Wanted to see if anyone is interested in doing the billboard run/walk on Tues. I thought this might be a good time to do this before Becky's Tues. night training begins.

For those who do not know, the billboard run, is a series of hills off of Hwy 11, near I-59. It's basically across Hwy 11, from the Shell station. The run parallels the interstate. It is a hilly dirt road, about 3/4 of a mile long.

This is a good way to get off of the roads, and do some hill work. You can come out and walk it or run it, and you will get a big benefit from doing the series of hills.

Let's say 6:00pm, at the Shell station. We will warm-up for about 1 mile, behind the Shell station, and then head over to the hills. We usually do out & back, and then, out and back again (that's about 5 miles with the warm-up and cool down) If you wanted to walk it, you would probably just go out and back. All speeds can be accommodated and there is plenty of room for a big group.

Please let me know if anyone is interested because I will not do this run solo. I am too much of a wimp to conquer this run alone.

i had mentioned i wanted to do it, but i have to sub for the other spin instructor twice this week, one night being tuesday. stinks cause i wanted to do this run! definitely next time!

I'm interested in doing it but it depends on the time. Probly won't be off work til 5:00ish & that's probly later than you had planned on going if you're going to Thames as well. Let me know. I can come straight from work by FGH if I need to.

This would be instead of Thames track, not both.

We would meet at the Shell Station at 6:00pm. Let me know.

I will be there. My workout schedule calls for a 3 mile run that day, so I'll plan to do that. Thanks!

My hill repeats are supposed to be on Wednesday, but I will switch it to Tuesday this week. I had to take today off instead of Sunday as my rest day, (and when you read my training log, you will see why)!! I will see you over there at 6:00.

I won't be able to make the Thames track or the billboard run today. I hope everyone has a great workout! I also will be out of town for next Tuesday's track workout (June 9) but look forward to June 16th at Thames track!

looking forward to hearing about the billboard. sorry i missed it - spin class duty called. like vicki, i won't be at the track next week either - coldplay calls!!!!!!

Audrey and I will be meeting Wed. evening, 6:00 pm, to run the billboard run. We do not want this to interfere with Becky's Tues. night track. If you had planned to go to the track on Tues., please continue with that plan. I definitely would NOT recommend doing both workouts, back to back.

Audrey is "sticking to her plan" and her plan called for Wed hill repeats, so "there ya go" Wed. it is! (so proud of you Audrey)

If you want to warm-up, meet us at the Shell at 6:00 pm. If you just want to run the out and back, out and back, meet us at 6:15, and you can park at the service road just before the dirt road that parallels the interstate. Be sure to park to the side so that the road is not blocked.

With warm-up - about 6 miles total
out/back & out/back - about 3 miles

Of course you can also alter either of these options to something that will work for you. Walkers and runners of all paces welcome.

Hello,

When I posted the info about the billboard run, I didn't realize the funeral for Mathew Rasberry will be on Wed. afternoon. In light of that information, we are canceling the run.
