Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 8:45 pm Post subject: BillBoard Run |
|
|
I want to do the billboard run on Tues. evening, (around 5:30 or 6:00pm) if I do not go out of town to make a business delivery. As soon as I know what my schedule is for sure I will let you know. Is anyone interested? If so, let me know.
For those of you who do not know, the billboard run is a series of hills, about 3/4 of a mile long. It is off of Hwy 11, across the road from the Shell gas station near I-59. It parallels the interstate. Everyone runs their own pace. Typically, 1 mile warm-up, 4 sets of hills (out and back, out and back), and then a cool down). It's a tough workout, but it's awesome.

I will be able to do the billboard run on Tues. at 6:00 pm. Let me know if anyone is interested. Otherwise, I will likely do hill repeats at another location.

I'd be interested in the billboards or the hill work somewhere else. Keep me posted. _________________ Run! For your life.

I've never done the billboard run and would like to try it. I have a 5 mile fartlek run scheduled for that day, so hill repeats would be a great substitute. I will be there unless something changes between now and then.

I think I am interested, but am so far off routine (drove to S. Florida on Monday and returned today; no biking, one quality run workout, a couple of short runs and LOTs of walking) I won't decide for sure until tomorrow but it sounds like it is going on whether I can make it or not. Where do you park?

We are definitely on for Tues. at 6:00 pm. I think we can get away with parking at the Shell Station. It we have a lot of people, we can cross over Hwy 11 and park on the service RD, heading toward the billboard run.
Looking forward to it. Did I mention that it is dirt, so wear appropriate shoes.

Don't forget to bring some water, gatorade, etc. It's going to be a little steamy. Looking forward to it.

Terry - sorry you couldn't make it.
We had a great crew to show up for the BB run. Let's see, hopefully, I will get everyone, Audrey and Charles, Kelly, Amber, Jim, Sheryl, Dawn, Vicki, and Kily, and myself. This is always a tough run, so it's nice when a lot of crazy people show up. Thanks to everyone who made it.

How does a run behind the Y sound to everyone for this Tuesday? The loop is approximately 800 meters. I plan to do 6-8 repeats.

I am "iffy" about Tues. My family will be coming back in town on Tues. hopefully, bringing the bottom set of kitchen cabinets. If that happens, I doubt we will finish in time, but I would like to, if they leave in time for me to make it. What time?
