This semester, I have 8am classes Monday through Friday, and the workload requires me to work from the time I get out of classes usually until at least 9pm. The engineering halls are basically where I live now.  

So when I can do it I'll run after classes, but I am going to start waking up before classes start at 6:30am to get one in. My…

So During my regular run yesterday, Tuesday July 12th, I was only intending to run 3-4 miles on the northbank trail, but I ended up finding a group from the Richmond Road Runners club!
