We have had some veteran complicated routes on Spider Run lately. YHC did some recon on Monday afternoon to confirm some distances for the 4, 5 and 6 milers. TYA had mentioned that we need some Grove Avenue workouts and with the Hill up UR drive, this makes for a nice workout route so here is the Plan.
Everyone starts up UR drive then a right on Campus Drive, this turns into Towana Road and becomes the access road after you cross Three Chopt. We all stay on this road until we reach Grove Ave and you run East on Grove.
4 milers get to Oak Lane and return to start.
5 Milers get to Westmoreland(Stop Light) and return start. This was actually 5.45 miles according to my GPS so YHC was pushing the limit with this group of the PAX
6 milers get to Malvern (Stop light) and return to start.
Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out in prayer.
Moleskin
We all returned safely on this out and back route. With the 1 mile climb at the start, this makes for a strong finish for all runners when they are returning back to the parking lot where we began.
Great run this morning gents as it was an honor to run with you gents.
Have a great day…Cheers…CB.

Nice route today, CB. 5.5 on your 55th was a nice way to celebrate. Happy birthday.
It was a great route until I was attacked by a flighted bird. At first I thought it was just me, maybe I ran into a tree branch? But when I looked back there was no tree in sight. Come to find out our visitor from Raleigh had a similar encounter about a minute after I did.
Be careful out there boys. Grove can be dangerous. Don’t piss off those birds.
