As usual, this Saturday morning offers several options for all runners. First and foremost, our official start time is 7:30 and we invite everyone to come out at this time for a run/walk of anywhere from 2 to 5 miles.  However, several NRC’ers like to get in a few extra miles before the “official” start time and you are welcome to join these groups as well.  Here are the details for these groups:

6:00am – Kelli Alexander and Shawn Berkau will be running 12 miles beginning at Martin’s Barbecue at 6am.  They will be running at a pace of around 11 minutes per mile.  If you want to get a head start and only join them for part of this run, (4-6 miles or so), please feel free to do so.

6:15am – There will be a fairly large group leaving Martin’s at 6:15 for a run of 8 miles.  If timed correctly, this 8 mile run will end at Martin’s at 7:30.  At this time, several of these “overachievers” will then run 4 additional miles.  Anyone who wants to join for the first 8 miles, the last 4 miles, or maybe even the entire 12 miles is more than welcome.  This group will be running at a pace of around 9:15 per miles.

7:30am – This is the “official” starting time of our Saturday morning run.  All of the runners who met earlier in the morning will all gather at Martin’s at this time (7:30) to meet with other runners who can run at their own pace/distance or possibly join this early group for their final miles.

8:30ish – It’s time to reward ourselves by going to Mama’s Java for breakfast and post-run conversation!!!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (Scott) at 394-0821.  Thanks and hope to see you tomorrow morning!!
