The last Tuesday in April found 7 pax and 1 dog (Gracie) post at the Wynfield Forest Club House anxiously awaiting what the route for the day would be.
Weather was nice and cool this morning. Perfect for what lay ahead.
The route:
Run down Hugh Torance Parkway to Stumptown Rd and take a right towards St. Mark Catholic Church. We proceeded to run up to the stop light at St. Marks. At the stop light we took a left into the parking lot and around the church and back out to Stumpown Rd . We then took a right and proceeded to run down and up towards Grand Oak Elementary. Arriving at Grand Oak Elementary we took a right into the back side of the school and ran around until we arrived at Stumptown Rd. We then took a left and proceeded back towards St. Marks Catholic Chruch and repeated the Church-School loop 2 more times. Once we completed our loops we then headed back to the Club House.
Completion of the route was just shy of a 10K. For those pax that needed plenty of repenting the 10K option it was while the do gooders ran less Hill Mary's.
I really liked this route and the option presented today. I may consider this a regular last Tuesday of the Month repentance run going forward. Good hill work, plenty of options for more or less miles, all paces friendly, safe running environment w/ new sidewalk extension from St. Marks to Grand Oak thanks to Dingo's efforts
Was happy to see Gracie (K9) join us for some exercise. Hopefuly she will be a regular. Once I get Winston into running shape and up to 6 miles I will have to bring him out to the K9 friendly AO of Fartlek to meetup w/ the other K9 pax.
As always I enjoyed the opportunity to lead such a fine group this morning and look forward to the next time.
Reminder please sign up on the calendar to Q Fartlek and make it your own.
