want to.

If you are going to run Sat and you have any questions about the RRRC group that will be running from Dogwood Dell feel free to ask me on Sat.  The mileage really wont go up past 14 or 15 miles until sometime in Jan I believe... so it is a good and cheap ($10) way to start a marathon training program, and then you can easily scale back if its not working or you dont want to continue.  The benefit of this group is that you will get routes and there are lots of different paces out there, so should be someone you will find at your pace.  Also, as it the mileage gets up over 14 miles or so, it is tough to get those routes in the West End w/out being very repetitive each week.  I will plan on running some from John Rolfe too... but probably once a month or so.

Some of you have sent an email w/ interest, so make sure you do that so we can start talking about what marathons are out there and which one might interest you... may have to tweak the schedule a bit to get it to work.

Hope to see some on Sat.
