I need 12 this weekend, so I plan to run with the Saturday morning group as far as the water stop & then break off & run my own wacky route. I'm slow but if you need the extra miles feel free to join me! See you Saturday :)

I need to do 14, so I can join you for some extra miles. I've been on my own for my long runs the last 2 weekends - I'd love the company.

I'm for either 12 or 14. If you don't mind me tagging along. Do you have a route in mind? I mapped this: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/63038092 It is 12.5 miles and crosses the Huguenot Bridge. Anyone know if that is doable/advisable with the construction?

I need to keep my long runs pretty flat per the PT. Just so long as it doesn't have too many hills.

This is the hill profile. Doesn't exactly look flat. We can go another route. Your call. The final up hill and worst one is Nickle Bridge back to the park for comparison.

Thanks Ralph. I can't get map links to open up right on this computer. I think I need to do something flatter, if you don't mind. My ankles were bothering me some as I ran out at Deep Run Park today (though I enjoyed running the trails).

Ralph, from what I've heard, it is possible to cross the Huguenot, although you may need to run on the sidewalk on the east side. You'll have to go single file, so it's not really work-able for a large group, but a few folks should be okay.

I mapped something pretty flat since I'm training for Shamrock... from the water stop on our usual route, keep going up Three Chopt to Patterson, to Westmoreland, over to Monument, down to Belvidere across to Cary, and back up that way. I'd post the link but I don't have it saved :( I think that one is 14 total. I've got a 12 miler similar course mapped as well. We can chat about it in the morning?

Works for me. Flat it is. I will run mine another weekend.

You would be better off to run back to Maple or Libbie from the water stop and cut over to Patterson from there. Three Chopt is not the safest road to run in that area!

Thanks for the tip, Jen! We went back to Libbie and crossed there.
