Carlton,

I will be there for the long haul. Thanks to you and Doug for putting this together. My e-mail is drewbluedevils@yahoo.com.

 

FYI - There will be a group of us running trails this Sat. starting at 6am from Dogwood Dell. Feel free to join us.

I think this is going to be a lot of fun.  There are already 5 of us (confirmed) who plan to be there.

 

Definite thanks to Doug.  I truly appreciate his input and help...especially with measuring the loops!

 

I'll be out on the trails on Saturday morning for 4 or 5 hours.  Am hoping to start by 5:30am.  I'm sure I'll cross paths with you at some point as I plan to do at least 30 miles if the heat doesn't bother me too much.  I did 20 last night but the last 5 were rough.  Either I had a bad day or haven't acclimated to the heat yet.

Carlton,

 

Sounds good. I'm sure we will cross paths. See you then.

Update

The run is 3 weeks away.  As of now, here is who I have attending:

  • Me
  • Doug H.
  • David A.
  • Tom G.
  • Drew F.
  • Matt S.
  • Darrick? (I think you're coming...please send your email address to me to confirm)

Please let me know if I'm missing anyone.  It would be great to know in advance of everyone who plans to come out for planning purposes and because I'll be sending out some additional info sometime this week. 

Doug is planning on setting up some aid along the course.  I'm focusing my efforts on the station at the Start/Finish area.  I have a couple of tents that I'll bring for shade, a couple of coolers, etc. 

 

Thanks,

Carlton

BS Runners, I just sent out the first update for the run.  If you're running and didn't get it, please let me know.  I may have made a mistake on your email address.

 

For anyone thinking about running, there are 9 - 10 of us so far who plan to run.  Come join us; it's going to be a fun training run!

Good luck tomorrow!  I may join you after my group run -- if I can find you out on the trails somewhere!

Martha,

 

Hope you can meet us!  Base camp will be at the Reedy Creek Access parking lot...look for the tent.  If you post your email address, I'll send all of the maps/details to you.
